Default Amuse system

I love this exhaust sys. w/the y-pipe. However, i was wondering if anyone has bought this expensive system w/ the y-pipe? The dyno shows 21 hp. gain and 4 kg/m gain in tourque. I'm guessing the 'kg/m' means kilograms per meter? If so, then, what does 4 kg/m translate to in lbs/ft tourque?
Do you guys trust the validity of this dyno? How would we know if they did any other mods?
thanks,



Gerardo

That's the $1800 system yeah? I would NEVER spend that much on an exhaust. Just wait a few months, there will be systems out that might not give as much hp as this system, but will make the car sound better than this system does, which is more important to me than the hp gain. Any gain from any exhaust is gonna be pretty negligible by itself. I'll be relying on turbo for my hp gain. The rest is for sound, and to facilitate the turbo.

to spend $1800 on an exhaust system is NUTS! It doesn't cost half as much to fabricate. I guess they are charging for the R&D and you can also be the first in the state to get one...

Just wait, we should see exhaust system around $500-$600 soon..

Well, in all fairness, a titanium exhaust is spendy to make. My buddy has an nsx, and he paid $1200 for his titanium exhaust, but give it a while, and the cost of that one will come down. It'll have to to compete.
