There has been some threads posted up about this. Try a "search" and you'll see them. I recall someone with a Toda header did a dyno and showed absolutely no significant gain. However, someone with F.I. and a Toda showed stunning gains but the circumstances behind that may have been skewed.
I'm not sure if anything has been posted about the Amuse.

Toda dynoes haven't been consistant thus far.
Amuse, however, is of the exact same design as the Mugen with slightly different piping diameters. The Mugen piece has shown very consistant gains, just like Mugen claimed, so I'd expect roughly the same gains from the Amuse.

The Toda piece is having recurring problems with brackets failing and Toda absolving themselves of all responsibility.
We dropped the motor on a N/A Toda equipped car over the weekend and waddaya know...busted bracket.
I have no dyno info to share.

I have no data on the Amuse header, other than it's on some of the fastest S2000's in Japan.
The Mugen is a nice piece, robbing a little off peak HP with gains all over the rpm spread, giving significant boosts in the mid range.
The Toda if I'm not mistaken was UL (ultimate lurker's) choice since he was running the Mugen for some time. There has to be a pretty good reason for his choice, however looking at the design of the header, I'd think there'd be a little more noise due to the thin walls of the tubes. The Mugen is a beautifiul piece and that heatshield makes it look almost stock.
