Default FS: Amuse R1000 Titanium Y-pipe

I'll probably be taking it off next week. I just had Scott's performance install this on the car on Friday. I can't stand the smell from running catless and the new profound loud noise.

Just this piece will save 37lbs off the car New goes for $1300 and 5 months waiting time. So here's your chance for probably the only R1000 in the states.

Based on dyno results, this will gain additional 15-18whp when replacing a setup with aftermarket ypipe with testpipe. Since the ypipe is one piece that goes all the way to the header directly.

Asking $825.

Again with this your getting the following benefits:
-Lightest weight y-pipe there is
-Best free flowing y-pipe there is
-Most power y-pipe there is
-Exclusive. Only one in US (as far as i know).

i doubt it saves you 37lbs just for the y pipe. I mean, the stock doesnt even weigh that much, at least it didnt feel that heavy when i replaced mine. And as far as gaining 18whp, i doubt that too.

not tryin to break your sale, just seems like alot of misleading info here.

looks like you don't like to read or research. 37lb weight saving is not just y pipe weight alone. This R1000 is a 2 in 1 function y-pipe. It is made of 1 piece titanium that goes directly to the header! It means no more cat! It's like having Titanium Testpipes, however even better because it is one continuous flow and no bends or indentation from having to use a testpipe. And yes it has been dynoed by a fellow member to gain additional 18whp.

READ here (look at his before setup, and after):
https://my350z.com/forum/showthread....ighlight=18whp

Please don't read something for 1 minute and think it's bogus cause you didn't bother looking up the fact.

Hey buddy, why don't you take your "F the world" syndrome elsewhere? Are you buying? NO, what is it to you if i have pix available or not? Are you representing a client? NO, and you calling BS because? Have you weighed the 2 Cats and ypipe together? Didn't think so. Did i say the 18whp is my car? NO, and i provided you a link with someone who HAS done a before and after dyno. Now please stop cluttering this thread.

expensive comes with the name and quality of Amuse. Amuse USA is closed now and they didn't stock items while in business. All items are made to order and takes usually 5-6months if not longer depending on the company bringing the stuff in. Actually, right now the YEN price for this item is even more now than 1320. my price is extremly fair compared to 1320+.

My R1 Y-pipe has been on order for 4 months now. The weight saving alone is unbelievable. My catback Amuse Exhaust is about 12lbs from 64lbs(stock). Definitely, a good buy for $825.

This badass exhaust part, deletes the cats. Do you realize how much those weigh? They are at least 15 lbs. each. Plus, you're changing the y-pipe to titanium. Titanium = light. I dunno about the 18whp, but this is a true 3in. exhaust. If I were stil NA, I'd consider this part.

It's natural to hate on the price of this part, but it is top notch in:

1. assembly (welds)
2. weight
3. performance

bump for a nice part at a decent price and no waiting.

will that fit with my nismo cat back? And what smell are you talking about, is the exhaust from the rear that strong or does it leak?

yes, it will fit your nismo catback or any catback including stock.

smell? the typical "test-pipe, resonated test-pipe" smell. The smell lessens a lot once the motor is warmed up though.

I had the R1000 mated with my Amuse R1 Ti catback, so the combination together made it sound like driving a JGTC race car @ WOT, so thats why it was too loud for me. Rather, the wife was complaining, so thats why its now off. And i had headers with jethot coating, so my full exhaust combination = superloud @ wot
