Great work...I love to see people keeping the S2000 alive! How are you liking the Invidia exhaust?

The exhaust? Its nice. Pretty quiet even when you get on it.

I think I still have to break it in but there's a really quiet raspy sound coming out of the driver side muffler at idle before the car is fully warmed up. I hope it goes away. Maybe only I can hear it, I'm just picky about those things haha.

I hope the noise goes away then....dont have any experience to give you adequate advice about it. Do you notice any exhaust drone on the freeway with the invidia? The stock exhaust definitely has one.

I've been driving the car a lot lately and I like the sound. Could be a little lower in pitch but at least its not raspy anymore.

I'll upload some video when I get some. Theres a pretty good YouTube video out there of the Q300:

I'd say this is like what I'm experiencing now.

Oh and:



While I was under the car, I noticed the rear tie bar has been bent as if the exhaust fell on it while it was still bolted on the drivers side. The beam of light actually makes it look like an illusion but I couldn't find a better photo of it. Time for a new rear tie bar.
