Think i'd rather stick with two pipes if possible, I can't think if the rear bumper is moulded around them or not but i wouldn't want to go replacing that.
I'm looking at magnaflow exhausts now.
Any ideas about fitting the aem from a '04 to a '00

Cheers
For a single exhaust you can goto www.ricks2k.com and buy the exhaust cap to make it look more "normal" with 1 exhaust pipe... Oh it seems that ricks2k.com doesn't carry the caps anymore. You can try and find it used on the For Sale forum though or try calling them maybe?

For the intake, there are two different AEM intakes, there's the AEM Cold Air Intake, which is different for 2000-2003 (AP1; 2.0L; 9000rpm; F20C; etc) versus 2004-2005 (USDM only - AP2; 2.2L; 8000rpm; F22C; etc). Of course in the UK, you guys didn't get the F22C engine, so if its a UK 2004 S2000 the intake should work no matter what.

For the AEM V2 CAI, it is the same regardless of whether its a F20C or F22C. It is in fact a full cold air intake and not a short ram intake. The V2 is sometimes a short ram intake depending on the car. For example on the Acura RSX (aka Honda Integra) the V2 is a short ram.

With both intakes like others have said, be careful about water! You can try and buy something like this: InJen Heat Shield to try and prevent in intake from getting wet in the rain .. but it won't prevent you from soaking the filter if you hit a puddle or flooding. You maybe better off buying the Comptech intake or something similar versus the AEM/Injen style CAIs.
