if i remember correctly, chuckies got one for sale in the for sale forums, and there was another single hks one for sale too somewhere.

Ive got a hks, but with no resinator. Lemme just say that you can hear my car about 5 blocks away. Under normal driving its alright i guess, but once you hit vtec, everyone will know your hitting vtec. There is a drone at about 3-4k revs, but once over 4, its fairly quiet.

My friend had an aftermarket cannonball type dual exhaust and ended up taking it off and reverting to stock after a few months of aural pain. Sure it sounded nice when thrashing it but the anti-social nature and the headaching drone at 3-5k revs made it unbearable in daily driving. You really need to hear for yourself what the exhaust you are getting sounds like on your car otherwise you could regret it later.

Have anyone of you noticed that even a stock S2K sounds quite different when inside the car and when you hear one redlining through the gears passing by? It sounds a LOT better from outside the car.

Oddly enough I thought S2000 sounded just perfect with the OME exaust. Perfect mixture of engine, exhaust and intake ... I would have not changed it as to me it was pretty close to what a Ferrari sounds like ... well maybe a Ferrari with 1/2 the cylinders.

I'm pretty sure it's from the BMI VTEC Club DVD.
