I do
In my opinion it's a bit exagerating due to the size but I must tell you that this thing is LOUD but again that's because is a straight pipe with nothing to minimize the sound. I love it though except for my neighbors. I'm sorry I don't have a sound clip right now because my car is down
Pero dejame decirte algo, ese exhaust te va a poner sordo

Check classified thread. I have one for sale, $1,100 shipped. Pics are available on the post. No sounc clips though. If you want to minimize sound, I spoke with Random Technology and they have a 4" cat that you can use. You obviously would have to cut the piping and weld this in.

Also, for what it's worth, it is only titanium can, stainless piping. Keep that in mind when making your decision. I almost bought the HKS Racing Ti until I found this information out, and verified it by holding it and "arm" weighing it. The Amuse Titanium unit, it is a true, complete titanium unit from the downpipe back.
If saving weight if your concern, get the Amuse Ti exhaust, it is complete titanium. However, if you just want it just to have a "titanium" canister portion, save yourself some money and just get the Apex N1 can and just have it mated up to a stainless pipe.
Not trying to kill anyone's sales or anything, but thought i'd shed some light on the "titanium" unit that I almost bought as well when I was in the hunt for a lightweight titanium exhaust.

13BManiac. I live in New Jersey and can ship to you. It's true that it's only the canister that is titanium but for the size of this exaust, it's not heavy. Some people are wondering why you want to go so big on the piping. For the hp you want to run and as long as you have a well made and tuned manifold, you can go as big as you can possibly fit. If some of the guys can't afford it, don't hate.

I hope he doesn't mind me posting an email he sent to me, however, here are the specifics on the exhaust:

The R1000 goes from the Precat-back. It eliminates the main converter completely, so it actually has a downpipe built in. Weight of the entire system is 6.8 kilos (the stock parts it replaces = 33.4 kilos)
It has 89.1 mm piping throughout the system to a 130mm tip. 100% titanium in construction (even the hangers on the Amuse parts we bring over are hollow titanium tubes to save weight (in most cases). I would not recommend the R1000 to you and say its quiet - it will be considerably louder than stock, and likely louder than the piece you currently have.

wow, that amuse exhaust is almost $2,000. do you actually own that exhaust? if you do, what are your impressions of it? how's it sound? got any pics? i doubt I'd ever bite the bullet but i'm just curious.

that amuse exhaust is to pricey i can save 900$on the hks unit even is cheaper than the amuse with the stainless piping.
hks parts are high quality. my car is street racing and some weekends to the strip i think i can save 900$for a few pounds.
post a pics of the amuse looks amazing.
chinaman i will pm you for details

so it includes the DP? or is it just the mid pipe and catback?
i wouldnt think anyone would need 4" on the twins, and single turbos vary so much in location, etc. that it would probably not fit without modification

I agree, 4" is overkill even for upgraded twins like mine. I dont think I am losing anything by having a 3" exhaust.

sounds like what i will be getting soon. what did some of you pay for a custom 4" downpipe?
people said i wouldnt be able to drive a half bridge on the street, or go without power steering, or a/c.
right now i have 3" and cant use my phone, and can only hear the radio at full blast, so this shouldnt lessen my cars street abilities

Swolbynos, There is a shop not too far that said they would do one for $150. Saw one on one on their STI race cars, looks really nice. For a shop to do one of these for you, especially if you are running single turbo, you will need to have the car at the shop so measurements will be right.
