Titanium Strut Bar Masterpiece

[phothrottle]

Ironically after arriving home from my trip from Japan and after more than a year waiting my Amuse R1 Titan Titanium Strut Bar has arrived. Amuse is known to produce some of the most beautiful exhaust systems on the market straight out of Japan and their strut bar is 🤌

$2k for a strut bar is a hard pass for me.

Actually it more than 2k now but understandable 2k is not for everyone's budget.

It’s a beautiful piece and the welds look amazing on it. Congrats

Dunno why yours took so long, I actually let a friend get a in-stock one but then I decided to get one also and ordered in 9/30/24 rec'd 11/29/24

What numbers is yours and your friends. The numbers Invision got was in the high 70's eventhough they ordered during tas last year. My exhaust arrived much sooner and both were ordered roughly the same time. Thanks for the info

Looks good but covers up that spoon reservoir sock. Also wouldn’t the ends end up scraping up some of the paint under them over time? Not that it matters. Just curious.

Yeah the benefit to $ ratio is way off. But looks good and his money.

Reminds me of the guy that bought a banana for 6.2 million.

The banana industry is revenue estimated at USD 142.35 billion in 2025 bet you didn't know that
Guy that bought banana is pretty smart i would have to say

I'm not sure what point you're trying to make here. The "banana industry" might be worth $142.35 billion, but that has nothing to do with a guy who literally paid $6.2 million for a banana duct-taped to a wall—only to eat it later.

My original comment was a response to your statement about a $2,000 strut bar not being within everyone's budget. The reference to the banana purchase was a way to highlight that just because you can buy something doesn’t mean you should.

I'm curious about actual weight and structural rigidity.

Titanium is stronger than aluminum ratio wise, but if you use the exact same amount of material for both, titanium is heavier. Can't find any measurements for the weight, but based purely on my eyeballing, I'll bet the 27won strut bar is basically the same.

Does look pretty neat though.

You can't put a price tag on what makes you happy. Odds are phothrottle writes off the car and trips as expenses because it's from the youtube channel that's probably 1099 under a LLC or holding company.
Yes strut a tower brace is stupid for a car with a very ridged chassis already. No matter if it's 200 or 2k. However not a big deal if it's making him happy.
