the invidia goes for like 530 on ebay all day long, for a stainless dual exit cat-back that sounds cheap to me, especially when compared to a comptech etc.
But seriously if somebody finds the invidia cheaper than 530 lemme know!!

The Skunk is a re-badged Invidia. My little bro. has one on his S and loves it. It is loud but loud is a matter of opinion. The sound, like the Invidia is aggressive and exotic.

I not sure what a "farth" can is, but I can assume that you are insinuating that it sounds ricey and cheap. Not the case at all. Yes it is loud, make no mistake, but so was the Lotus Espirit I rode in and the Elise that I drove. It all comes down to personal taste and what you want out of your own vehicle. BTW, there are alot of Civics out there that sound pretty damn good to me. PEACE.

Yeah, you might as well go with an invidia exhaust, and yes, that is exhaust is loud, but it definitely doesn't sound like a civic fart can. It sounds very mean in person when you drive next to one. I would never buy one for my daily commutes to school/work, but it does sound mean.

I have had the skunk2 on my car for almost 2 years now. My S is my daily driver. It is loud....but very deep, so no civic fart can.... I love the exhuast. It does drone inside, but that can be varied very well with throttle input. Many people complain about this exhaust, but I think the people that do have never owned it. The people that love it, have it or have had it. That is what I have noticed while perusing this sight. But like another user said, the definition of loud varies with each person. I have really enjoyed mine so far and really would not go another route. When I need it to be quiet I install the silencers!!!

So the silencers make a huge difference in th sound? Does the car have a lot of drone with the silencers?


Thanks For the info

i think you should get the Invidia. it's what the Skunk2 was modeled after, and there are hundreds of S2000 owners who can confirm its quiality fitment, looks, and sound. Steve@Evolution has a group buy going on right now (will probably end at the end of this month). He sells the Invidia for a flat rate of $600. i would much rather go with Steve than an eBay seller because he has a shop in Chantilly, Virginia, and hundreds of users on this forum have had good dealings with him. after about 3 months of exhaust research, i finally concluded that the Invidia was the best buy, and decided to buy from Steve@Evolution. my exhaust should be arriving tomorrow. there are also numerous videos out there that can also show you what the Invidia sounds like.
