Default Need a Mugen exhaust demo

Who lives closest to central North Carolina, has a Mugen Exhaust, and is willing to let me visit you and ride shotgun for a sound demo? Everyone says it sounds nice but I'd like to hear it first hand before plunking down 15 big ones.

To be honest with you, it's really quiet. I don't think you can hear it all that good. All I can say is that it has a deeper sound to it, and it's a little bit louder than the oem exhaust. That's the exact reason I got it. I didn't want a loud exhaust.

I have the Mugen header, but I've never heard my exhaust with the oem header in place. I'm sure the exhaust is louder to a person outside of the car, but it's nice and quiet inside.

The sound difference is minor. It does have a deeper sound at low RPMs. It looks alot different from the stock exhaust. I don't think the weight or dyno differences from stock are enough to notice.

in this case, I think you should sit into my car and try to hear the difference... I think it is still loud..

RandyP, the exhaust is 25lbs lighter than stock and it is one of the only cat-back systems for the S2000 that not only ads power, but does not lose power! Yes, expensive, but it is hand built stainless steel and titanium so the quality is unsurpassed and far better than oem.

All the Mugen exhausts I know of are in the Midwest - sorry.

Thanks for the input guys. I'm sure I'll like it , but I'd like to hear one before I buy.
