Hi everyone. I haven't been on board for a while what with the message board splitting fiasco and all but...I installed my exhaust Sunday and boy am I happy!!! i just had to share. It was a b!tch getting the stock one off myself with two jack stands, but I did it, and installation was a breeze. I didn't stop to weigh the exhausts because I was so tired and just wanted to get it done and test drive it. But the HKS sure does feel lighter. Anyone else weigh them or know the shipping weight? All I know is it sounds great, throttle response seems much better, sounds great, looks cool, and it sounds great too. Makes the car even more super fun to drive, especially in tunnels

I'm completely satisfied. Thanks Scot and everyone else responsible and involved in the group buy, especially the patient ones! Thanks MG Racing for getting the low price. Thanks Honda. Thanks S2000online

The weight is the weird thing, it exactly the same as stock!

Stock exhaust is a b*tch to get off! Is it me or does the exhuast have a different pitch in low revs, mid-revs, and high-revs? Thanks. Latez!

That is cool. It must sound really great 'cos you said it twice in your post . Anyways, the dyno chart for HKS is supposed to be posted pretty soon in several days I hope. MG Racing is paying for the test. Will see if the ponnies gain is as great as the sound.

If you think it sounds good from inside the car, you should hear it from behind. I followed Black 7564 for an hour on Saturday and it really sounds sweet.

I agree with the above.
You all have to let someone else drive and follow behind. You will love it that much more. So let the girlfriend take it that one time, and enjoy.
Hope Sondra isn't reading this, she just think I'm being a total pig here.

I got a number of comments about my HKS exhaust tone, from a number of the people at the track on monday... Even one of the guys driving a 355 commented that he liked the sound!
