Just try taking your cover off your intake and drive around for a month and than put it back. WORLD of a difference with it on. I recently put my cover back on and the difference in power is significant.

Either way, you are all talking about gains from simple bolt ons for the S2000 which are pretty much minimal to say the least.
Very good point as intakes go.

turbo pwr is right you will see the same results by removing the stock airbox lid which in imo is dumb, hot air is bad.

As is the case with every bolt on for the S2000. I love my car but even I will tell you that the $1500 exhaust I want from Mugen isn't going to make it significantly faster. The only reason I want it is for a more agressive sound.

Anyway, you intake looks pretty sweet man! But I'm not diggin' the exhaust either.

thanks for all the input,s guys, both negative and positive.
I know the exhaust looks bad, I didn't know what it looked like when I ordered it ( result of lack of research). I had a thing for tanabe, for my previouse car, 98 prelude type SH, I tried to get a tanabe exhaust, but it was so expensive and so hard to get back then. So I kinda have the idea that tanabe == top quality. The exhaust will go for an ARC single. ARC all the way baby, that's after my toda spec As of course. The spec As and E-Manage are already on their way.
Will have them installed over this weekend. The next thing will be the ARC single and test pipe, hope I won't have to wait for 3 months this time.
As for the intake, I just love it. It is a PITA to install, but the result is sweet.
Will install my toda flywheel and clutch disc this thursday,
