Do you want one? Single or the Dual? (dual only has Ti canisters)

I'm looking into getting a dual Ti exhaust. Any info on how it sounds compared to the others, ie Amuse dual Ti? and how it looks from the back. Does it stick out far, is it angled like the tanabe? Thanks.
Also is it full titanium like the amuse?
Its priced alot better than the amuse

I'm heavily interested in a Titanium exhaust, but my question is, will it make our car sound like a frickin Civic running a bunch of fart cannons? I've heard a few of the Titanium exhausts out there and i'm not impressed with how it makes our cars sound. I know these exhausts are mega expensive, but the one I heard(Veil???) made it sound terrible. I'm not interested in running around town with a car that sounds like it's farting.

As far as i know, only the dual set up is available as of now. That one only has stainless piping and Ti canisters. You really cant bend Ti, especially at 90 degrees. The ARC and Amuse one use a wierd bend to achive this. I dont think the dual flows as well because if this.

The single JIC Ti should be available the first of the year. The first prototype did not fit US cars. Im currently waiting for the next test piece to get here mid december. Unfortunately, the issue with the docks and teh fact that JIC recently opened a new exhaust facility has slowed the process down even more.

As far as sound goes, i heard a single Ti on a Rsx and was blown away. Our cars wil sound very similar. Loud for sure, but an amazing loud, very much like the Spoon exhaust, but i think it flows better. The spoon for some reason pulsates while this one doesnt. SOund nothing like the Veilside which is the cheap version of Ti. Also come s with a silencer for the weak of heart

Cool Sherwin, please keep us updated on when you get it installed. The sound of the single exhaust is ok by me as long as it doesn't sound like a civic fart pipe. The only reason I wanted dual was because it looks so much better, but now I'm seriously considering single Ti. I'll wait till you get yours and maybe come by your shop to hear your exhaust before I make my final decision.

When the final version is ready, can you post some video's or sound clips? I'm definately interested as long as it sounds nothing like the Veilside Ti, or heaven forbid, a riced out Civic.............

Yeah...I ordered my dual titanium exhaust about 3 months ago...and they finally got 1 set in...it was the only one that came in for the sema show in vegas, but after that...I was able to pick it up. only the mufflers are titanium...the piping are stainless steel. thats about the only problem with it, but otherwise ITS AWESOME. I'm not quite so sure how loud the AMUSE is, but on the JIC...IT IS EXTREMELY LOUD!!! I wasn't able to stand it so i decided to put the silencer back on. I will try to post some up comming pics...oh yeah...I also picked up a set of carbon fiber strut bar from them the s2k. I'll try to get that up too!
