Other than the j's, the amuse is an awesome header. I plan on going FI in a year or two, so im not going to use the amuse because i am not sure if the titanium header will hold up for the FI extra power. I know the amuse exhaust have broken with SOME FI applications.

You live in CA, so a header is illegal. I would look into the Mugen. Good midrange gains, and the best part is it comes with heat shields to make it look stock. So if you have to pop your hood, nobodys the wiser.

Here we go ... Got the search engine to work by searching on topic only instead of the entire body of the post.

The dynos are of a car with a Mugen Intake, Mugen Header, and T1R 63 header back exhaust (63mm) - 210.4whp
vs.
Mugen Intake, J's Racing Header, and T1R 63 header back exhaust (63mm) - 218.3whp ...
So in terms of peak gains, the J's Racing header dyno'ed 8whp more than a Mugen header.
I guess in my head I thought the Mugen header provided some peak gains, so 8whp over the Mugen header meant at least 10whp over stock, but I did some reading and it seems like the Mugen provides mostly mid-range gains and loses some on the top end. So compared to stock, the J's Racing header may not even provide 8whp. Still pretty impressive since the J's Racing header is also ahead of the Mugen header in the lower rpms. Check the link for the dyno graphs...

The Amuse header is not titanium and the only Amuse part I've heard of anyone breaking with FI is a R1 Extra Titan exhaust and that was with a non-stock blower pulley.

i think your wrong. Amuse's claim to fame is there light weight exhaust systems. The light titanium construction is their signature, and btw...their header for the s2000 should still be lightest header on the market. It can't be anything else but titanium.
It would be on my car if it wasn't so damn cold.
