Default Amuse dual?

Hey everyone. I'm looking into the Amuse Dual exhaust. I see that a few people are selling them. I've heard a lot of people say that they are the best dual exhaust you can buy. For about 2k it better be. Anyways, why are people selling it? Not enough power? Don't like the sound? Horrible bang for the buck?

I also hear that the resonators break. Two times I've heard of this I think. One was "Sideways" but that's to be expected withh 400+ hp.

My only other choice is the Amuse single but I think it'd be too loud and my girlfriend doesn't like the idea of not having a cat encase we get pulled over.

Is the Amuse Dual worth it?

there are also people selling their ferrari 360 modenas
doesn't mean they don't like them.
I think amuse dual is worth it if you really must have the "best" and money is not a factor.......otherwise there are other exhausts for less than half the price. Spugen is a decent exhaust with decent prices.

Resonator rattling is a common problem with Amuse exhausts with resonator. I know, I was one of them with a rattling resonator.

Instead of the Dual, I recommend the Amuse Single without Resonator. You still keep the cat and its not that loud. My fiancee actually doesn't mind the noise, she likes it and said that its not too much louder than the Amuse I had before with resonator.

Have they done anything to correct the problem? I'm on the fence as to wether or not I'm going to order it. For $2k I hope I wouldn't have a problem. I definitely want to stay with duals.

I have no clue what they have done to correct this problem. I have emailed Amuse with links to this forum everytime I read about someone having this unfortunate issue. They have never replied to me.

I've been told the HKS doesn't yield any performance, plus it has aluminum piping. I just can't bring myself to pay $800 for a piece that is prone to rust

Aluminum doesn't rust.

I've read that the spugen systems have been rusting and warping from heat??
