Pete, I have to say that these are one of the best looking systems around, mass produced or custom! You seem to visualize the end product real well.

Any boominess or droning at all?

Those look great. I'm patiently awaiting my dual Amuse . . .

Very nice!

It would be nice if Spugen or someone could weld and/or bend titanium tubing, and offer full ti cat-backs in single and dual.

The Vibrant Ti mufflers retail at $360 each, add in a few hundred for Ti tubing from someplace like http://www.burnsstainless.com/TitaniumTube...taniumtube.html and there would be an affordable alternative to Amuse, etc.

Pete has done the pioneering and found out that the muffs are high quality and sound nice, surely someone can step up to the plate and run with this and offer full ti setups...

Pete, did you get a chance to weigh the Ti muffler?

Duc at Spugen is also considering selling these mufflers. I agree that having full Ti piping is the way to go, as well. There are special considerations regarding the welding of Ti, and I don't think many places do that, but I hope that it is available soon!

That's around the price I paid for the mufflers, but I know that I was quoted higher prices by retailers, and almost all of the retailers that I spoke to, wouldn't even order the cans for me.

There are some issues with the sound, and I will post that info later in the day.

I know that you guys want to hear the sound clips, and I'm trying to get on that ASAP (but I've got a lot going on right now!).

I'm glad you guys are digging the muffs!!

-Pete

Sorry, bro- I didn't think to weigh the muffler.

All of the guys at Spugen (who are exhaust specialists) were passing around the muffler, and commenting on the weight. I'll try to get some feedback on that for you.
