I need help picking an exhaust system for my car. I want one that doesn't make a whole lot of noise (high pitch) I want a kinda deep sound. I hate the ones that sound like you should be playing the flight of the bumble bee...lol. Does anyone know anything about the borla exhausts for s2000's?

 

i had an stainless steel HKS dual that sounds awesome cause its low and not too loud. i wanted something louder so i went with a buddy club single and i love it. its pretty freakin loud! but if youre into a lower volume deeper sound the hks does the job well...IMO

 

I did extensive research on how each S2000 aftermarket exhaust sounds....and though MANY will disagree on here, I got the best sounding: Invidia. There is drone...but, I have ridden in other S2000s with a non-stock exhaust that the drone was actually worse. Plus, the drone is VERY controllable with throttle pressure.

There is no better sound than the Invidia at wide-open throttle. It truly sounds like a F1 race car, and also does the same while idling....it just gurgles, I love it!

I got mine through Steve@Evolution....he usually has a group by going. You can not beat the price, especially for what you get: great fitment, good looks, and a rediculously good sound.

 

... but I have been kinda curious about Borla, too.

 

I know its not an S but on my 92 teg I had racing tanabe and it had a real deep sound. Granny J can vouch.

 

where can i get one of those "hear us before you see us" sigs?

 

Invidia ALL THE WAY! Did not have an exhaust on my S2000; did have an Invidia on my STi and absolutely LOVED it! Friend of mine did have an Invidia on his S2000....pure sex.

 

what is drone what is that sound?

 

It is sort of when the exhaust 'bogs' in a higher gear at lower RPM. For example, when I am crusing in 6th gear and I have to give the throttle a little bit of gas going 60 mph....which puts you right between 3K and 4K...it gets pretty loud on the interior.

 

I own Invidia's and Love them... so don't get them... Don't want too many around

What I am really curious about is how the drone sounds with a straight pipe. I know that on ENRIQUE'S pipes it has eliminated the drone. Course he has single chute.

There are many choices out there... do your homework on the sound...
I suppose the three fav parts I have of the Invid's are:
1. The way I drive the car... knowing shift points... hearing EXACTLY what the engine is doing.
2. The way they look
3. Setting off other car alarms.
