40lbs is a big deal in my mind. Why keep weight on the car that you can get rid of. I'm not about to put out the money for the Amuse so it looks like it's going to be a mugen unless the new Veilside is pretty light weight.

After an exhaustive examination of the different exhausts out there I've decided to keep the stock one....if only the spugen exhaust (2 cans) was 10-20 lbs lighter....

here's a list (although not comprehensive) for the JIC products - one of which is the single full Ti exhaust for $1,100 - definately cheaper than the Amuse.

Mild steel cat-back straight pipe is ~10lbs and costs less than $100. A bit loud tho
