Default Amuse R1 vs. T1r 70R

So I just replaced my T1r 70R headerback exhaust and put an Amuse R1 single (non-resonated) with t1r testpipe on my S2000. I bought the Amuse because I wanted the light exhaust and wanted a little quieter exhaust.

My quick comparison after driving with the exhaust for an hour is that I miss the T1r. The T1r was not as loud, sounded better, and probably performed better. The Amuse looks hot though. With a stock cat back on the car, I am hoping that it isnt as loud.

We'll see how things go. I don't think that a 70mm is really necessary for an NA S2000. If I decide to go boost, Ill either go custom single or go back to a 70mm T1r. Until then, Ill just hope that the stock cat makes it a little less loud. I like the look of the Amuse muffler better and I never have liked the looks of rivets.

The Amuse is about 20 pounds lighter I believe. It is full Ti vs. Stainless.
