Power gains = 0 (the only power "gain" you will get will be from losing 25lbs of weight by switching from OEM to Mugen)

Look = The best dual exhaust in my opinion. The only one that comes close is the Amuse Dual Titanium... but that is an extra $600!!!

Noise = Slightly louder than stock, and NO resonance in the car.


If you can afford it, get it. Sure you might get 4 more hp out of a single but it upsets the symmetry of the car and they are usually LOUD AS HELL!

I have the Mugen. Has the "classic" sports car sound. Very easy
to live with as a daily driver of over long distance. Non of the
boominess of drone of some of the others that I have heard.

But then thats a personal preference.

People love the "rainbow" of color on the tips.

Fit and finish, second to none!

if you love the "rainbow" of color on the tips...you will love the burnt tips of the Amuse exhaust.
Mugen is very classic while Amuse dual R1 is more on the sporty side.
I would have gone with Mugen if there isnt Amuse dual

The other one i was looking into was the Amuse R1 Dual. I heard those are loud suNzabishes though. The Full Titanium setup is hard to beat for looks though.

if money isnt an issue, then Amuse dual R1 might be the one...its louder than Mugen but nowhere close to the loudness of Amuse single...It looks the best among all the aftermarket dual exhausts though IMO
