The car is filthy now so I won't take any pics of it installed yet, but here's a brief subjective review:

This thing is loud. Rumbly at idle, dry and throaty when you rev. It's at its worst below 6000 rpm at 25% throttle and above, where it gets loud and bassy and obnoxious. At very light throttle openings though, you can hardly hear it. Maintenance throttle at 75mph produces very little noise above stock, but when you roll on the gas to speed up things get loud.

Where it really shines is above 6000 rpm, and that's what I bought it for. In VTEC the car sounds absolutely fantastic; it's the sound I'd been looking for while doing extensive research on exhausts. I'll try to capture some mpegs today as I'm out doing my sound level testing.

Here it is on the car:
And this is a link to a short movie I made today. It should be in the library soon, but for now you'll be getting it off my crummy DSL line.

Very nice. I particularly like the weigh savings attained by replacing the exhaust. Too bad it doesn't have any provisions for the opening on the other side of the bumper. Although, I do suppose that would defeat the purpose of the weight advantage.
Great job.
Crummy DSL line? You betcha

Excellent choice Jason. You won't be disappointed w/it. Yeah, I couldn't believe how light it is (8.36 pounds to be exact). When it arrived at my friend's performance shop, he called me to inform me. While he was on the phone w/me, he told me his wife was tossing it in the air so effortlessly. Keep in mind his wife's probably twice the weight of the oem exhaust (50 pounds for the exhaust), so she's no wonder woman to say the least.

As for cost?...Well, let's just say it's super expensive to the point where 99 out of 100 people on this board wouldn't think it's worth its cost...About $2200 plus shipping. As far as I know, there's only 4 people in the U.S. that have this exhaust for the s2k.

On a side note, sprintr6, I'd love see pics & your thoughts on it once you get it. Please post pics & sound clips of it if you can. A couple of my boys are interested in that exhaust.

damn.... nice exhaust, hey are you going to be at hot import nights in del mar on the 29th? i would really like to check out your exhaust and hear it in person, i'm thinking about buying one, but i want to hear how loud is loud, cause that's everyone's first response, i was even thinking about getting the dual amuse exhaust, which might be a little quieter, but no one can seem to get one and it would probably cost twice as much with less performance, or let me know if you ever cruise up to l.a., thanks

Yup, check out the 1st pic Jason posted.

As far as the sound, it's simply awesome (If you're into loud exhaust). Not loud as in rice, bean in a tin can loud, loud as in deep, it means business loud. Just ask any of the North Texas people that have heard it in person.

If you don't want to spend that much money, I'd get a J's Racing exhaust. It sounds very similar, however it's at least twice the weight. It cost around $900 I think.
