Default Amuse R1 Titanium with a TWIN turbo?

How will this exhaust compare to a comparable true dual? What is recommended for this to flow around 500-550rwhp range? Only reason I am sticking to this exhaust is because of sound

If performance is seriously compromised I'll use something else.

Ok I think I must have been smoking crack!

I have read too many turbonetics threads where people hack the exhaust.

So NEW QUESTION:

If you ask me, it's purely a N/A exhaust.

Yeah...i agree. It is a single 3 inch pretty much, it just splits back off into 2 tips at the end...kinda like stock.

I would definately do a true dual setup...well if i had spent the money on a turbo setup...i would just run a custom single on each side. (duals) Actually, i'm pretty crazy, i'd probably just dump them right behind the front wheels...i'm crazy like that. When my Buick was running, I would run open downpipe all the time. But your in cali so you can't do that, just get duals. I'm out.

The Amuse is for NA--A true dual would be much more fitting for a turbo setup imo

your exhaust note will completely change with the addition of turbos. the turbos will tame your exhaust note quite a bit. I really like my 2.5" aps, though I wouldn't mind it being a tad louder under WOT. The APS 3" is crazy loud. Other than that, I am sure the evoTT sounds great, and the exhaust SVRTech puts out has a nice tone. AAM makes some FI exhaust as well. You have choices, but I doubt you fill find one that sounds as exotic as your amuse

Exactly. Those are great FI exhaust systems. The Amuse R1 is purely NA. Although if you were running a TN single, then the R1 should work fine with it. OP-since u are looking for max performance, any of the TD exhausts Zivman mentioned will work great with a TT setup.

I have something similar to it. I regret not going with a true dual

Just depends on your overall goal. The Amuse might be restrictive, but you can't argue with the added weight that you'll have to deal with with a true dual.

TRUST ME!, if it were at all possible, I wouldn't be in the process of selling mine right now. If everyone were to go SC or ST w/ this exhaust, then it wouldn't be a problem whatsoever. I'm going to regret letting it go, but i'm gaining so much more if I do so. Plus, if they ever make a Dual Amuse, you better believe i'll have the Amuse back in my lineup.

There's no way i'm dishing out the price of a TT Kit for that ARC one, just plain ridiculous! I'd rather have the weight of a different exhaust instead cause that ARC Isn't going to give you 20+ hp, when I can put 5K towards other things I need/want.

I just recently changed from the Greddy EVO TT (true dual) to the Amuse. I'm not upset one bit.

Yeah, but you have a SC, not a High Boost TT... correct?

Well I don't blame you for the change then, I would have done the same thing if I were in your situation.

Default Amuse true dual

Amuse has now a true dual.

I ordered the ARC TI, but never made it to the US. (disappointed at ARC)

PS.
I might order the amuse dual for my Power Enterprise TT.
