R1 Titan Amuse
 

Hi there, I already ordered the R1 Titan Exhaust for my 86. However, theres an optional Straight Pipe also by amuse, and that costs about $1400 here, plus the exhaust itself is already $3500.

Is it worth it to get the optional straight pipe?

from this thread

It was mentioned that , the exhaust + straight pipe = +20 HP
I wanna get both, but im still not too sure at the moment, the Pipe is quite expensive.

Edit: Updates !-! , the R1 Titan Amuse exhaust installed

All i know is i demand videos, your the first person ive seen to buy one so far.

If you a baller & can afford it, I don't see why not. But there are so many straight pipe options for a fraction of that price.

I personally can't really justify $1400 for a piece of pipe though.

buy it! be a baller + I wanna see the full system on your car

If the video in your link shows the car with the catless down pipe, it sounds absolutely incredible...I would do it.

Congratulations on being one of the first to get it! I think that's one of the best (if not definitively) sounding exhausts out right now. :bow:

I just ordered it a few days ago, and they said its going to take about 6 weeks until it arrives. 4 weeks to make, 2 weeks for shipment.

Im pretty sure in the video, both pieces are on the 86. Thats why Im still having doubts whether to get the optional straight pipe or not.

Where I live (asia) , theres already someone else with the exhaust system, but he didnt have the optional pipe as well, and I never had the chance to hear the sound of the exhaust, people said its really good, and I was desperate. I cant find any videos on Youtube, thats why I wanted some advice.

You might as well go all out and get the straight pipe. Don't half step. Not sure if it will affect the sound though. But it will be another piece that will give you weight reduction if you care about that. :thumbsup:

ginstreet, I really like the sound of the amuse exhaust too, but like you said, there are just so few videos on it, please, PLEASE posts review, and lots of pics and videos on it. Finish it with a dyno test and it would be absolutely perfect!

I got the exhaust already. Pics uploaded above. I did not get the Optional straight Pipe but im ordering that now. However, EVEN without the optional pipe, it sounds crazy (in an awesome way), sounds like a GTR, and what dissapoints me is that it lacks power (HP wise) while making that beautiful sound from the exhaust. I dont like when a car makes a loud noise but not accelerating fast enough.. but, Totally worth my $4000. Pretty sure this is the best exhaust for the 86 at the moment.

The optional Straight Pipe (Titan R1000 no.2) should reduce even more weight and gain more HP, not sure if it will affect the noise, hope not, cause its beastly enough as it is. :)

Maybe give the ECU a hundred miles or so to get used to the improved exhaust flow?

Video please?

oh my....soooo nice

that's thing is flawless. probably the best welding and fitments i've ever seen

No catback exhaust is going to give you +20 whp, but who cares you're balling.

I hope its the best seeing that its over 4 times the amount of any cat back exhaust available lol ;)

Wow

!!!!!!!!!!!.........Well your money and your car, hope you enjoy every second of it.

Wow.... Baller as fuck. This is coming from a guy who's got $13k in his car.

That's fucking beautiful!!! PLease please post some videos! I gotta hear this exhaust. I'm gonna stop eating so I can afford this.

Need vids :)

I normally dont post vids but a lot seems to asked for it. Understandable, since theres no single vid on Youtube.. :)I'll try to post a vid by this weekend, not sure if the sound from the vid will be as good like when your actually standing there. I learned that at times , exhaust sounds from videos is way different when you hear it irl. Lets hope it'll sound just as good.

Nice!!! Soo balla

Pleaseee post videos, drive away and in cabin if possible

Would you also be able to take another picture directly from the back of the car but a bit further back? I just want to see how well the exhaust fills up the TRD rear bumper openings, thanks!

Just out of curiosity, do you own a sweat shop? Lol ;p

Yes! A fellow Amuse head! Can't wait to get mine in, I also went with the R1000 pipe

Pics and video please!

Any pictures of the single exit version?

Is what they call the straight pipe the same as we call the front pipe with cat?

I found a clip online that seems to be the exhaust. I have to say it sounds rather dull compare to the clip where drift king is revving the engine. Maybe the front pipe does make a huge difference in the sound? Can any of the guys who own the Amuse confirm or compare the sound IRL to the clip below?

Here's another one I found

I don't see the justification of buying this system... If it sounded like a Ferrari Italia or gave some damned good performance increase... I'd spring the cash for it.

When will you be posting the video ?:respekt:

It was designed to work with the exhaust. I dont see why it would effect the sound in any bad way when it was MADE to be used together...

Any updates??
I would like to see the video that OP said will post soon... what happened?
Did he die? lol

Anyway here is a video of mine with the straight pipe, Enjoy :D

Best exhaust ever, salute!

It sounds like every other exhaust from Japan!

Just saying...

People in here get so shocked that Ti costs $$$$. Probably one of the lightest set ups you can buy.

I did another sound clip for those who wanna hear the exhaust note :)


Enjoy !

Sounds exceptional! How is the tip alignment in the bumpers on the Amuse system? in terms of evenness compared to one another? I have seen pictures and it looks like at times one tip is higher than the other, small things like that slowly drive me insane my OCD kicks in lol. Seriously considering this exhaust however.

The tip alignment was abit off during the first week for mine. But was perfect after that.


You will need to loosen the bolts after driving it for awhile and readjust the 4 rubber mount to get it perfect :)
