Well, if its not too loud I might be open to trying it out. I like the character of the stock exhaust, just wanted it to be a little bit more agressive in the lower rpms, which from what I read, the mugen would sound like. I liked the tone of the Invidia, but didn't think it really fit my car, for what I wanted it to sound like. I do like the amuse system, and would be open to trying it out. Anyone know what the real difference is in power and weight between it an the Mugen? I thought that in dual exhausts, the difference is going to be marginal, especially between two quality pieces such as these.

How much power is this Amuse/Mugen setup supposed to make with proper tuning. As stated before, the Mugen setup is good for about 15 peak HP, but a ton in the midrange, and you gain a bunch under the curve.

Edit: the Amuse setup I would be referring to would be the duals, single exhaust is out of the question for me.

How do you feel that the setup is working out for you? Is there a noticeable difference in driving? One other thing you might do is use the Mugen coilovers. They are pricey, but do a lot for handling. Mugen also makes nice wheels, but I would not be able to justify spending more for them than the lighter volk CE28n or LE28n.

So far all is sweet, besides the annoying handling, I guess you are right, that should be my next agenda... Coilover... thanks and a set of new wheels would be nice hoping all made will come from mugen, is it possible to get a high comp piston with all mod that I have done?

Hey guys im new , thought this may be of some interest to you guys.

http://www.autospeed.com/cms/A_0911/article.html

This guy managed to get a lot out of a well tuned MoTeC, (thats Ozzy for power).

And just like to remind ppl that different dyno's give different power outputs so its much better to make comparisons
in percentages to stock and etc.

I agree with that. I have never heard of a dyno figure of 152 hp at the wheels. The improved numbers that they give would agree with a car with those mods, just not the gains. Exhaust and ecu for a 27% increase in power my ass!
