JIC Magic definitely makes one of the better y pipes for our cars.

 

How the performance on the Amuse exhaust? All I ever hear about it is that it looks and sounds good, but no one ever talks about its performance, lol. I would think that with that price tag, you'd get a decent amount of hp out of it.

 

I wouldn't really consider it a replica as replicas are usually a cheap version of the original. the exotic speed has very good craftsmanship, welds and fitment. they use a similar design which the company also uses on its exhaust made for all sorts of other cars. This exhaust is made of stainless steal and the mufflers, mid-pipe resonator, and tips are titanium. Only thing about it that bothers me is how dramatic the bend is which goes to the first muffler. You can see how much smoother the bend is on the real amuse.

I paired this exhaust with the motordyne XYZ pipe+resonator and I love it. not too too loud but a very nice low sound to it.

 

It's relatively cheap at less than half the cost. That's a typical stereotype of replicas that does not always hold true, as you've shown (said).

It may not be an exact replica (I was using that term loosely), but there's no question that the ExoticSpeed is directly influenced by the Amuse. Hence the similarity in name...

 

viceversa do you have any sound clips of the exotic speed exhaust with the motordyne XYZ pipe+resonator?

 

Not yet. I plan on doing a full review once we stop getting such ****ty weather over here on the east coast

 

I agree.

To the people who have this exhaust, dyno it and tell us if it makes power with that 4k price tag.

 

sweet, thanks

 

yes, it makes power, about average gains for an exhaust imo. But most people buy the Amuse for looks, sound, and exclusivity, not for $/hp.

 

Exactly.

PS - either I haven't been hanging around the tech area much lately (which I haven't), or you've been MIA. How's the ride coming along?

 

Yea, I've been lurking round lately. The car's great (a lil idle issue to work out)--but running strong. It's parked now though (had to take off the Volk's and put on the winter set)--Most likely will not see much of any driving until the spring.

 

I thought so, thanks.

 

the JIC y-pipe from first hand experience is one of the best for your cars. I had a full jic magic spartan exhaust. C aka calvin can tell you how loud and mean that ish sounded. i think i spend a total of under 1500 for that exhaust and it sounded bad *** for a full cat-back. but if you got 4 to 6k to spend on a full exhaust from amuse meaning muffler mid-pipe y-pipe & cat delete go for it. post sound clips and review

 

the amuse isnt going to give you much of HP gain as you would expect for its price, HP gains will be about the same as the HKS or FI, now the Amuse does look very good and is ultra light. When i changed out the exhaust system (Ypipe back) i could easily break my rear end loose with out any doubt. Plus the amuse is just badass priod.

Its funny though where i live is pretty much rednecks and wiggers, they all always question why my tips are painted like that or ask me why my exhaust gets so hot lol.

 

maybe they think it's illegal.
