No, I've known these guys for more than 10 years. I also know that most Japanese tuning houses only produce in very small production runs and with such a new car and product, revisions are likely to occur. Probably just a fit adjustment but I can hope for more power

My Amuse is here!!

Going to try and pick it up this afternoon but with my work load probably won't. Also working on the weekend so probably won't get it installed either

Pics soon, dyno in a week or two.

As long as it's ready for the track day...or else!

:P

AHHHHH you got it !
That was actually pretty quick.
Dont forget to weigh it up
I am really looking forward to your impressions of the system.

apsilon

I spoke to them this afternoon. The "improvements" are minor. There'll no longer be so many joins in the piping. While this will look neater it won't make a difference to performance. Secondly the cans will no longer be heat coloured, only the exhaust tips. Apparently there were a lot of complaints from people who didn't realise the colour would slowly disappear.

Anyway no way I'm going to be able to pick it up before mid next week so it looks like I'll be installing next weekend

They ordered 2. 1 has come in and is the current/original style. The other will arrive towards the end of next week and be the new style. So if anyone wants one they'll have a spare. Price is $3300.

I also found out a certain someone on this forum has ordered some Tomei cams and didn't mention it. Hoping to have an advantage at the track day are we?

Innocent.. Asked about them but need more proof first. The exhaust is bloody light though.. Picked it up and didn't realise that 8.5kg was so easy to pick up.

apsilon

I was thinking about the weight today. It's about 8kg and gives about 8rwkw. The HiTech is about 16kg and gives about 16rwkw. So in terms of power to weight they're the same.

zuff

not if I get it in Ti..

hehehehe

zuffy out!

apsilon

zuff = zuffy? What happened to your old account?

Right now you can't get it in Ti. BTW they still haven't responded to my emails. How many weeks/months has it been now? Pretty poor customer service considering I was looking at spending a couple grand with them.

Keep in mind I can still add a Ti Y pipe for less weight again and more power

zuff

it got screwed like it does on big forums but do you think i could get one admin to help me out.

wtf...i was 2 days without news...i just opened another account out of frustration.

apsilon

It's here!! It's here, it's here, it's here, it's here!!!

Wasn't easy but I managed to pick it up today. Hope to have it installed before the weekend. Quick pic, sorry about the quality.

zuff

nice! very nice!

Congratulations !
If your anything like me, you'll place it beside the couch so you can glance at it and marvle at your wisdom while watching TV

You probably can't tell but it's on my bed. No I'm not married Just out of frame to the left is a new 4 core rad and extended spring shackles for my Land Rover.

Yeah I'm a car guy.

apsilon

Installed!

Initial impressions. Much quieter than I had expected from that sound clip. Not much louder than stock although it may free up a bit once I get some km on it. Also a bit deeper sound than I got from the clip.

The only thing I don't like is the look from directly behind. The tips are so large and so shiny inside you can see right up the pipe. Looks a little strange IMO. I'm considering painting them inside with flat black hi temp paint so they're not as obvious.

All up though I'm very happy with it.

Pics to follow.

zuff

Don't paint the tips on the inside ! They will get fouled and it will be black from the exhaust in no time.

How about power? Any better?

Is it worth dynoing?

apsilon

I won't be painting them in the next few weeks, plan on waiting and see how they colour from the exhaust.

Power's hard to say. I didn't get any clear road to really even give it a bit. I'll definitely dyno, I only expect a handfull of kw but I want to keep track of each mod so I can see what gives what gains etc.

apsilon

BTW I forgot to mention the reason it doesn't fit on the US cars properly is they have an emmisions canister that fouls the exhaust. While we don't have the cannister we do have the bracket the cannister mounts to and it had to be removed for the exhuast to fit. Not a problem but thought I'd mention it.

EDIT: Just snapped a quick pic. Nothing new, you already know what it looks like.
