It's not shown on Bulletproof's website, but they will aquire it for you if you ask. I'm not quite sure how much it is though - $400 comes to mind, but I could be wrong.

Just got this AMUSE dual not too long ago.



Only 12lbs! Easiest install ever and I like it better than my ASM70mm.

^ Very nice as well!! Not sure how being a dual will affect the sound, but I love the sound of the resonated on my single! Nice buy!

If you have any problems with the Helmholtz resonator coming in contact with the car, a simple hanger bushing switch will solve the problem.

I ran into that with mine, but hopefully it won't be a problem with your dual.


How do you like it so far?

I like it! Only have like 3 miles on it..so I can still smell the material burning off. I really wanted the AMUSE single, but I wanted something quiet.
This exhaust has about the same sound level as the ASM70mm.

Problem I have is the exhaust does not sit even, so I am assuming this is something with the hangers?

Could be, I wound up using the 3 hole / triangular shaped hangers (like the ones over the muffler from the factory) on all of the hanger locations, rather than just the rear ones. You might experiment with different hangers to see if it makes a difference for you.

If the factory hangers seem too soft, you could always try the J's hangers.

If the exhaust is uneven, just get some Hose Clamps, wrap them around the rubber hangar, and "squeeze" the hangars to raise the side that needs raising. This is assuming that you're having issues with the vertical alignment of your mufflers. I had to do this on my Greddy SE.

I think the passwordjdm or apr canards would work the easiest. I had to do some cutting on my CS canards and build up the fiberglass on my bumper where the canards mount to make these fit. This picture was taking in murfreesboro TN about 2.5 weeks ago, i saw you were from there.
Off topic I know, but I have a strange love affair with Super Advans!! I feel like I'm cheating on my RZs while lusting over them though!

Anyway, nice rims man!

On a more serious note, is anyone familiar with the Amuse Ti straight pipe advertised on BP's website? I'm wondering if this is essentially a test pipe with flanges, and a O2 bung like usual, or if it is simply a straight section of Ti meant to be modified, and installed by a Ti welder?

Any insight will be appreciated.

Just answered my own question!! Now I want one!

Hey Mason, if you ever want to swap out exhausts for the Amuse non-resonated 60mm single let me know. I originally wanted the resonated version but received the other version instead. Not that I'm complaining, but the price of a these has gone up so buying a new one and selling my old one might not benefit me as well as just swapping with someone that has a resonated version.

Jeremy, what color is the body and tail on yours? As loud as they are, I almost wish I went with the R1000 now that I'm thinking of boosting.
