You can get a good used single (like Spoon) for around $350 here lately. More power and great sound. I'd rather have that than a crush bent ugly weld muffler shop special.

I simply had a good muffler shop remove the old ones, and install a set of magnaflows, on the stock pipes. not too loud, and a little droning. and not much$$. this just one option. or keep a lookout for a used catback, theres always a few for sale around here.

A custom exhaust can be as good as any aftermarket exhaust but the muffler are not easy to get good ones. You can search around to look for something has good resonance. Personally, I don't like magnaflows, but you can think about HKS or something.

I would wait and save the money for a catback. The S2000 is to nice of a car to be riced up. Most muffler shops are not capable of producing a quality exhaust. I would recommend a new Invidia exhaust for $539 off e-bay. Don't jack up your nice ride.
