Anyone have a clip of a test pipe and no resonator on an S2000? I've searched but only found one or the other.

 

I have heard it but I personally don't think it sounds good

I would get the test pipe and save the money and get a header if you like the look of the oem exhaust

 

im rockin that setup rite now. ive got a few compliments on it. bmw tinny sounding.

 

Just go with no resonator - louder than stock but no drone and not too raspy (though it is usually a bit raspy on startup).

Here are my links with no resonator:

Cold start with light throttle blip

Heavier blipping while still cold

Still cold but how it sounds from the front

Warmed up and revving through the gears (top up)

Warmed up and revving through the gears (top down) - this gives the best impression of the exhaust sound (and intake). The exhaust is muted but still in the background if you listen closely

its sounds a little raspy from the back

 

Only on cold startup, though. Once the car is warmed up, it sounds quite different.

I'll try and get a clip of it from the back after it's warmed up some day, then post it back here so you can hear the difference.

 

had this done to my old 03, after a week of having it off, went back to the shop to have it put back on.
