Need some input with my decision
 
1 Attachment(s)
I was trying to sell my amuse R1000 exhaust on 370z forum a while ago.

Finally, someone REALLY wants to buy it.

I want to ask you guys since I'm sure quite a few of you guys might have heard

me going down the street around Vancouver and Richmond area...

Not sure if I should let it go... I love the sound of the exhaust once it is above

2000rpm, below that, not so much...

Plus, I hate the waking up the entire neighborhood part at 4 am after poker

night at my friend's house.

here's one video with the exhaust on...


skip to 30 seconds for those of you without patience. :D

Thanks in advance for your input. :thumbsup:

in the video, i kept waiting and saw that golf cart and was like, WTF?

then saw the Z flying down.. sounds nice, but its loud... if you havent had any complaints, keep it

jstn86 11-28-2010 06:20 AM

/end of discussion

boatcaptain 11-28-2010 08:00 AM

i think u shud keep it!

TOPEC 11-28-2010 08:36 AM

i think i might have seen ur car at blenz before, if so, ur car is obnoxiously LOUD.

Energy 11-28-2010 09:19 AM

I love Amuse but that's really loud. Silencer?

tofu1413 11-28-2010 09:51 AM

add silencer, keep it.


one quality exhaust and it sounds awesome.

versep 11-28-2010 09:56 AM

amuse titans are my favorite line of exhausts on the z cars, keep it!

hk20000 11-28-2010 10:35 AM

how much do you want the cash? If not really needing it then just keep it. Your neighbors ain't complaining = no problem.

jpark 11-28-2010 10:36 AM

keep it plzz

jing 11-28-2010 10:53 AM


Better video/sound quality in this one :troll:

jdmhaze 11-28-2010 11:00 AM

Shoulda made this decision a while ago, when you first wanted to sell it. Now that "FINALLY" there's an interested buyer you dont know what to do? Fuck that shits annoying.

It sounds good though. I'd keep it.

dark0821 11-28-2010 11:06 AM

LOL @ 124Y's EVO for the 2nd video =D
yes.. wiping the mirror is that important...

reminds me of our working days.. where we will just stand in the parkin lot...
wait for customers while wiping down our cars with a damp cloth for 8 hours =.=

Redlines_Daily 11-28-2010 11:24 AM

haha, this exhaust is so loud. I remember a cop pulled up behind us one time at horseshoe bay, Akuma had to stuff his shoe into his exhaust to silence the sound when he started up. I say keep it, sounds mean. You live in a condo, neighbors can't hear you!

MindBomber 11-28-2010 11:29 AM

It sounds fantastic, definitely one of the best sounding exhausts I have ever heard.
If I were in your position I'd keep it, but if being nervous about waking up neighbors affects your enjoyment of the car, switch it out for something quieter.

AKUMA_Z 11-28-2010 01:41 PM

I definitely love the sound of exhaust.

Many people suggested putting silencer,
however I was told by amuse that use of silencer is strongly not recommended as the material of the exhaust is 100% titanium while the material of most of the silencers are something else. Therefore, they have different thermal expanding characteristic that might cause the silencer to expand more while titanium barely expand, cracking the exhaust (amuse said).

I'm leaning towards keeping it now since everyone says "keep it"

lol

maybe some more input please?

Thanks everyone.

I had the exhaust up for sale since summer and noone really was interested since most of Z owners are RICERS that care about the LOOK of their car (knowing that this exhaust is single exit).
so I decided to put it back on, then someone wants to buy it.
I'm thinking if it is worth the hassel to take it off and sell it lol

124Y 11-28-2010 01:53 PM

lol I thought you sold it already :lol
If I were you, I would get something a lil more DD-friendly since you DD your car.
But that's just me... I want my car to be a lil stealthy. ;)

Jackygor 11-28-2010 01:59 PM

The question is, what are you getting if you were to sell this? Nothing beats this single exit piece in terms of performance and sound though.

drunkrussian 11-28-2010 02:46 PM

if ur a bit annoyed now, in a year u wont be able to stand it. so if its really so hard to find a buyer then sell it i guess. i dunno what ur really looking for with this thread lol

so let me get this straight:

you didnt like the exhaust a year ago and put it up for sale.
you finally find a buyer and still are not completely satisfied with the exhaust.
Now you dont know if you should sell it?
If I were the buyer i would give you a big fuuu

finding buyers for used parts if very hit and miss. Don't waste this opportunity to get an exhaust that really suits your needs. Sell this and get something that is quieter or risk putting up with this for years to come/having to give it away for cheap once its outdated and you cant stand it anymore.

No offence, but I think most Z owners aren't ricers; they're just smart not to drop $2000 on an exhaust.

I think most Z owners are ricers, BECAUSE
1. most of them don't have balls to actually race their cars in any form of race such as drag race, circuit race, autoX.
2. bodykit + stickers
3. blacked out headlight and taillights + LED's

not saying all of them are... but quite a lot of them are....

and I dropped $1800 into the exhaust just because I had extra cash in my hand back when I bought it... and I don't regret spending that money as I enjoyed it and I'm selling it for right price now.

Thanks for your input :thumbsup:
