And while we're on this topic I'd like to add "how do you find an exhaust that doesnt suck?"
To clarify, these exhausts dont have any kind of warranty and you cant tell how crazy loud they are before you actually mount it to your car. So how in the heck does one go about getting an exhaust that is durable, and doesnt sound like it really belongs on an F1 car???
I am not trying to hijack your thread racezx9, I would just like to widen the scope.
Oh and before anybody gets wise ass and points to http://s2000library.com/, those sounds are worthless unless they are in Dolby surround with a reccomended amplifier decibel level for calibration so they can be heard at the exact same level for comparison....

In order to get a noticeable 10-15hp with an exhaust for the S. You will have to go single ( J's T1r 63mm or 70mm). The aftermarket duals on the market will mainly give you a more aggressive sound ( ricey and/or throaty) and a tad in the mid range and weight reduction. The HKS is one of the best sounding dual exhaust for the S. I just transitioned from the HKS to the single T1r 70mm. The sound is deeper and much more throaty not to mention the HP gain that you can actually feel. Just my two cents...

Most owners have a biased opinion of their purchases, so their "evaluation" often ends up being a justification. Sound is mostly subjective anyway, so one man's (or woman's) "sounds great" could be another's "drones constantly and sounds like a bumblebee swarm".

My problem with most aftermarket S2000 exhausts is that they are either loud as hell with a measurable gain or sound good but slightly louder than stock with no hp gain. I guess you have to make sacrifices.
Kraemer brings up a good point about the online sound clips being worthless. You can tell how they sound but not how loud they are or if they drone.
If possible, I would try to ride in as many cars with different exhausts as possible before making a buying decision. You may also want to ask to drive the car instead of riding shotgun. For some strange reason, the drone of my exhaust isn't quite as noticeable from the passengers seat as it is from the drivers seat.
The only exhaust that I have heard that sounds good, isn't loud, may add a few hp and is fairly lightweight is the Mugen.

Mark just took his exhaust off and drove around with it for a couple of weeks. It was actually less noisy than his invidia exhaust. If that is the case, why not just get a cheap single "pipe" and not waste the cash on an expensive single exhaust that doesnt actually reduce the noise?
