Hello everyone I understand that this discussion has been done quite often but I have been researching for a suitable single exit exhaust for my s2000. A lot a threads are almost a year old so I'm trying to get some fresh ideas. Any help would be appreciated.

 

 

As noted the newest of our cars are 10 years old. And besides, a single exhaust looks lame on our cars. Performance increases are largely imaginary.

I loved my HKS Hi-Power single on my old AP1. Looked great with an EVS bumper cap.

 

 

I was about to purchase the tomei single since that's the style exhaust I want but after watching a few videos of other exhausts I'm stuck. Granted all or majority of singles are going to be loud but I can live with it. Mostly for performance and design.

 

Single exhausts are lighter. There is something to that. Stock mufflers with rear Y section weighs 44 lbs. So, if you are competing and trying to get down the lightest weight, a single exhaust helps there.

To solve this for big autox events (aka nationals .. I dont bother for local events) mine has a flange right in front of the Y in the pipe. I pull my mufflers and run a turn down there for nationals. With a berk cat and stock resonators with a PLM header, it blows 91 dB, so still well under the sound limits and removes 44 lbs from the back of the car But again, this is trying squeak out that last .01 seconds, so on the street is meaningless.

As mentioned, power gains will be small and you will not notice them for the most part. Honestly for street only or sometimes track/autox weekend warrior I would just run the stock exhaust unless I wanted more sound.

 

i have the Cleib exhaust paired with a 70mm Berks catless pipe, its loud at low to midrange RPM at load but quiet and no drone on the highway.
