I know - I really think people have different piping systems on their cars......and don't think I'm crazy for saying this.

April and I have the same year S2000 - we both had the exact same exhaust (before hers was hit ) and hers always stuck out a little farther than mine. Hers looks even better with that lip now - we're basically twins of different colors from the rear......of the car that is - my butt isn't as nice

Another thing - w1ngman, tenblade, and FF2Skip have the Invidia exhausts. They all drone (IMO) with the silencers out, but tenblades is ridiculously loud - it actually hurts to ride in his car! Wingy's is a bit quieter than Skip's....neither are nearly as bad as Steve's (tenblade)....I don't get it

Thanks for the offer, but that plane ticket would probably run me a very decent exhaust system.

As for exhausts, I'm looking for a consensus here:

I'm looking for a 'european' sound - like what you get when your passing an M3 that's breathing really hard.

Any suggestions? Tired of the 'fart cans'.

It's an inline four cylinder. About any exhaust you buy will have the "fart can" sound. Can't make an S2000 sound like a V6 or other.

the Fujitsubo Dual Legalis-R exhaust that Avi has sounded nice. not overly loud, good deep grumble. worth considering.
