Amuse R1 dual. Even quieter than your HKS.

Personally... I shy away from resonated titanium exhausts because of the increased chance of the resonator breaking.

Yeah.... the more I read about those issues... the more I get away from the idea....

From what I have read the most problems with resonator rattle are addressed to Amuse users... I think the titanium used for Amuse exhaust systems is too thin.... --> short life.
Amuse themselves claim that R1 Titan exhausts have a life period of 6 years, steet use.... 2-3 years when tracked.... that's poor for a 2000$ exhaust IMO.


Which exhaust would u prefer?


I'm so torn about my decicion.... damn!

Sorry for my bad english.

I have both the 70rr and the 60rs. The 60rs is perfect for a daily driver. With the silencer the 70rr is almost quieter but it sounds ricey because of the small exit hole in the silencer. Without it, its definitely loud. I have one of the older 60rs' so mine rattles but supposedly they fixed that...

I love both exhausts... hard to choose from those 2. I am partial to the J's because I used to own it but I sold it once I went boost to get a 3" exhaust... on top of that I had the annoying rattle everyone's talking about and it made my over $1k+ exhaust sound like a piece of junk. If you're worried about the R1 being too loud, the J's is a very nice exhaust that can be pretty quiet if you want it to, or loud if you drive aggresively. However, the Amuse sounds amazing too and has a good look to it.

Frankly though if it were me I'd stay away from titanium exhausts all together due to the rattling issue. They all say the problem's been fixed but I'd rather not take my chances with such an expensive exhaust. That's why I now have a T1R 70-EM that is stainless steel.

The T1R 70EM may meet your needs... I would look into it. If you want to spend slightly more money, the ASM singles may be a good choice. I'd stay away from resonated titanium exhausts though (thats just my opinion).

And.... your English is better than half the people on this website!
