Stock exhaust as I weighed it after I took it off 56.5lbs (yeah shocked me too ) and the Mugen was 20.8lbs so more like 36 lbs. Taking the stock exhaust is a bear and a half and it's so heavy and awkward. If I was young enough to stand it single exhaust is the way to go.

 

So I got a GoProCamera "Motorsports Hero Wide" for my birthday and did a little testing with it today. To share it, I also had to get with the times and figure out how to upload to youtube.

Anyway, here's my first 15 second video using the suction cup mount on the windshield.

I'm trying to upload an edited version of a rather long test I did with it mounted on the front bumper.

 

I just got that camera, too. It's awesome! It'll get a lot of use for Wake the dragon.

 

IMHO... I don't think the Mugen AP2 exhaust drones at any rpm at all. It sounds perfect. Not too loud and not too quiet. I have it on mines and I wouldn't trade it for anything.

 

wow... that's a steal.. lucky! Oh well... I got it at a pretty decent price for a mintly used one also.

 

Here's the video of it mounted on the front bumper.

The mugen exhaust does not drone. When cruising, it sounds nearly stock, and when you get on it, it has a very nice tone to it, but never drony (if there is such a word). I don't like exhausts that drone at any rpm, but the Mugen is nearly perfect for an aftermarket exhaust on the s2k.

 

Which version do you have? Also do you have headers? I don't believe the headers would have too much to do with it as they really are just weight savings over the stock header.

Maybe it's an age thing but you just can't go to a cannister that's a a little less than half the size of the stock box and is almost twice the mouth size and say it doesn't drone.

I listened to guys saying it has no drone then bought one put it on and BAM .. drone ..LOL It's not terrible and thankfully only drones between about 3000-3600 rpms.

 

Spr2 - I'm surprised you have drone on yours. Everything I've heard from other Mugen owners says no drone. The only theories I have are a)knock-off/replica or b)older exhaust with all the glasspack burnt out.

the-moss - nice vids. I picked up the same camera but haven't used it yet. How'd you mount it? Yours looks really stable - is it with the suction cup mount? I built a bumper mount a few years ago that is mounted to the front bumper tow hook. That sucker isn't going anywhere!

 

No the exhaust was pretty new when I got it and it's the newer AP2 specific version. Maybe someone can make an in cabin vid starting a 3k and I could hear what it sounds like.
