[B]Anyone know anything about the Feel's exhaust? My friend's looking into this one, but can't find anything on it. We both think this is the nicest looking exhaust for the s2k.
I think this exhaust IS one the best looking for the S. I think the Apexi WS is very very similar except for the gorgous piping that comes with the Feel's. Last i heard though, prices were up around Mugen territory. Kinda too pricey only for aesthetics. Thats why i went with the Apeixi WS for the street.

Shadow,
The Spoon philosophy is built around functionality, not esthetics. That's why the tip is smaller. It's more stock looking. The point I was trying to make to everyone is that the Spoon is not comparible to the J's in price. Sure they may be around the same list but figure this. The Spoon comes with the Silencer and the Test Pipe. On the J's, these are both options at an extra cost. I know the J's silencer is an extra $50, and the test pipe is around $100 I would think. Also, the J's is a 1 piece exhaust, whereas the Spoon is a 2 piece. It will cost you more to get the J's here since no one here in the US stocks it.

Just meant to add that I am not bashing the J's exhaust at all. It's a seriously sweet exhaust. I chose the Spoon over the J's for the simple reason of trying to maintain some sort of brand loyalty. Too bad Spoon doesnt have the cams and a vtec controller, or I'd have all Spoon.

If I had the bucks to do it, I'd jump on the new Amuse Dual R-1 FULL titanium catback. Weighs just FIFTEEN pounds !!!! Cost is over $2k though.
I've never heard it in person, but I'm told that it is a bit louder than the Mugen, but not as loud as most of the single pipe ones. Amuse claims it gives a genuine boost in HP, but I've not seen a dyno test to prove it. My main interest would be to lose all that weight, given that the stock weighs more than 50 pounds.
