what do yall think about a Comptech hi flow cat. and how much it will increase the preformance of my car?
Ineed some seggustions within like 2hours Im getting it off ebay :-D im just doing last minute opinions

 

I duno about the high flow cat. I could see some use for it if you were going FI at some point. But you might I mean might get like 1 hp out of it. But you will probably get more noise/drone from the exhaust if you get an aftermarket one later. But if its not to expensive then give it a try. But thats just my .02, and Im more about usefull/noticable mods than anything else.

well ive been trying to up the preformce of my s2k but its hard i mean theres not a hole lot to do without eather tearing my car apart or spending over 400bucks.
unless I don;t know some. If any one knows any good upgrades for my s2k for under or 300 and has mild to meduim work involved give me a seggustion.

 

Not sure it's all that worth it unless you have already done all of the other in/out mods (intake, header, exhaust, etc)...

IMHO, these cars are already pretty tapped out performance-wise from the factory. To get much more out of the engines, you pretty much need to force-feed them.

Also, if you ever plan to AutoCross, simply putting in a high-flow cat bumps you out of a stock class (a lot of other worthwhile mods won't).

At any rate, it's your car, if you think it's worth it, by all means go for it.

With those qualifications (less than $400), I'd be looking at suspension, brakes, etc...

Some good quality pads, an X-brace, and maybe a sway bar or something might make it handle a bit better.

Ya Ive look in to that but Im mainly looking for some engine performance

 

Making the car accelerate faster without making it handle or stop better (first) is a recipe for disaster.

Just my $.02 from what I've watched over the years.

 

lol i don't need it that fast I just need a lil improvment im looking to get my 0-60 times to about around 5-5.2 secs

 

If all your wanting to do is improve your 0-60 times, then practice practice practice. This car is hard to get good times unless you practice with it. Also this car is fast but it is not really a drag car.

I don't know about that....the car has more than adequate handling/braking to support more HP. I had no problems keeping my old S2000 on the road, w/ near stock handling/braking capabilities.

IMO the biggest threat for disaster is drivers' perceptions of their skills exceeding reality.
