I took some from further away, but they aren't good. I need to park somewhere with some direct lighting on the back of the car, otherwise you can't see much.

I'll get some more pics up for you ASAP.

Pete, the only negative to posting such a nice set-up is the onslaught of owners who will now follow your lead. I know it sounds silly, but now I know why some owners like to keep their mods in stealth-mode, especially in large S2000-populated areas.
Tell me the thought hadn't occurred to you.
heh heh

Dunno, we can probably get something going soon. There's Streets of Willow on Aug 2nd &3rd and then Buttonwillow towards the end of Aug. I love SoCal

Pete, well said and a good attitude to take. I march to a drum few others hear (silver carbon fiber kit, F1-style carbon fiber steering wheel, Supertrapps, canards, wing, graphics, black wheels, etc) so
I don't really have to worry about seeing myself anytime soon. BWHAHAHA Truth be told, my car probably would look more at home pacing other cars than it does on the street but it's all good. As long as each owner is happy with their add-ons. There are still territories and S2000-changes left to discover and it's always interesting to see new mods and offerings crop up. This is sort of the side-benefit of the cars constantly lowering used price (due to age). We get more newbie owners and shops creating doo-dads for us all.

It would be nice if Spugen sold these mufflers and make a bolt-on exhaust system (full Ti piping would be a nice dream). Also, if people were to copy you, I would take that as a compliment. But it would also make your car less unique so to speak. Nice mufflers btw.

Fellas, this is so nice! Surprisingly, this is not loud at all for a pair of TI mufflers. However is loud compared to the stock setup for sure. Finish on these mufflers are amazing but man, for us to sell these would be pretty tough since they do cost about $360 each!

As for TI piping, don't think it will happen anytime soon. Ti welder will cost in upwards of 100K and the bender about the same price. TI metal is much thinner so much care is taken. From what I understand, to weld TI one would need to be in a vacuum. Too crazy...

Congrats Pete and I promise I will not copy these and keep it unique and one of a kind for you!

I HAVE JUST MADE MPEG SOUND CLIPS OF THE BEFORE AND AFTER VERSIONS!!!

Let me see if I can join Image Station to get them up for you guys.


Duc, and everyone at Spugen Headquarters- I can't thank you guys enough for your fine work. Your genuine concern for producing quality work and parts, is extremely refreshing.
I'll probably come down on Saturday for more mods!!
