Thumbs up Amuse vs Mugen headers

After some shopping around, I've found out that the Mugen and Amuse headers are the same price (more or less).

When looking at the two, the design seems very similar.

I've foud that the amuse weighs only 10lbs, does anyone know the weight of the Mugen?

If they are the same weight, same design and same price why aren't there more amuse header owners out there? If there are please post your reviews.

Oh also, is the amuse header Ti?

Price: (Bulletproof) Amuse = $1,464.00
Mugen = $1,235.00

Weight: Amuse = 10lb TOTAL Weight
Mugen = 10lb lighter than stock

This is discussed on another thread regarding combinations of header exhaust.

Actually, the prices I have are:

Amuse $1280
Mugen $1300

And I've been using the search fuction, there is very limited info about the Amuse Header out there. In almost an hour of searching I only found I person who had one.

The performance is similar, but the Amuse weighs roughly 4lbs lighter.

The F20c Amuse header is not titanium, it's stainless steel. Only their catback/headerback exhaust systems are titanium.

No!

The Amuse R1 Header is a copy of the mugen and IT IS titanium.

OF course the performance is similar, since amuse wanted to make a copy of the Mugen header, but the Amuse is lighter.
