Amuse Powerhouse exhaust

Has anyone heard anything new about this exhaust? Dyno runs?

There were some dyno numbers in one of the videos but they were in flywheel HP, not WHP. I believe something like 21HP. The gains were with their catback and cat replacement pipe, I don't think there were any numbers with just the catback.

Both parts together are almost $4K...

Looks amazing. I'll probably get this one. Unless they make a single exit Titanium cannon. I would also like to find out more about this exhaust system. Like how loud is it really? Does it drone..bla bla

I love the sound, but I really want to see the performance gains of a full header to exhaust system from Amuse.

These look and sound amazing, but the price tag makes me cringe a bit. Although I suppose it is cheap compared to a Nismo Exhaust for the GT-R at nearly $27K LOL.

Thanks,
Rick

If we really get over 20+ whp gain...it's something I would seriously consider.

Japanese tuners have always claimed big power increases from exhaust system. Make sure you carry a grain of salt with you when reading their data.

Yeah, I'm pretty skeptical as to if that power gain was from the exhaust alone. Which is why I'm anxious to see a video of a dedicated dyno run for this exhaust.

So aside from this exhaust, what's the next highest power gains seen from other exhausts?

Well, one could argue Amuse offers 2 benefits: 1) power gain, 2) weight savings.

But yes, it's astronomically expensive as is the case with anything made by Amuse since it's all made to order (I believe).

The Greddy EVO3 looks like it makes pretty decent gains, but pricing isn't available yet.
