Amuse Titanium Exhaust question!

Hello Iam researching which Titan exhaust I should invest my hard earn money which i poured my blood and sweat into.

I looked up Kakimoto, but I hear Amuse has over-axle AND underaxle. Resonated and non-resonated. Kakimoto uses a different kind of Ti alloy for their exhaust - the kind that is soft enough to be mandrel bent. Amuse (and ARC) use the kind that has to be hacked and welded together - like HRC does on the RC211V exhaust

and If iam getting a titanium exhaust, i want lightest, anything other iam just wasting money.....

and also I hear Amuse R1 Titan almost makes 10 hp on a dynopack

anyways my question is does anyone own a AMUSE Titan exhaust? do you have problems getting pulled over and hows the exhaust sound soothing?

I live in Socal and Cops are dicks about exhaust

there are two diffrent type of Amuse exhaust

Amuse r1 titan (9 pounds)
and
Amuse r1 extra titan (12 pounds) Silenced, is more quiet than Amuse Titan.


which ones do you guys recommend?

Thanks,
Brian

Wow, I've never even heard of that brand. I thought Greddy and JIC were the only TI options. Got a link to Amuse exhaust?

The Amuse exhaust is an AMAZING system. It costs quite a bit, and I was in the same position as you not too long ago, I ended up going with a Kakimoto GT1.0Z SS/Ti canister exhaust to save a bit of cash, but if you have the Amuse exhaust, it is WELL worth it.

I did not use the Amuse exhaust on an EVO8, but I have seen them on other cars, and my friends Supra has an Amuse Titanium Exhaust, its incredibly gorgeous and gives OUTSTANDING gains, judging by how the EVO exhaust looks, you should see the same. With that said, it is loud as all hell, in CA you definitely want the quieter one. The things almost like a straight pipe, but totally worth it if you got the cash.

You should call www.bulletproofautomotive.com. They bring Amuse in and are knowledgeable about Amuse products. I'm hoping to go with Amuse also. Who brings in the Trial Exhaust? that thing looks nice to. Doesn't the Bozz Performance EVO have a Trial exhaust?

Trial has been "working" on getting their exhaust for the US release for like 2 years now. I wouldn't bet on it anytime soon... if I remember, Vivid Racing was trying to work something out with Trial, so if you're interested in their stuff you'll probably want to give Vivid an email or something.

Don't know anything about the Amuse exhausts for the Evo though. Pics, anyone?

Sorry, a little off topic...but what's the rust resistency of Ti? Will it rust a lot worse/faster than stainless?

Go to Bulletproof and check out their Amuse exhaust products. I had one for an RSX Type S and the quality was stunning. beautiful welds.

I'm running a Greddy Ti on my Evo and like it a lot, the USDM Evo bumpers stick out farther than the JDM car so the tip will end a little bit short of the bumper.

The Greddy weighs about 10 lbs,

Just my $.02

Do you think the Greddy Ti is comparable to the Amuse exhaust?

Get the R1 Titan. Great exhaust system!

Amuse has some of the nicest quality exhaust I have seen, plus their exhaust' produce a very deep tone!

Stainless steel doesn't rust, hence stainless..

Titanium is more likely to oxidize
