Comptech will not drone. Comptech makes great parts and you will be very satisfied with it. If I were you, I would see if Problem Child still has the Comptech for sale and I would jump on it if he does. Its a great price, well made exhaust, and great seller. Can't go wrong there!

I gotta jump in here, and I hate to pi$$ on anyone's campfire...BUT...

As an owner of a CompTech --- purchased some time ago barely used from a kind S2Ki member --- there IS some drone.

All in all, though, I have to say I am more pleased with the CompTech than I could have expected from the anecdotal reviews I used to base my exhaust purchase. The sound is not too loud, but deeper and more ballsy than stock. There is a bit of drone at lower RPMs, though. Imagine yourself trying to drive slowly and respectfully through your neighborhood... keeping the speed somewhere south of 30. You're in second gear, and, well, the sound is a little deeper and dronier than it should be, IMHO. From my experience, if you are driving your CompTech-equipped S2000 properly (read: blasting to VTEC at all times!) then you will absolutely love the exhaust.

Cruising speed in sixth gear can also get a little old, but it's certainly not much different than stock. Of course, I wouldn't know too much about that because I prefer to cycle through the gears, no matter the circumstances of my drive.

But VTEC is sublime. Great growl and I even have my buddy with a 2002 Camaro SS envious of the sound. (He once gave me the ultimate compliment: He said, when chasing me around he couldn't hear his own engine over my exhaust)

comptech is better .the comptech is not that loud and its very good for daily driver and whats good about is if you decide to go supercharger this the best for the supercharger....I myself have the comptech and like problem child said this is a very well made exhaust...the one that problem child is selling is a very good price and he is a very good guy to deal with...
