Default Skunk2 vs Buddy Club Pro Spec

Hi,

I am planning to change my OEM exhaust system, but the more I search, the more I get confused...
So I've decided to choose between those two and I need your opinions. Which one should I choose?

For now I cannot afford a Spoon N1 dual but, at the same time, I wouldn't go for that chinese cheap products that are sold on ebay...

Skunk2 or BuddyClub? Or something else?

Thanks!

Dual!
Price range is a bit difficult to say, because prices in Portugal are quite different due to shipping and (possibly) custom fees, so I should answer: the same as Skunk2 and Buddy Club...
How loud... hum... considerably louder than stock for sure, but not causing headache every time I drive more than 5 miles!

Thanks!

im honestly not sure how loud the skunk2 are nor how loud the buddy clubs are. lol i would sau jump on youtube and look them up.to find out how loud they are. have you tried to look at greddy tic duals? they are 750, they are pretty loud but not to bad drone.

Yes, I've looked on youtube, but some have test-pipes, others don't, some have silencers, others don't, so it's really difficult to compare.

Greddy? I still haven't thought about that option... I'll check that!

I don't know whether it is against this forum rules, but can someone tell me web address of on-line shops that would ship to Europe?...

If your going for the cost effective route... In comparison to Skunk2 I would look into getting a Invidia exhaust since the invidia and skunk2 exhaust system are almost identical. Buddyclub exhaust would be a quieter option

For what its worth a buddy of mine had the skunk2 dual on his s2000 and it sounded great imo.... he ended up taking it off because of getting tickets for it though

yeah tickets arent a problem in my area really. u can run red lights and they dont even go after you lol. i pretty much did a burn out in 1st and 2nd gear in my uncles gt500 with full bolt ons....super loud btw. and there was a cop on the other side of the road who pretty much just watched lol. funny stuff. and honestly a test pipe is the way to go also. more power, less drone. invidias will give you ALOT of drone. especially without a test pipe

I believe that the Skunk exhaust system stick out way too much on the rear bumper. (Atleast from the I saw in person). With that said I would not get it for that reason just because it ruins the look of the car. I personally think HKS sounds really good on the S, but if you want something just a bit louder than stock go for the Invidia V4. I'm currently running the V4 with CAI and tp and it sounds awesome WOT.
