Default Poor man's Amuse R1 Titan

I have become completely infatuated with the Amuse R1 Titan sound...that I have become willing to fork out the cash for one; but that will kill my supercharger savings fund...

What other exhaust out there creates a sound closest to the Amuse exhaust?...If I can find a cheaper alternative it may save me a year or two on my supercharger saving fund...

just get one custom made. there is nothing real special about the design. it just uses 3 resonators like a corsa exhaust would. no mufflers and adding resonators usually ends up sounding very nice. make a 3" pipe off the y-pipe with one 3" resonator in-line. then y out that pipe to two 2.25" pipes that wrap around into 2 seperate resonators, with tips exiting them.

here is an example of what a car with no muffler sounds like:

Based on those videos...my Borla TD doesn't sound much different. Neither do the Fast Intentions and Stillen, imo.
