Default Magnaflow, Dynomax Exhaust?

I am thinking about getting the OEM cans cut off and something like a couple of Magnaflows welding on. I know some guys on the boards have done that but it has also been suggested that the Dynomax Super Turbo might be a better fit for the S2000. The local shop thought the Magnaflow might sound a little "raspy."

I've had Invidia...way too loud for my tastes but surely sounds good pulling away. Not interested in going near that route again or spending bookoo bucks on something like a Comptech or Mugen at this point. The sound of those exhausts are very nice IMO though so maybe a sound in that range if possible.

Depending on what the tips look like I might also stick with the OEM ovals I have. Another possible venture is the Berk Test Pipe in conjunction with this mini upgrade.

So, what do you think would be the best given I want to maintain the driveability on the highway (no drone) but wanting some fun during spirited driving? Thanks for your input.

So if one was looking for a nicer tone and didnt want to spend all the money on the comptech they could get the magnaflow cans and end up with almost the same sound? Does anyone know what cans and part numbers maybe??

Just take it to your local muffler shop, tell them how loud you want to go. they will have the right size mufflers. cost should be $3-400

I ended up putting a couple Borla cans on there last Friday. Had the oval OEM tips welded on. So far sounds great and quite happy.

Which Borla cans did you go with? What would you compare the sound to?
