To my knowledge, currently there are not any sound clips of the R1 Extra for the Z34. Hopefully soon
I hope so, because I'm looking to make my purchase soon, and this is a sic looking exhaust. Better hurry though, I might go with the Berk when it is available. :icon17:

Based on what I have Amuse represents some of the best in quality construction, weight savings, power gains, and longevity/reliability.

There are a few videos on Youtube of the R1 Extra on the G37.

Please PM me if you are interested.

Any word on the Amuse body kit or other lightweight parts? I wish they would make a real spoiler in carbon fiber, similar to Mines, but actually replace the entire spoiler versus using the screws.

Amuse is usually pretty good about keeping things under the radar. More than likely we won't know about any products until after a majority of the R&D has been completed.

Rest assured, once we know something, we will ensure that the members of this community will know something.

Franky I can't imagine buying anything that Amuze sells, they are so overpriced.

Amuse recently released a titanium front pipe for the Z34.

The Y-pipe comes from Amuse without a gradation finish. In case someone is unaware, titanium naturally develops a blue hue overtime as it heats up and cools down.

Here are a few pics of a Y-pipe for a Z33 that one of our clients purchased a while back. Notice the development of a blue hue over time.

Click here for more info.

Steel prices are anywhere from $650-$800 per ton wholesale. The spot price for titanium is a bit over $1100 per ounce. Most titanium alloys are about 80-90% pure, so I wouldn't say it's over priced. Considering the base metal prices, I'd say your average steel exhaust is over priced.

Despite their beautiful finishes and workmanship I would say that they aren't worth the premium unless you're putting together a true show car or a finely tuned race car where every pound will count.

The titanium exhaust I can understand, but how do you explain their HFC's that appear to be SS? They are 4 times the price of the Stillen and Berk parts!

The price for the HFC also includes the cost of a front pipe. It is a "package deal" from Amuse :happydance:

Ah ok, that's better. Should probably word the description on the web site a little better, it's a little vague. In the picture you see a piece of straight pipe in the background so initially you can't even identify it. ;)

I think it is possible. Amuse offers very exclusive options in order to make their products more distinct.

We are considering stocking the Amuse front pipe and HFC.

For the rear section exhaust we probably won't stock it; only reason for this is because there are different gradation finishes/designs that you can choose from when you order. This means that every exhaust is going to be subtly different and unique in its own way. We might stock an exhaust with a gradation finish that no one wants.

This is why for now we are sticking to "special order only". If enough people order an Amuse exhaust we will consider stocking one, especially if a majority of the orders share similarities in gradation finishes.

If we do stock an Amuse exhaust, how many more people would be interested in buying one?

Endgame 05-22-2009 02:45 PM
Well, I am interested, but I doubt others will want the finish I will be going for... I don't even know for certain what I want!!

Excuse my ignorance, but I am interested in the finish where the entire tip is blue with a purple hue. The tips I am interested in are different however. I can send you pics if you like.

On another note: Going back to the power claims on this exhaust. Amuse claims a 21 HP increase.

1. Was this dyno done with JUST the rear section of the exhaust or with their Y Pipe also?
2. Do we know the torque gains?
3. I just noticed that Amuse used a 7AT car! WOW! I wonder why they opted for that over the MT....

The R1-Extra is 1.15kg, roughly 2lbs, lighter than the RS-Silent.

Currently we do not have any dynographs for the R1-Extra. Based on the form and design of each exhaust, I think it is safe to say that out of the box, the R1-Extra probably provides a little bit more back pressure and less weight; the RS-Silent has more potential for more power gains with other mods.

With the R1-Extra, when you order the exhaust, for an additional $200 you can upgrade the two 50mm piping to two 60mm piping. This option helps the R1-Extra with its potential for more horsepower gains with other mods.

Once we receive dyno charts from Amuse for the R1-Extra we will be posting those everywhere so keep checking back on our website and threads for updates.



This tip design is going to be standard on all Z34 Amuse exhausts for 2009 and the gold ring option is available for those that would like it :tup: .
Are u talking about the R1 extra here or the RS Silent? Because you are saying that we can increase the two piping diameters from 50mm to 60mm but the R1 Extra only has one mid pipe before going into the mufflers. And also u say that the RS Silent has the potential for more power with other mods where as the R1 provides more backpressure...then u say the R1 extra has the potential for more power with other mods once the two pipings are upgraded??? Sorry for the confusion...trying to clear this up in my head. Which one can make more power?

Thank you for clarifying; I apologize for any confusion. It basically boils down to the options you go with. There are three options in terms of pipe designs that can determine the overall flow.

RS-Silent - most potential for more power due to design

R1-Extra-standard piping (dual 50mm) - great option for NA cars due to back pressure

R1-Extra-upgraded piping (60mm) - more potential than the standard R1-Extra for power

I hope this helps.

Endgame 05-27-2009 09:52 PM
Any updates on the tune? Was it done with or without the Y Pipe?

Do you think more power could be had from it with the Y pipe and tune?

Black kNight 05-28-2009 02:47 AM
so which one is better RS-silent or R1 extra (60mm) ??

Endgame 05-28-2009 08:17 AM
BlackKnight,

To my understanding, it depends on your goals. Due to the R1 having more backpressure, if you only plan on doing light mods (intake, exhaust, tune), the R1 is the better option.

If you plan on going FI, the RS Silent is the better option as it flows more. If you plan to get really radical with the NA mods, the R1 with the increase in diameter piping is the solution.

370Z Tune correct me if I am wrong.....

I believe more power could be had with this exhaust with the front pipe and tune. HFC might help as well.

We recently received the July issue of Option Magazine which shows a few of the processes and craftsmanship that goes into making an Amuse exhaust. Unfortunately it is all in Japanese so bare with me ;)

We recently received an MCR exhaust that we ordered for a Z33 client a few weeks back. Since this exhaust was produced by Nippon Steel, the same fabricators of Amuse exhaust, I thought it was fit to post. Please tell me what you think. Our usual camera ran out of battery so we had to resort to a less qualified camera :driving:
