i dont have a R1000 but i know its full TI, does it have little springs that are like a fail safe if the muffler would fall off, my JIC has a TI muffler and clamps to hold it on and it had a rattle but it was those spring im talking about so i took them off

A lot of Amuse owners have reported rattling issues. The rattles appear to come from inside the resonators/mufflers and can't be fixed.

it seems to be coming out of the muffler, but it doesn't do it all the time so is really hard to tell. Hey, faukengenius were the fenders direct fit? they make the tires look really small

welcome to the amuse rattle club. both of my amuse exhaust's had a rattle. like stated they were coming from inside the muffler, another local SoFlo guy had the same issues with his. it just seems to be something amuse is prone too.

Wow, i'm glad i read this thread before i went out and purchased one of these. Absolutely unacceptable for a $2000 dollar exhaust .

A few customers have reported this but they were running insane amounts of boost so we weren't sure it was the exhaust itself. Ben had the dual on his S2k for awhile and never had it though. Who knows, I'm still geting an Amuse for my SC300....Amuse's artistic quality and 50lbs of weight saving is worth it.
