Simple as the topic... Titanium only

Anything less would be uncivilized.

Savvy ?

Amuse header is not Titanium, nor did they make one.

I would sell my Amuse header for the right price.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but Amuse just released this header. Check bulletproof's website. Retail's for 2600(1k+ over the SS version)

Lead time is 8-14 weeks, so we use the JDM calculator and that equates to 16-28 weeks for arrival.

So call bulletproof and buy it new, because no one on here is going to have a 2,500$ header for sale. Im surprised they made this to the public. I love my original one.

And, don't cry when it starts cracking on you. Titanium is known for cracking with high heat applications. Inconel is far superior.

Do I sense a little hostility for my taste in superior products?

Or is it jealousy?

BTW - I already talked to Bullettproof, but I figured since this is an international site that someone just might have it and save 6 months of waiting.

I own the amuse header and r1 exhaust as we speak, why would I be jealous of you that your gonna buy a titanium header that is just going to weigh slightly less than the normal amuse header.

I would ask you the same question.

First you post that there isn't one, nor will there be one. I am sure there are other owners without a clue, but I wouldn't start this thread if there wasn't one. In addition, for someone who "loves" their header, you were awfully quick to sell yours on my thread.

Second, you criticize me twice (again on my thread) for wanting to puchase this product in comparison to your own and also on paying the extra price for titlanium.

Why doesn' everyone buy a SS exhaust? Why doesn't everyone buy FRP instead of CF? Why doesn't everyone buy USDM vs JDM? Cost and benefit are not always clear cut and I certainly don't see anyone making recommendations to someone who has bought a ASM/Mugen/Amuse body kit that they were dumb and should have stuck w/ stock or bought replicas.

Amuse is a well proven and respected co. You obviously trusted them with your $$$, so why can't I trust them w/ mine? I doubt they would put their name on a generic product.

You are obviously entitled to your own opinion, but I would appreciate it if you wouldn't berate my choice in pproducts.
