As promised, side by side pics of my R1 titan and R1000. It gives you an idea of how much bigger the R1000 is. As for my impressions now that I have the R1000 on my car. I can't believe it is so much louder than my test piped R1 titan. I could defiantly fell the loss in midrange power but I guess it pulls harder up top. I love the more aggressive angle at which the muffler can is tilted exiting the rear bumper.

Awesome post man!! The difference is certainly substantial. As goofy as it sounds, it's bad a$$ seeing the two of them side by side. I look at my R1 every day, but in central Arkansas, having the opportunity to see the two, and be able to compare them will likely never happen!
Again man, great to see!

What you are about to read, is in my opinion, the best news I have heard in my 13 months here at BPA, and I am SO excited that it pertains to the S2Ki community.
Unfortunately, I do not possess the writing skills to give this news the intro and praise that it deserves so I will just come out and say it.

In case you do not know what you are looking at, this is the new R1 Titan EX-Manifold STTI by Amuse. Their titanium exhaust manifold for the S2000. For the longest time we wondered if this manifold would ever find its way to the community.
Many of you have called asking about the pricing and availability for the titanium exhaust manifold and I had to keep giving the same unbearable news: Since titanium is more rigid, it does not flex as much and since weld points are the weaker areas of any metal fabricated product, it is only a matter of time before the titanium exhaust manifold cracks due to extensive flexing and temperature fluctuations.
Well I do not know how they did it but they did. The only way I can explain their capabilities to pull this is off by saying...its Amuse. They are known for working miracles.
It brings me great pleasure to announce to the S2Ki community, the community that has taught me so much about my own car and supported me during my growth here at BPA, the pricing and availability for this Amuse titanium exhaust manifold for the S2000.
To those of you that have acquired the stainless manifold from us, this STTI manifold is only 2.8kg lighter (supposedly) so you are not missing much and I would suggest sticking with what you have; unless you want to say that you have a full Amuse titanium system throughout your S2000 *raises hand*
