Amuse Exhaust Installed
Just finished installing my amuse exhaust, installation was really easy, took me about an hour to get the stock exhaust off and and about 20 minutes to get the new exhaust on.
Weighed both, the stock exhaust was about 39 pounds with the mid-pipe going to the cat, the amuse ended up being about 18.5 pounds slightly less than half the stock exhaust. It was unreal how light it was, the mid-pipe going to the cat was like a feather and the muffler could easily be lifted with one hand.
As for a performance increase, I don't really detect anything, but then I didn't expect to feel a big difference if any at all. I like the sound so far although it's fairly loud, not a buzzy sound though. I plan on recording some movies of it soon and posting them so everyone can hear what it sounds like, other than that if anyone has any questions, ask away.

How much does it cost you, if I may ask?
It supposed to gain about 13ps at the wheels... so it is GREAT STUFF.
If i have it then I will look at rear mirror all the time, don't want people hitting my rear

Ex- member.
I'd like bigger pic's please. Looks nice.
Those pipes look big, but not as big as the greddy.
I'll be waiting for the sound bite. Any camera that has a 10sec mpeg cababilty should be fine.

Alright everyone, dummy question time! 
What material is this exhaust made of? I really like the way the tips look with the bluish flamed look and I always thought that was only found on the titanium exhaust, is this true? Thanks in advance.

Yeah it's titanium, you can find it at www.bulletproofautomotive.com
As for bigger pics, here's the originals, they were taken in 6 megapixel mode so the largest one is about 3 meg.

You'll probably have to right click and "save as" to download them. I should get that movie soon.

this is disrespectful... I think it is EXTREMELY nice
I think it is very nice. I don't have the time and money to look after a Ti exhaust though. You better know somebody that weld those exhaust and DO NOT go over humps in great speed, becareful reversing out! They are paper thin and AMUSE's one here have cracked it.

I'll be out tonight at 135th and Antioch at Twisters with the rest of my club. The * is still in the shop for the new kit, but I'll have the Widebody 3rd Gen Eclipse out.
