AMUSE R1000 exhaust review
 

Hey guys,
I just installed R1000 exhaust from amuse.
This exhaust is single exit exhaust constructed using titanium.
It weighs roughly around 13lb.
When I was placing an order with AMUSE head office located in Tokyo, Japan, I was told that this exhaust is very loud and circuit use only.
However I kind of knew how loud this exhaust would be due to straight flow design, so proceeded ordering with them.
The delivery took exactly 14 days from the date of payment was made.
Today, I went to customs to clear my duties and taxes so that my shipment could be picked up from a warehouse located a block away from the customs.
I paid $1800 for the exhaust(including airfreight to Vancouver airport) + $150 for the duties and taxes(13% tax here in British Columbia) + $180 for the installation(charcoal filter had to be removed from its original location and then relocated to the center of the vehicle and this process required custom made bracket.. the guy at the shop literally created a state of art bracket).
Video clips will further explain what the exhaust is like..
The first clip is first start after installation.
The second clip is revving up to 4000rpm after properly warmed up.
The last clip is revving up to 5000rpm outdoor to get the actual loudness of the exhaust.
My camera is kind of crappy for taking videos..
This exhaust sounds very unique, somewhat exotic AND LOUD.
AND THE BUILD QUALITY IS FLAWLESS... COMING FROM A RX-8 OWNER, I HAD RE-AMEMIYA PRODUCTS ON MY OLD CAR, THEIR PRODUCTS ARE FLAWLESS, BUT THIS ONE IS EVEN BETTER!!
Please enjoy and tell me your opinions :tiphat:

rep for you! one of a kind exhaust!

now we need a WOT drive by

Damn sure seems loud. Really unique sounding. It almost reminds me of a Duramax diesel at points. Sounds good!

detailed pics please

added photos. Thanks for your interest

Really nice! Good luck with it.

Do you have plans for the back bumper at all?

It's nice to see someone go against the grain.

sweet nice choice, save a bunch of weight

That's sounds real nasty..... I like it! Puts me in mind of the Meistershaft exhaust.
Who did your install?

Sounds like Honda Ricer... total fail

Sorry dude... waste of money if you ask me. And also, what do you plan on doing with the rear bumper... or are you going to just leave the other hole empty?

I'm gonna be slightly biased here but I like my R1 Extra a tad more, the R1000 is too raspy for me. Cool deal that Amuse got it out in 2 weeks though! :tup: Good deal, enjoy the exhaust! Definitely gonna be one of the rarer setups around.

WOW man, that sounds awesome!

This is the definition of race inspired. I really like this. Thank you OP!

Congratulation, Sounds amazing. Definitely one of a kind.

I'm going single at some point, But it's really hard for me to do it after the amazing F.I. exhaust.

+1

shits loud....lol..... nice!


Gonna bondo out the left side exhaust cut out?

Wow somebody finally pulled the trigger on the R1000 huh. Great sounding exhaust, must respect!

oh well people have different opinions and tastes.
I'm just going to leave the other hole empty, I only care about performance and drivability, NOT LOOK.
Thanks for your feedback

i dont know about true dual looking better single. for me after seeing Alex's single in real life, i kinda like it. It looks better than stock.

single sounds amazing but you have to get a new custom rear bumper or fix your stock ones. Because rear bumper is what killing your exhaust right now.

thread ressurection... any dyno gains?

Im surprised so many people liked it.. I think if it was a civic and wasnt an amuse exhaust and it sounded exactly the same you guys wouldnt have the same opinion lol.

:tup:

that outside sound clip does sound extremely raspy....the indoors one sound good, outdoors one is borderline.

I'm down with that!

It does sound like a ricer however I wouldn't call it a "waste of money". I just don't see where a comment like that comes into play, he wanted it, he bought it, and he likes it so it was worth it.

I do agree with DIASHI, his comment did make a lot of sense.

i like it..any specs on the piping diameters??

nvrmind...looks like a 80mm pipe.

Nice can't wait for a WOT video :)

Hmm. Needs a resonator somewhere, otherwise, sounds good. Dynos? Any evidence of gains?

I was thinking the same :tup:

I haven't had chance to put my car on a dyno YET.
However, is it possible to install a resonator in an exhaust?

soo sick

Everything is possible.

curious on how it would sound with ART pipes, i might take that rasp away... I am debating this exhaust or the Tomei
