I believe he had his exhuast custom-fabricated. Thats what I was told.
(Never met him yet but he lives in my state so I can't comment on how everything looks but the photos are bad-ass!) Hopefully next year I can change that.

^ Hunter or Colin, correct me if I'm wrong, but from what I remember, Amuse requires you to ship your S to their facility for tuning and installation. All of this for the low low price of somewhere in the neighborhood of 10k I believe.

I know you weren't really asking how much it cost, but unfortunately, that's all I know.

For the gt1 exhaust? That's what was supposed to happen (not sure if it has happened over seas or not), but all my sources state that Amuse will not and is not interested in making this exhaust for US customers.

Where in the hell do folks come up with this stuff?

It was a one-off produced exhaust just like the c/f hood on the Amuse GT1.
If you would look at the post I was pointing to w/ the "^", you would see I was talking about the hi tec rom.

**All of these statements are based on things I've either read within the forum, or have been told by who I consider to be a reputable person.**

The best I can tell, there just isn't a whole lot of information regarding the hi tech rom within this forum. It's possible I've got the $10k price tag wrong, but I do remember Hunter telling me it was a quite pricey mod. From what I've read, the ECU tuning is specific to JDM vehicles, running certain octane fuels, etc.

I would very much appreciate hearing from anyone that has greater insight regarding this particular device.
