I'm dropping my OEM exhaust off on Monday to get the UK exhaust mod done, I will also be installing my Berk HFC also. What do you guys think?

Enjoying your build, good to be back? Btw yes lthe UK exhaust mod should be factory standard, at least aurally. Look forward to seeing more of your timeline.

I can't put in words how happy I am to own a S2000 again. There is something so special about this car, and I am never leaving again. I'm really looking forward to how the exhaust will sound! You know I will definitely be recording some sound clips once it is all finished.

I would get a test pipe instead but that is just me.

not really man, I already had them lol. I don't like to do things twice, well except buying my 2nd S2000 of course

I cruised around with a good friend today, it was super nice in Jersey today so we took a ride down the shore line. What a fun time.

I'm looking forward to hearing the UK exhaust. I have 38mm/1.5inch pipe waiting to get welded on my spare oem exhaust. IDK if I will keep the uk exhaust or the se duals on the car. Guess I will know once I hear the UK exhaust mod in person.

Love the wheels btw.

Well I dropped the exhaust off this morning and picked up in the afternoon. Got it on, and it sounds great! For the money I spent I really like the sound. It was raining in NJ today though so I didn't take the S out of the garage.

While I was waiting for the exhaust to be finished I installed my Berk HFC

Here is the exhaust before re-installation. You can clearly see what was done to the exhaust.

I also installed some reverse light LED's I had laying around. The white balance of the picture makes it look like the license plate light is not LED when in fact it is.

and here is the video of the exhaust! I will get some more on a nice sunny day when I can take the car out of the garage.

I really want to do the UK mod to mine as well. Just need to talk to a local friend that I think can help me out with it. I love the idea of the exhaust looking stock while having great sound.
