the link doesn't work for me (probably firefox) but the link looks like it goes to vividracing which is a really good company (they are a sponsor on this forum) they have good prices and ship very quickly. I recently bought a koyo radiator from them and it was on my doorstep two days later.
send vividracing a pm- they usually give a discount if you contact them through this forum.

like the two before me said- if you plan on buying a header don't get your hopes up about gaining any power- it is a minimal gain.
i know my car is not going to feel magically faster. i just want it to complete my setup i have k&n intake, invidia dual n1, 70mm berk hi flo cat, and now i want to get my header and getting it tuned afterword and be done with aftermarket really. i know there isnt that much horsepower to be made but id rather have a s2000 that sounds badass and has 217whp than a stock one with 200 whp that doesnt sound mean

haha good thinking! i thought the s2000 was like rsx or si and a intake will give you 15hp and exhaust will give you 20 but the s2000 is fine tuned by honda and stock parts are pretty good. But the sound when you get aftermarket is beast! my s is louder than every single car i have seen. even at muscle car meets. invdia n1 dual with a matching 70mm tp and a aem cai! sounds mean!! i do wonder what headers wil do to the sound tho.

Header wont change any sound. I had the same set up as you then got an aftermarket header and it sounds the same. I miss that setup though

I expect it would give at least a little bit more tone than stock.

I have the same exact set-up as you. I'm not sure if it was any quieter with after the header but the tone for sure changed. She sounds so **** mean.

I still haven't saw a good comparison of the Berk. They're always being held up with OEM or small dual exhausts. Can't wait to get my AEM EMS in and tune to see real gains.

Excellent point about losing the heat shield. I'm Sure radiant heat would negate most gains from the aftermarket header. And the stock header is already steel tubing, its not like going from a cast piece to stainless which would make more noise

The different piping thickness and sizing can change the tone and even the loudness. My coated Berk barely heats up.
