I just had this done at Advance Tire and Muffler in Long Beach. The owner was super cool and got it done in ~45 min. They also only charged me $70, which is on the low side according to this thread.




Overall I'm pretty happy with the sound, though I may go to a full exhaust at some point in the future. I agree with many posts that this is how the car should have sounded stock, however.
This is where I go for all my exhaust stuff too. How did you explain wht you wanted done? I don't want to say UK mod and get weird looks.
I think you just tell them you want a bypass pipe done

Just got mine done with 1.5" piping.

Ask for Rome, tell him Randy with the little Honda sent you.

How much did you pay at this place? They are close to me and I'm really considering having this mod done.

I just picked up a mint '08 stock exhaust to get rid of the crap backyard exhaust the PO put on the car I just bought.
So my question, how much louder is it over stock? I saw the videos but it's really hard to tell still. Can anyone give me their best estimate how much louder it is over stock? Like, 10% louder, 25% louder, 50% louder?! The car has FI so I need to keep it real quiet to not attract the cops.

Muffler shops charging $100 to install two pipes and spending more than a hr to do it is ridiculous.

I paid less than $100 at the place above.


As far as noise level I can hardly tell from the inside. But when I drive by a building or a wall it's slightly louder with a deeper tone. On a cold start you can hear it.

Did you find one? I'm in Irvine/Tustin and Anaheim/Fullerton usually. I may go out to Ace Muffler since they've done a couple S2000s already.

Anyone living in the SGV with this mod? I would like to hear it in person. Meet up, chat about cars, etc.
