My S2k has been owned since new and is completely stock since I'm completely happy driving it as is. That said, I've decided that on today's world of increasingly FI or big displacement engines it is incumbent upon me to celebrate the NA goodness of this engine with an exhaust that will allow all around me to share in the maximum potential aural enjoyment. So I'm looking for a great sounding exhaust suggestion with performance, drone & number of mufflers not being factors. I want to place the order by 0900 Monday morning, so I'll go with whatever this thread convinces me of by then! TIA!

First what year car. Second Single or dual. If you have an 05 or under the J's Racing 70RS single. If above 05 T1R 70EM single. For a dual the Fujitsubo Legalis R hands down. Best of luck with your exhaust man.

Another person that wants to do zero research and just have a bunch of ideas thrown at them. Since your provided no budget buy one of these.

I absolutely love the sound of my Mugen exhaust, coupled with a Berk HFC it sounds fantastic, it's still a dual exhaust and weighs 24 lbs less than stock thanks to the Titanium mufflers. Most people don't want to spend that type of money though, but I can tell you that it is easier to end up with a bad sounding/poor quality exhaust than it is finding a good one, so you can go through a couple of bad exhausts before you get to a good one. The OEM exhaust is actually quite good, and I'd take a UK modded OEM exhaust over the majority of aftermarket exhausts.

I also like the Fujitsubo exhaust, but it is a bit heavier than the Mugen.

Lastly, the new HKS superior sound master exhaust (SSM) looks and sounds quite nice. Worth a look.

When you say you want "all around me to share in the maximum potential aural enjoyment" ....does that mean you want the loudest exhaust to annoy the most folks?

That sounds like something you would read on an ARC parts emblem

Much of this is mutually exclusive.

Performance and drone not factors? Can we get an extension on our homework deadline?

+1 on the Mugen + Berk HFC.

I have that combo on my '05. Without the HFC, it can drone deep (just like any aftermarket really), but when added, it toned down a lot yet maintained that classy bass.

I spent a pretty penny on a used one, but I've had no regrets, and plenty of compliments

Yes I bought mine used as well, so you can pick them up much less than new. That is a great way to do it, and they age nicely.

I was running the oem cat with mine and it was a bit quiet, I changed to a Berk 63.5mm HFC recently. I now get a real "cammy" sounding snarl just after VTEC (4900 rpms on my setup) and I love the new sound. It is tame enough to give that classy sound as you describe , and you still get that nice high rpm snarl. I wonder what it would sound like with a test-pipe, but I'd never be able to run one.
