Default Mugen split 2

Anybody with the Mugen exhaust, have you noticed that one muffler/tip hangs lower than the other???
My driver's side muffler is lower than the other side!!

I'm wondering if there is a way to fix that?

Will only the SS exhaust go with the SS rear bumper or can the stock exhuast fit?

I'm sorry I don't remember which thread it was...but a while ago, Scott (King Motorsports) mentioned you can adjust this by undoint the bolts and trying to twist it a little, then rebolt down.

If you are looking for strictly peak hp number, none of the stuff you have mentioned even with all of them come not even remotely close to the Comptech S/C can do.

Ahh, I need to work on my writing a sentence, sorry folks.

HondaGuy, the fit is no problem, however finish of the product that comes to you need lot to be desired. It comes unpainted like any body kit part but it is not ready to be just primed and paint due to surface imperfection and pin holes. Carbon fiber piece on the each end of the wing is also looks far from perfect which is why maybe Kings themselves took out the carbon fiber piece and exposed the bare metal underneath.
See the King's red project car photo below.
I don't have more pics of my car but I will link some photos from Japanese S2000 site.

Oops, just King's site is down.
Visit when you get a chance. www.kingmotorsports.com and look at the SS2200 project car.





If I were you, I would go with ECU instead of the wing.
Don't get me wrong, I love the wing very much but the ECU is heck of a more money's worth than the SS-wing if I was to chose between the two. Yes, I have experienced both in my car before so I can easily tell you which one would be wiser investment.
Also painting rough piece like the SS-wing would cost you lot more money extra.

And think about the investment return. If you decide to part with the ECU, you would probably get most of your money back when you sell it. ECU isn't going to worn out with the usage and you can easily go back to stock form without any damage.

Any of you guys running the Mugen micro mesh brake lines? If so how is the pedal feel compared to stock? I would like alittle more aggresive braking to compliment my N-0's. Even if its just a little better pedal feel through some brake lines that would do, i do not want to run track pads on the street. I also do not want to spend big money on a complete big brake kit. Does anyone know if mugen plans to produce rotors for the S2000 in the future, thanks
