Default Amuse R1 Titanium Installed (pics)

After 6 1/2 months, it finally arrived. Installation took about 1 hr, including 1/2 hr to remove the evaporative emissions cannister. Took it out for a ride, and needless to say the sound is absolutely zex. I have never heard any exhaust on any vehicle that I liked better. The only other mods I have are a K&N drop-in and a JIC Y-pipe. After I got back from the first drive I popped the hood and caught a glimpse of something strange in the area in front of the air filter. Since the car was not driven all winter, something made that space a food storage area. Took out the filter and found 1/3 box of frosted mini wheats! About half of the surface area of the air filter was covered up. The car ran perfectly, and I never noticed any ill effects on several sprints to 100mph+. Think about that next time you drop $500 for a barely improved intake flow path...

BTW, the SES light came on only after I turned the car off and back on again. I cleared it, and same thing happened, it stayed off until I turned the engine off and then back on. Now I know how to get past emissions testing!!

Nice exhaust. Any way to maybe put a dent into the canister instead of removing it to fit the exhaust?

No, I think it was way too close, and the cannister is made of plastic and full of gasoline fumes. Not sure I'll miss it, and as long as it passes emissions, I'm good.

Looks awesome. That is my number one favourite exhaust now if only had the money for it.

Quick question... i've seen this in a couple other Z's with this exhaust.. but did your rear-end lift up a bit after the install?
