What do you know about the spoon header...?? I'm not a big Spoon fan but if it makes significant power I'll consider it.

If the Amuse header mimics the Mugen design ... You'd basically get no real power gains. The Spoon design however shows strong consistent gains from mid to high end. Do a search on the forums, it's one of the most popular headers ... Regardless of whether you like it or not. And non of that BS linkage/weld breakings like the Toda header.
This isnt your first time posting a comment like this. Have you tried all these headers yourself? You cannot just judge them from what you heard and what you read.
I think AJ_PwR is the only person who tried out all three headers on his car, maybe he can teach you a thing or two.

From what I've seen the amuse doesn't look anything like the Mugen header (or any other header for that matter). It also has the advantage of being lighter. I kind of like the idea of a light heder as most of the weight we end up removing from our cars is usually from the rear half upseting our near perfect balance.

My bad, I got confused, they do look like the same design. I do agree the design is not as straight through as toda's but that would account for the difference between mid/top power gains. I find it strange that Toda claims top end gains from a 4-2-1 design, usually you want a 4-1 for top end. BTW does no one make a 4-1 for the S?

Xplosiv, any comment on the gains from the Amuse. Has the Toda been proven on a dyno to make more power than the Spoon and Mugen. If so, do you have any pictures of those dyno plots. I'd like to see which header is more appealing to me. Also if possible I'd like to see the dyno plots on MY04-05.
