Got my second mod installed, the Nippon autosport exhaust.
I'll post some pics this weekend and a sound file if I can get it on the forum.

Looks really nice. Could you give me some more details as to the sound, performance increase? Why did you choose that particular exhaust and how much did you pay for it? I could be interested.

Hi Victor,

Just got it for 2 days, the sound is very good for me. Not loud, just deeper. Fits perfect and it "feels" like i've got a better response (more hp???) between 3000 and V-tec.

The price is 40.000 BEF, i've choosen this one because it's made in Germany and the quality is very good and i like the sound. (others are very loud)

What do you think of the OZ Superleggera rims, they should be available beginning of next month for the S2000.

Bart

P.S. Any response on the Group Buy

Just a few more questions on the exhaust:

-do you know the weight compared to the stock one?
-where did you buy it and what's the delay to get one?
-have you considered buying the HKS or Mugen exhaust? if yes, are they available in Europe and what's the price difference compared to the Nippon one?

Thanks in advance for your help,
Victor.

As to the OZ rims they just look great and I am planning to buy them. But I couldn't get any information in regards to the availability and price in Luxembourg. If you have any update please let me know.

Victor,

first feedback: The exhaust can be deliverd in 1 week through Banden Boons, he also wants to deliver to you if you want. Price is 1995 DM (+/- 41.000 BEF) For this price he also wants to install it for our members for free! Otherwise it's the Price +shipping.
He is also checking for the OZ rims ansd i'll have the deliver date next week.
I dont have any further info on weight (the Mugen and HKS are more expensive)

Victor,

The exhaust is 5kg lighter than stock and the gain is 3hp(same as other exhausts), you don't loose hp.

That's quite interesting. How can I order and where can I have the exhaust installed?

Thanks,
Victor.

Pancho,
It looks great! From your pictures I have the impression that the exhaust pipes have a larger diameter than stock. I'm I right?
Also, how is finish/fit compared to stock? What would you suggest as to where the weight gain comes from? Does the Nippon exhaust use more alloys/aluminium? 5kgs is an excellent weight reduction for an exhaust system.
