new to the board and site, thanks in advance for the help...

i have a base model and i am checking out exhausts and i really like the amuse r1...question is does it fit the US version and how does it sound?

also, who makes the best headers...i might as well do the whole exhaust so checking these out as well..

 

nicest exhaust I've ever seen. Sounds good too but its $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

I can't account for its output...anyone out there got one dyno'ed ?
I doubt it produces significantly more power than any of the aftermarket exhausts though.

 

pure performance wise, is this exhaust the best on the market...it sure seems to be the most expensive?

 

best exhaust on the market imo...but way too much $$$...sound clip on this page: http://home.att.ne.jp/theta/kezuka/

 

Road Warrior:
Best sounding exhaust I have ever owned. I love my Amuse. Looks awesome as well. PM me if you have any q's.

 

thanks for the sound link. the amuse does have a throaty, crisp sound...very nice

does anyone know if they also make the Y pipe?

 

I heard the r1 throws the CEL.

 

Yes, they make Y-pipes in titanium and stainless steel for either automatic and mannual tranny applications. They are called R1 F Pipe listed for:

SS: JPY68K
Ti: JPY98K

Check out their website here:

It'll help if you can read Japanese.

 

Mine didn't and that's the first time I've heard that claim BTW.

 

i heard something about removing the evap on the fuel system to make the mufflers fits. I guess the guy was feeding me BS. OH well hoping that the HKS true duel comes out if not I might look into this one again.

 

Ahh OK, then it may be correct because we don't have that cannister at all, just the bracket which needed to be removed. Still haven't heard of anyone with that problem though.

 

i definately would not want a CEL issue for that kind of bank...

how do these other exhausts stack up as far as performance....anyone with dyno numbers...?

 

I think the amuse r1 is the best out there now. bang for the buck tho, I heard is the borla.

 

where's the dyno's...? anybody have sound clip for the borla...thanks all

 

I don't believe anyone in the US on this forum has dynoed the Amuse. I've done mine and got ~13rwhp but there's speculation that our cars benefit more from an exhaust than the US ones.

Re the CEL I've never heard of anyone with that problem and there's at least 6 people on this forum with it.

BTW there's a new revision of the Amuse out now. It's not polished nor do the cans have the colouring (the tips still do). If you want that you'll either have to find a used one (they change colour anyway) or buy a new one and polish and colour it yourself.

 

Nope... no dyno for mine either. Sorry.
I have not had the cell phone issue either.

 

CEL = Check Engine Light, not cell phone

 

OOOooh!!! I am so LAME!! I was like... why would the exhaust have any issues with the cell phone!? Could it be the frequency issue??? but guess not.

Yes, I do have a check engine light come on. First it wasn't but a couple of months after I installed it, it came on. I had the shop inspect it but there is nothing wrong with the exhaust installation or the car..... It comes on and off depending on the mood of the car or the exahusts. It's not a big deal though. I learned to ignore that orange light.

 

well that CEL is an issue, but it seems to come on for some and not others....maybe US only..?

 

I'd say it'd have to be the removal of that cannister. Not having seen one would it be possible to relocate it rather than remove it?
