Damn, that looks GREAT!!! Can't wait to get some up close shots. The first Spugen exhaust I saw (and HEARD) was during one of Rick Hesel's meets.

Here's a pic:

Looks Great!! I also have the Oval/Oval Spugen and love it. I'm also trying to get used to the sound during normal driving but once you hit around 4500rpms and above, it sounds very NICE!

One thing that I did notice is that it is actually louder inside than it is on the outside. Overall, I'm very happy with this set-up.

Nice install, gotta love those oval tips!

As for taking the plunge, go for it. The Spugen kits and a decent intake are the absolute best bang-for-the buck mod on the S2k, I love mine, you'll love yours.


BUY IT!

I'll be waiting patiently for your input on the sound. Thanks in advance for keeping us all informed.

Looks great glad you like it. I trust the shipping went well? I packed it with a lot of stuff to protect it. Good luck

Yep. It got here with no problems. The only surprise I've noticed so far is that I now have an interior panel somewhere behind me that vibrates right around 3100-3200 rpm if you ease into the throttle. At WOT, you don't notice the rattle! I suspect the tray that the roof folds down into, but it sounds more like a metallic vibration instead of plastic. It's definitely coming from inside the car and right behind me -- it's not the new exhaust at all. I'll try to track it down on Saturday.
