That's a nice set of changes, Skitz. And I really love those Corpses (sorry...I mean Copses). They will look so sharp on your yellow. I've got the Neuspeed exhaust (about $685), and I'm very happy now they've gone to a 3.5" tip (which looks like the stock). However, if you've got more than $1000 to spare, you might stretch to getting the best - Meugen. As for the springs, Neuspeed told me that all springs "settle" after some time, and you lose the effectiveness of them. I'm not sure if that's a fact, but you might want to bypass adding springs unless you get some decent feedback from others who've installed them. I've never figured out what springs buy you on the S2K anyway; it's a pretty decent ride as is.

Don't forget to post lots of pics - especially of those wheels!

 

I might point out that our Sponsor, RM-Racing, has delivered many quality parts to many satisfied customers.

I am aware of some early problems with the exhaust system that where resolved quite some time ago.

Also, the RM-Racing exhuast is really a B&B Fabrication exhaust, a very reputable company that has given RM-Racing exclusive distrubution rights for the S2000.

 

1Y2KS2K, why do you think the Mugen exhaust is the best? If you're talking about hp gains, independent dyno testing have confirmed you don't gain any hp at all (Even Scott at King Motorsports have said this). If you're talking about weight savings, yes it saves 24 pounds and is the lightest dual outlet exhaust available, but the lightest overall would be the Amuse R1 titanium exhaust that saves over 42 pounds. If you're talking about price, then I know for sure it's not the cheapest ($1500). However, if you're talking about style & exhaust tone, that's just personal preference. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against Mugen (My next step is to get the Mugen headers), it's just I don't agree Mugen is the best exhaust out there. Enough of me ranting. So, how does the 3.5" version of the Neupseed exhaust sound like compared to the 4" version?

Richard, cut me some slack here...Yes, there's a huge gain right before vtec, however Scot of King Motorsports (And our ex-member F20C, aka John) have verified this is due to the Mugen headers, not b/c of the Mugen exhaust. As far as the Spoon single outlet exhaust goes, it doesn't gain anything...One of our members have dyno'd it at Intercrew Auto Salon and the results were basically the same as the stock exhaust (I believe +/- 1 to 2 hp). Yes, I know most of us don't spend much time in between 8-9k rpm, however you're forgetting that the Amuse is over 42 pounds lighter then stock and the Mugen is around 24 pounds lighter then stock...Doesn't that help out, you think? Like I said before...I don't have anything against Mugen, it's just (Obviously, this next part is just my opinion), I can't see myself spending $1500 for an exhaust that doesn't gain any hp. The only reason I would get it is b/c it saves around 24 pounds and it's not that loud (If you're into that). Then again, how many crazy people like me would spend $1500+ for an exhaust?
