Amuse Ericsson Ti Exhaust..Thx IND!

I installed this a couple of weeks ago.. Just got around to taking the pics now.. Thanks to Nate@IND for super fast shipping on this beautiful exhaust.. I bought the axle back version..

I can't really express in words how much louder than stock it is but it's somewhat loud to me (sorry I got no video capability).. If I'm not careful it can be "pull me over" loud.. A few of my friends has said they heard me coming from about 2-3 blocks away. As for drone, at first there was some moderate drone right at 2800 rpm but the exhaust must have broken in some over the 500 miles I've driven. The drone is now not very noticible.. I'm a little bit relieved about that.. It's loudest at ~2800RPM

The tone does sound terrific tho.. it's high pitched at high rpm but has a nice low V8 rumble to it at low rpms.. The exhaust has a rumble that makes people do a double take looking at your car ("this ain't no normal 3 series lol")..

Anyways.. here are some pics:

off with the stock! maybe a 25lb weight savings total?


My shop had to cut the stock x-pipe and weld a flange right where the resonators are.. Here is the Amuse right from the box.. A thing of beauty


Installed!


blue tips are easy to see!




you can't really see the bluing on the mufflers too well from the back I have an amuse rear bumper on order.. maybe it'll help?


My 350Z with an Amuse exhaust too except the blueing on the muffler is much more noticible from behind..

holy shit man! we need to meet up! I tried to do up my car with as much JDM products but I just couldnt manage it financially. With the current exchange rate being so bad, these pipes were just too pricey for me man. So i had to settle with an eisie. Loving it but it does not compare with the amuse pipes man. haha. but great choice. Simple and tasteful! Hopefully we could meet up and I could listen to it in person? Might just give me the push in getting them. haha. we'll see. you running just the mufflers or the full system?

Did you go to the last Cars & Coffee meet in Woburn? We can probably just catch the next one.. It's running the mufflers and what looks like a pair of resonators.. It's from the X-pipe back..

The Amuse exhaust sounds fantastic - one of the best sounding exhausts

JMD0977 has a brand new Ericsson exhaust for sale
