Default Amuse r1000 or j's racing 70rr

hey guys i wanted to hear your guys opinion on these exhausts because im torn between these two. i love the dolphin tip and the sound of the j's racing but also like the quality, craftsmanship, and sound of the amuse. also i know these are headersback but would a cel fix work with these?

thanks

CEL fix yes. As far as I know both have a 02 bung, you'll just need the simulator.

For the exhaust get what you want and like. Obviously price isn't an issue so don't regret getting one over the other because of what we suggest. Another thing to consider is wait times. Does anyone have either of these in stock? (the J's probably will be somewhere but the amuse might not.)

you can make a o2 fix easy with spark plug foulers. and i would probley go with j's cause its more available and cheaper. just place a WTB post asking for a 70rr at a decent price and im sure you can find someone to sell it to you.

Why discount other 70mm Ti exhausts (besides the header back aspecet)? Lite-Spec, T1R, JIC etc. Heck Lite-Spec is even made in the USA.

Lite-spec is known to have crappy craftsmanship. Not sure how true it really is but it's well stated. Ask if they have fixed the problem. JIC is ungodly loud. The T1R is a nice piece in my opinion but there have been a few problems. Same with the J's too, check out the rattle threads with the media inside the muffler. If I was in the market like you are I'd personally get a stainless 70mm J's but I prefer stainless exhaust.
