^ Very nice, thanks for sharing those pics! I love how you GT1 owners are fabbing up some excellent exhausts for the kit. Great work!

Many of you have likely read this post from Ben's blog. I stumbled upon it and found it very inspiring.

Many people are familiar with Amuse and what they offer. I thought I would take some time to enlighten people to Amuse's European branch, Ericsson.

Eventually, with the help of his wife, Ericsson was born portraying the image of Amuse's branch for European makes and models. Miss Tanabe-San has been spearheading the Ericsson branch all the way before its debut at Tokyo Auto Salon in 2008; after the passing of Tanabe-San, Miss Tanabe-San took over the Amuse name as well. Since she was already acquainted with the operations of Ericsson, managing Amuse is something that she should be extremely familiar with.

The goal for Ericsson's image was to offer parts of extreme functionality while still maintaining a clean look that incorporated JDM elegance with a European inspired sense of class. Based on their experience with the S2000, Amuse/Ericsson believed that one of the best ways to unleash this German Torque Monster, was to shave off excess weight. Through this train of thought, Ericsson immediately started pumping out dry carbon and FRP aero products, and full titanium exhaust systems. What better way to shave weight than using methods often found in JGTC and Formula 1?

In the end, a wonderful company in my opinion who's high quality products represent their willingness to be one of the best, regardless of what struggles they have to face in order to do so.

I'm proud to be running a set of Amuse Hi-Tech Dampers (Race-version). they perform incredibly well, and the car felt like it was on rails when I was at Laguna Seca a few months back. Definitely my favorite set of suspension I've owned, thus far.

^ I'm assuming that being the Race-version, it is probably too aggressive to run on the street? I fully intend to run Amuse Hi-Tech Dampers on mine when all is said and done. I'm glad to know (and not surprised) that you are as happy with them as you are. Are you running them with a staggered or non-staggered wheel and tire set up?

Just for reference, these are pics of my custom fab exhaust for my GT1. Still havent gotten the kit fully installed/painted yet.
I'm in the same boat as you. I still need to get an exhaust made.
