I had to go purchase some new exhaust hangers for the rear since I gave a few away when I went with my JIC single. I will have this on early next week and take some sound clips for those that are curious on how a fully modded N/A amuse sounds (without internals of course).
















****Pics of it installed and pics showing ground clearance of resonator.

 

very nice

 

wow,
I want that exhaust, bad!
Looks great man awesome choice.

It doesnt come with y pipe?

R

 

That is so juicy....

 

You would think it would right since Amuse likes to conduct the ol' reach around, but no it doesn't. I will be keeping my eyes open for the Amuse piece that replaces the y-pipe and test pipes to complete the exhaust system. The last one that was up for sale here slipped right by me or else I would have the complete system already.

 

lol.......have fun with a gazillion parts in your backyard...

 

You won't regret it, and i'm sure you can already tell how it's money well spent in the overall quality in the welds, it's lightweight, and pure sex of the look.

 

very nice!!

can you weigh it?

 

LOL

I sure will. However, according to Z1 Auto's site, the exhaust weighs in at 19.6 lbs

 

Congrats again Rick!

AFitchTLS: You honestly feel that its worth the $2k price? I'm seriously have be considering this exhaust. What y-pipe are you using?

 

I didn't get a chance to take a close, close look at the welds yet, but from what I have seen so far.

 

amuse is the THE BEST an SEXIEST exhuast for th Z to date! the 2k price tag is all up to you. If your looking for the best performing and looks for an exhuast this is worth it. If your looking for just performance it may not be worth the 2k since it doesn't even come with y-pipe.

 

Nicee! I'm waiting for my amuse r1 too

 

Nice exhaust Rick. Your gonna love it. Just be carefull with the mid pipe as it drops pretty low to the ground. I have dented mine due to my 1.2 inch drop. But, with your insane drop it will probably touch the pavement hehehe... hope it doesn't.

Eh, nothing special. I personally liked your JIC exhaust better. I thought you were a purist all for the lightweightness lol?
I just think that exahust is too expensive for an exhaust which doesn't sound all that special.

 

Yeah I honestly do think so, compared to what i've seen out there. I have my own comparison with it side by side of the HKS vs Amuse and HANDS DOWN it was worth the extra bit of money. I am using the Japtrix Y-Pipe.


Rick... it's a work of art that's for sure.

 

Yes, do not get me wrong. I LOVE the JIC exhaust to death. It has the most straight through design I have seen for our cars and it is by far the lightest! However, I think the JIC fit the personality of my car more when it was carbon'd out since it is loud and ballsy without the rice, but now that I went in the direction of the clean look. I think the Amuse is a nice piece to add to my arsenal and I personally think it suits the cleaner look I currently have now. It only weighs 9.8 lbs more than the JIC, which is not that big of a deal since now the mufflers sit like OEM and help with aerodynamics, so to me I think it evens out considering how nice the Amuse looks aesthetically.

Although, the Amuse does not impress me from what I have witnessed in person with basic bolt-ons, I have yet to hear it with a straight through setup like mine in which I think it has potential

 

LOL. I will make sure and take a picture of the clearance of the exhaust once I set it down on the ground just to see LOL

From what I can tell so far, it definitely is very nice. I want to one day compare it to an ARC exhaust just to see some of the differences since they seemed to go in slightly different paths in regards to the build design with the Amuse being the more aggressive of the two. Although, I love HKS I just do not think you can compare an exhaust that is essentially stainless steel with titanium exhaust tips to a completely full ti exhaust that is built much sexier and with much more weight loss on top of it. Amuse > HKS

 

did you buy it used?..... looks like theres some build up inside the tips?....just wondering

very sexy.... BTW
