I have come to the conclusion the Amuse dual ti is too restrictive for my setup.

I have split open the resonator canister twice.



This was welded up and held:




In addition there is something going on inside that is obvious from the outside:



The titanium is weakened and appears to have been altered. There is a new pin hole in the one spot.

Anyone with titanium experience that might venture a guess as to what is going on?

I am concerned about back pressure in the system. Notice the strange heating pattern:




It is only turning blue where it is necked down indicating restriction downstream in the exhaust flow.

 

Those pics don't look good, not for the price of the exhaust. I know they use pretty thin wall titanium, Apparently, it doesn't not have the wall strength to stand up to your car. How long have you had the exhaust on your car? I remember reading it took a while before they turned blue all the way back to the mufflers.

 

Have the resonators been blowing out on downshifts?

 

I was planning to put 7psi of boost on my Ti Amuse, but think I should sell it and get the single one, or just see what happends.

 

Side

Amuse is the less restrictive dual exhasut I think.


Which is pipe diameter?
Did you call amuse regarding the this?


It would be good, get pics from other members, preferly the first owners of Amuse Ex and compare them with your Exhaust

SC'd for a year with the Mugen without Sideways' excitement.



All of the Yoshimura Exhaust's I seen on bikes are very well done. I wouldn't hesitate trying them for some supplies.

 

What does it sound like with the blown open resonator?

 

Yeah, Yosh is bigtime. I'd hate to see what they charge for the materials though.
