Default Maybe I might do Invidia...

I have been researching exhausts for my S for awhile now. I really love the look and sound of the Invidia V3 but the drone complaints scare me. With that being said I was really leaning towards the HKS. It has a great sound that is not too loud but the looks aren't quite what I want.

I was looking around and found this thread: Drone Killer

What do you guys think? Do you think this will make the Invidia bearable?

Thanks,

Brandon

I have always loved the Invidia exhaust. I wanted one and almost bought one until I found a used Comptech exhaust.

Invida LOOKS good on an AP2 rear but the sound is too loud and droning. If that "drone killer" really does work then I'd say go for it.

I've always been a huge fan of the HKS, and hearing Tony's the other night reminded me of that... it's mature but still aftermarket... I think with the tips powdercoated black it would be nice and understated... never been a fan of the "invidia" plague on the Y pipe under the car, looks out of place to me.

Hey! Brandon...just go for the Invidia V3 you'll have a very mean, well sounded S2000 and also get their Invidia testpipe and also I believe Invidia have their own header now, too. About the droning.....just put on the silencer that comes with it...then you'll be okay. and also it's just a matter of getting use to the sound of this exhaust. So go for it...you won't regret it.

The silencers completely kill the look of the exhaust. FYI.

I do like this idea of black tips

That is one of the only things I really liked about the new S2000 CR. Those black tips look great and it would flow well with my silver/black theme I have going

I kind of like the Invidia plaque in the rear. The thing I love most is the Ti tips. Hmmm....this is a hard decision.

BTW- Are there any pro detailers here in the area that could give me some tips on a full detail? I posted a thread in the W&W forum asking what products to purchase. It would be nice to hear from some of you local guys too
