Default Anyone having problems with Amuse exhaust?

Hi guys - I am in the process of speaking to Amuse directly in Japan about the problems some of you have had with the exhausts. Could you please fill out the info below and add any further comments you deem important...

Exhaust type:
Date of purchase:
Mileage since installation:
Type of driving: (e.g. any track days?)
Problem:
Comments:

Thanks guys - this info will be forwarded to Amuse, which I am hoping they will offer some sort of solution.

BTW, I have put 7000 miles on mine and it is still fine. I'm doing this to help out forum members as it's not very clever if an expensive exhuast like this fails in a short period of use.

I noticed it sounded different about 2 weeks ago and it has got progresively worse since. It now sounds pretty bad hence LL's rattly comment.

I'll take pics when it comes off the car.

Hmmm, it looked absolutely fine when I bought it. I fitted it and it was certainly ok then. Then it drove maybe 500 miles max in my ownership. How long has it been on now? It must be about 6 months-ish? I wonder what Honda did on fitting it. Its piece of piss to fit.

So are you not unique with this problem? ie, are there others?

Keep me posted. I will help in anyway.
