Default Amuse or Mugen

Hello guys... Its time to help a poor guy who is relly freaking out...

I am going to start tunning my 2005 s2000 (European model f20c)
So here is the story.

I want to buy an exhasut(duals)+header+cai+coilovers

after reading the millions of topics available i have ended to either mugen or Amuse... I have READ!!! all the topics posted... so plz dont tell me that search is my friend etc...


Questions:
1) amuse dual r1 titans rattle??? if yes...
2)Mugen axhausts 04+ no power gain right??
3)which exhaust produces better sound quality?? louder is not a problem since both are resonable and i am still young
4)Suspension I live in greece.. so roads are totaly which suspension is better for rougher roads? NZ coilovers cost the same as mugen NZ

And a Wheel question
1) on what wheels can i fit amuse r1 brakes? do they fit on Advan RGII? (offset size etc..)


Thanks already

Mugen exhaust: no power gains that I know off
Amuse exhaust: better looks, better sound, better power, more money, shouldnt rattle. Gets my vote!
Suspension: It's hard to stay soft and still move in a handling-improvement direction. Maybe consider some good springs and adjustable Koni shocks. I cant comment on the NZs.

Who makes the Amuse brakes? Assuming they are similar in size to the Project Mu, Endless, Stoptech, Brembo, etc... You will need to run some "special" RGIIs. Otherwise some +44 offset 7.5'' wide Prodrive GC07s. You can make any wheel work given the tire size, camber, fender rolling, drop, etc.

If you are interested, I have some Advan RGII for sale brand new that were ordered to clear my Stoptech BBK. I went with a different setup before even taking these out of the box. PM me if interested.

Amuse exhaust for sure. Mugen parts seem mainly for show and bragging-rights (not hating, that is exactly what some people are looking to get out of their mods).

Let me put it this way:

Amuse=hardcore tuner with maximum gains
Mugen=bling baller expensive high quality parts that perform 0.05% beter than stock but look good

Do you wanna look good or look good and go faster?
