I have the Amuse, I get a better throttle response. I've also heard from people that have the Dual R1 Exhaust, that mine is a little higher pitched probably due to the header.

But I mostly got it to have a matching header+exhaust. Plus it looks pretty.
Ohhh Ballin!

I don't have any engine bay pics, but Aaron has seen it along with a couple of others. My engine bay is rather blah looking.....for now.

I have the Mugen and i it. The car gains a bunch of midrange pull, and the Mugen dont crack, and best of all comes with a nifty heat shield to keep temps down and keep the header hidden from the local authories.
actually the mugen heatshield is know to crack as well.

to elaborate on the toda header cracking...the header itself does not crack (or at least I have not heard any stories about it...) the bracket that connects the header to the motor is know to break and fall off. I have no idea when mine broke but I have run the header for at least 5000 miles without any problems.

FYI the mugen and amuse are near identical in design & construction the biggest difference being the heatshield...Rick's new header also shares the same DNA

f20c the amuse headers will run you about $1500, give or take about $150.
