I just came back from my vacation and had not only 1 but 2 surprises at home, both my amuse y pipe and amuse brace bar arrived didn't know which one to open first like a kid on Christmas morning, bought the y pipe from a fellow forum member RedlineAZ, the y pipe was packaged perfectly, you would of though that amuse packaged it them selfs, special special thanks to RedlineAZ for shipping it out really fast and packaging it in a perfect way. My impression afer installing it this morning, didn't really get a chance to test it out all that much but this is what i have so far.

Looks: 10/10, its amuse, the welds are so clean and perfect, and i am told that the y pipe that i bought from RedlineAZ is pretty rare, because normally the amuse y pip is polished titanium, but this one has burnt edges as you can see in the pics, its a true shame that this has to stay hidden under the car.

Fitment: 10/10 again bolted on flawlessly, the install took around 20mins, thats counting the time that i put the car on the lift and waited for it to cool down etc.

Sound: 9.5/10, i only gave this 9.5/10 for two reasons, because it wont seem fair to give it a perfect score :P plus i did not have enough time to truly test it out yet. But from what i have seen till now, sound is absoloutly intoxicating, sounds very much exotic, my current set up as it stand now is FI long tube headers, Amuse y pipe, amuse STTI exhaust. A lot of people where telling me that its just a y pipe wont make much of a diff in sound, but in my head i did not agree with that because i was thinking to my self in order to get the true exhaust note, i must pare it with the amuse y pipe, and to my surprise i was right, the car sounds and feels 100% different with this y pipe, as oppose to the motordyne y pipe that i previously had on, although that set up sounded great and quality of it was good, none the less i knew that i wouldn't rest until i tried pairing the amuse exhaust and amuse y pipe together, the amuse exhaust was designed to be paired with the y pipe. At 3000 RPM once i step on the gas just a bit, the car just screams but at cruising speeds, you wont even know its there, just in love with this set up and can't wait to try it out more.

Weight: 10/10, it is light extremely light, you can seriously lift it with a finger, when i first installed the motorgyne y pipe, i thought that compared to the stock it was light, but now after removing the motordyne and comparing the weight of it with the amuse, i had another thing coming, seriously felt like i wasn't holding anything when holding the amuse Y pipe.

Over all i am extremely happy with this set up, couldn't be any happier, and im glad that i took the risk and investment and went with it. Like i mentioned above i also received the Amuse Brace bar as well, you can see pics of it next to the y pipe, i will take separate pics and do a write up on it as well including install pics, but again the quality of it is amazing and the finish of it and titanium burnt edges just makes you want to cry loool.
