Default SS2200 Exhaust

I was thinking the rear of the s2000 seems to need a little more zing to it then it has stock. So, I was looking at the mugen rear bumper and I think I like it a lot. But it requires the SS2200 Exhaust. I was just wondering if anyone has any information on this exhaust. Does it make any power? Is it lighter then stock? It doesent sound "ricey" does it?

Any information would be nice, thanks.

I love the design and sound very much.

Click photos to see bigger size.





If you are actually looking for some gain as extra other than looks, you will be disappointed to find that the gain is almost nothing to just a few hp. It is about 20-25lb lighter than stock exaust however.
Its construction and fit and finish is quite impeccable and you just know it will last and last and last.
As for the sound: it is discreetly louder than stock. You will hear deeper rumble mostly when you cruising 3-4K rpm but nothing intrusive or annoying. People will hear the slight deeper note as long as your car is alone and not drowned by the sound of other louder exaust equipped cars.
Price of the admission is quite high I admit, but if you can afford it why not? It is definitely one of the finely made exaust out there.
I feel lucky and glad to have this exaust and enjoying it.

That looks CLEAN. If the exhaust sounds nice, I'd buy the whole package in a hearbeat.

Does anyone have any sound or video clips of this setup? Where can I purchase the rear bumper and exhaust? Any help would be much appreciated!

Mugen has some major balls asking $2700 for a piece of fiberglass.

Now if I were to buy this exhaust and rear bumper, would I be crazy or just plain stupid? I *love* this look.

The price of $2,700 includes the bumper AND the exhaust, I believe. The King Motorsports site is not being clear.

I believe the kit is made out of carbon fiber, not fiberglass.
