Emil: Yea thanks for the link to the FOR SALE ad....

Sent that guy a cashier's check OVERNIGHT so he should be getting it out for me today!

Those are great pics but I will be sure to post some more shots once I get it on my car next week. I think this is the cleanest looking s2000 exhaust by far with the oval cans.

I had an HKS hyper on my old car and didn't like the "Cheap" look of it -and for me the Amuse is overpriced and doesn't look that good.

And Tcho82,would you like it as much,if it was a "no name" exhaust,costing $1600.00???
yes I would like it as much. If the invidia had the same fit and finish as the Mugen, i think It would be worth the same. But it doesnt. I dont like drone, I dont like rice, and I value my hearing, but the stock exhaust just doesnt cut it. everyone has their own personal tastes, and to me, this fit the bill perfectly. Honestly you can put any name you want on the exhaust, but for people who don't want to set off car alarms everytime they drive down the street, but want a nicer deeper tone and a well engineered exhaust, then Mugen is the way to go. Nothing against comptech, I love the comptech look also, to each his own. I just got a deal I couldnt pass up on the mugen.

But it sounds so lame. And it looks plain. The Mugen gives it the extra oomph it needs, without going overboard. Not to mention its a bit lighter than stock 25 vs 50ish. I'm not trying to have a pissing contest here.

In my book,Mugen is overpriced period,not worth the money.
People keep on bragging about Mugen,and showing off,because it is $$$.
But,who am I,to say such things,just bought a C.F.Mugen spark plug cover.
No pissing contest,here.

Yea it may be overpriced, but I sure as hell didnt overpay for it, in fact I probably paid significantly LOWER than what you paid for you comptech.

C.F.Mugen spark plug cover - Now that's a useless Bling item that is $$$ Nice nonetheless
