Hi! I'm buying a 04 S2k in about a month. I'm wondering how does the S2K respond to mods? It seems like, intakes, header and exahaust are not making much of difference. Is comptech supercharger the most common way to go for S2k?

 

The most common mod is probably a CAI although some people like the bling bling and put cool badges on the car. So far I haven't heard of the car responding poorly to the cool badges. Maybe you could post what your goals are for the car and we could actually give you some specific thoughts about whether those goals were attainable.

 

don't jinx yourself, nobody wants a lemon. It doesn't respond like mustangs do to mods, but it will put out a few more ponies...for a price. I/H/E still common, but don't look for peak gains; midrange is where it needs it, and this is where those mods seem to have the most impact. also, weight reduction mods make a big difference in overall performance. The car will be a bit more powerful with an exhaust, but even if it didn't make any extra power the light weight of a single Titanium exhaust would improve performance.

as far as performance mods to increase the power, not a whole lot to gain unless you go FI.

 

With my Comptech intake and Invidia exhaust it felt like it has more power in 3k to 6k rpm range. The stock exhaust is a heavy piece, going with the invidia exhaust i save about 30lbs. You might think it's not much but when you take the corner the car definitely felt lighter and a little loose. It felt like the CG has change with just 30lbs weight reduction!!

 

I think that at 120 hp/liter, the car is maxed out without nos/supercharger/turbo

 

Just drive the thing stock, in the twisties, they way it was meant to be driven....you just might like it.

 

The only mod I had done for my S is replaced the spare tire with three old pillows. The car is quieter with both top up and down. The cost is only $4 for a can of tire inflation and pray that I will not use it.
The next one is a Voodoo shift knob ?
