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?

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.
