The S2ki search function is a mess so it's rather difficult to do research on the optimum (lightest, best gains, etc) racing exhaust that's still usable on the streets (CA). Do you guys have any recommendations? I was considering a headerback such as the Amuse R1000 but with the noise and catless setup, the car wouldn't last very long on the streets.

so you think soompi is the next best place?

Only exhausts worth getting is the the Amuse r1 and J's Racing 60RS

[r4nd0m4zn]

I've been browsing around the forum periodically and noticed that some people really know what they're doing. I wouldn't say Soompi is the next best place since I'm searching through several forums but it is among my list of sources. Amuse and J's exhausts are hands down some of the best systems but the car but it's hard to justify paying $2000 for a catback. What do you guys think of the exhausts from T1R, Spugen, Veilside, Top Secret, etc?

For the quality stuff, go for Amuse and J's, however, if you want something decent, T1R 70M single exit exhaust with a test pipe is the best bet. The T1R can run you anywhere from 1000 to 1,500 depending on the metal you choose. I would go for the Titanium which only weighs 10lbs versus the stock which weighs around 55lbs.

The Amuse and J are great however $2,000 for a minimal gains is hardly worth it, but you definitely do get the weight savings and the "JDM bling." I personally think those exhaust on the S2000 don't sound good at all except for the Amuse R1 Titan. Lots of droning. Being in the S2Ki forum, I've seen some problems for the Amuse exhaust hangar quality built.

I personally went with the HKS Hi-Power with an Invidia test pipe. Best sounding exhaust for the S2k. No drone just deep and raspy note.
I recommend getting a test pipe if you can. Where I live doesn't have emission test

If you don't like drone like me then you should look into the Fujitsubo, it's only a few db louder than stock.

exhaust is exhaust...get a ebay exhaust (just kidding)

dont bother unless its j's, amuse, asm, or at the end of the spectrum t1r. all exhausts are not created equal. hell the hks has lost power on some s2k's, best case you gain maybe 1hp. i dont see the point in spending the money on an exhaust like that. oh and get the single exit, saves weight and a 4 cylinder should only have one muffler. save the money and get the nicest stuff, you'll be happier in the end. imo its better to haver fewer quality products than a lot of inferior products

I agree entirely. The best single outlet exhausts are the way to go. I'm currently debating between the J's 60RS and the T1R 70RT. I do play to go f/i in time so the larger piping of the T1R would probably prove to be beneficial after a tune if not immediately. I'd love to run the J's 70RR (it's actually $2 cheaper on Evasive) but I'm rather hesitant. Which system do you recommend?

personally i would go with the j's 70 rr and keep the stock system to swap out for smog. however if noise is an issue i'd get the 70mm asm exhaust, its not nearly as loud. although the j's 70rr isnt too bad just crusing around town, but at WOT its really loud

ss asm exhaust

or if you are really baller

titanium asm exhaust

I'm rather concerned about being pulled over (which is rather likely considering the exhaust) and caught without a cat. The penalty is rediculous. Out of curiosity, would you recommend a turbo or a s/c? I usually autox and run mountain roads but I do track twice or so a year.

Ok I just realized that there's a 70RS model: http://www.bulletproofautomotive.com/catal...ail.php?ID=4349. The 70RR is still rather convincing and it's about $200 cheaper so now it's down to the 70RR, 70RS, and ASM.

refer to my previous post which i edited since are you concered with noise. personally i like my s2000's n/a. build it up to a 2.3 and run itb's mmmm pure sex. however if you really want fi for your purposes i would go with a s/c. i much prefer track racing to auto x, so if i went fi with an s2k i would go turbo.

however if i had about the budget to go fi, i wouldnt. i would buy moton coilovers instead of going fi. it would make the car much better imo. i would go with j's intake/header/exhaust, moton coilovers, lightened flywheel, and a j's wing. that would make one fun s2000 for the track

Alright it's decided: 70RR. If it doesn't work out I'll just sell it on S2ki (paid membership isn't there for nothing) and buy a 70RS. I actually have a set of SSR Type-Cs arriving in a few days so I may take your advice on the Moton Coilovers. It's rather difficult to do research on coilovers on S2ki due to every other person condemning modifications of any kind to the stock suspension setup.

motons = god. however you have to know how to tune a 3 way adjustable coilover, otherwise they wont be nearly as good as they could be (dont worry its not too hard). motons are very expensive at around $5k but they are worth every penny. they blow just about any other coilover out of the water. if you are serious about auto x or track days they will be well worth the money. although if that is too much money for you, there are some other good coilovers at a lesser cost. kw v3 and j's coilovers are also good

here are two moton options.

two way adjustable club sport @ $4.3k

2, 3, or 4 way from $6k +

btw what size are the ssr? what tire size are you going to run? i used to have ssr's on one of my cars years ago, those are great wheels

I'm planning to run 255s all around on 17"s. I'm pretty set on ADVAN A048s at the moment. This is pretty random but is this your Miata in this video: http://www.gtchannel.com/content.php?cid=167? It's identical to the one in your banner.

good man 255's all around is the way to go. how wide are your wheels? and yes that is my miata

I purchased 9s all around. It was more of an impulsive buy so I'm still pretty skeptical about my purchase. My friend actually came on in the video a few seconds after you with his K20 MR2.

sounds good. i prefer to run a slightly wider wheel in back. on my rx7 i have 17x9 in front and 17x9.5 in the rear also running 255's all around

[TKY]

My friend has the amuse on his s2k and its very quiet and nice. Personally I would get the Veilside even tho its discontinued. Also to make use of the s2ki search function search it on google and it'll take you to the topic., thats what I do.

What wheels and tires are you running?
