Invidia N1 or Buddy Club Spec II?

*I'm pretty new to this forum so I'm not 100% sure where this should be posted, but here seemed to be about right. Mods if I made an error, please move it to the correct place. My apologies in advance*

I do HPDE but I've got a stock exhaust at the moment and literally cannot hear my car a lot of the time when I'm out on the track. I'd like an exhaust that is loud enough for me to hear while driving with the other cars, and has benefits as far as performance and weight reduction. I'm not so much expecting to gain any power from an exhaust, moreover, I'm just concerned about losing any.

I'm liking the sound of the N1, but heard it has terrible drone, and I can't find much about it as far as performance.

I've read nothing but good about the buddy club as far as performance, weight reduction, and overall satisfaction.
Any opinions would be helpful. Thanks guys.

Don't waste money on the BC II, make or have someone make you a straight pipe muffler replacement, you'll be getting the same results for a lot less money

I'd suggest neither personally. I sell both of them but I'd go for the Q300 invidia exhaust before either of those. They are both Very loud!! Any exhaust for the S2000 you will have no problem hearing.

I have the buddy club spec II paired with a 70mm test pipe and love it.

My guess is that some one would spend more money than if they just purchased the Buddy Club spec II. The Spec II is Stainless Steel piping with a resonator.


If your talking about going to a muffler shop and having them "Fab up" a "custom" exhaust with material on hand. I am guessing you will be getting a crush bent 2 -3/4" mild steel exhaust. (Super Heavy) This will no way compare to the buddy club spec II.

Any way good luck.

The sound of a Invidia N1 Dual with a test pipe is intoxicating. The only other exhaust I like better is the challange 76 TA-RM

I personally don't like either of those, the gotuning greddy exhaust is very nice and is around the same pricemark.
