Default Amuse Titanium Intake Pipe

I was wondering if anybody has the Amuse titanium intake pipe? I know it probably doesn't make much gains, but if you own one how do you feel about it? Was it worth the money? I'm really interested in ordering one...

^^Bulletproof's prices are ridiculously high (over 450)--I got mine ordered for a little over CORRECTION: $400 shipped via ems--but, I'm sorry to say I cannot reveal my vendor--who ordered from amuse for me. I suggest contacting japanparts.com or nengun.com to see how much they can get that part for.

WOW that is a great price. Do you have a sponsorship deal or something? Was it just a one time deal or do they regularly sell at that price?

I can't see where they make any gains, but they are absolutely beautiful. It's the ultimate tube where looks count.

The Arc is made of aluminum--the amuse titanium.

It's engine bay bling. That's all.

Keep in mind metal retains heat longer than plastic, so if your engine bay is heat soaked (when your car is idling for more than about 30 sec - 1 minute) it will actually hurt power by keeping your intake air hotter for longer.

i think anyone buying this is going mainly for the looks and the fact that it's from Amuse. it's pretty obvious there are no gains in performance and possibly some heat soke. it's kinda like buying arc products. there really isn't much difference in an arc intake pipe and stock, but people buy it anyways for the "wow" factor.

Then you should know the answer because you just answered your own question.

Burnt Titanium please lol

On a side note, I did hear about arc making a titanium pipe like the amuse one.
