Free revving the car, the 70-SSP has no drone. When the engine is under LOAD, it has plenty of drone. You clearly did not get a good impression of the exhaust.
I didn't modify the exhaust at all. I took it off the extra hanger and moved it to the left so that it would be centered (simulating a bent hanger arm). That is when it made contact with the underbody. There is no other way to adjust the exhaust, as turning it would only make the tip rise upward.

The answer to that question is: I'm trying to gain as much power as possible without making the car annoying to drive. I'd rather not have a car that gives me a headache after 20 minutes of driving. Maybe that is too much to ask.

I guess the best question is this.
Are you trying to maximize your power gain, or minimize noise, or try to find the best balance of both?

Bolt-ons on the s2000 have been proven to provide minimal gains.
As stated before, your best option is to go FI if you want power. There are numerous options that will give you 50% or more power gains, with NO increase in NVH.

I'm sorry greatfox i really don't want to come off as bashing you, but i can't help it. You just come off as a pretentious drama queen. You nit pick at every little thing. You try to come off as informative but can't tell clutch noise from exhaust noise shouldn't be too hard. Evasive bent over for you then you claim they lied to you. I could care less about Evasive's rep. The way you came about complaining though just put the scope on you.
Simple fix sell the exhaust. The fact you claim that the EVS exhaust is louder than a full race exhaust is lunacy.

Annoying is subjective, but you seem pretty sensitive to NVH. The answer in your case, is to stay stock.

yesterday, i met greatfox(Dallas) in anaheim. he's very friendly and honest. so i had a 10 minute ride in his s2000. he did everything to show me how this exhaust sounds. EVS 70-SSP exhaust and a test pipe were the only mods.
it's quiet as oem exhaust under 2500rpm. from 5000-8000rpm, it sounds great WOT. the tone is clear, not raspy. BUT 3000-4000rpm just drones. he cruised 2 minutes under 3000-4000rpm to show me how it is. from 4000-8000rpm, it doesn't drone at all.
i think he's trying to share his experience instead of basing a vendor here.

So, he clearly agrees with me. I have had cars with loud exhausts in the past, but they didn't have an annoying resonant frequency like my car does now with the 70-ssp.

Like I said, its pretty clear that you value "no drone" more than power gains, and unfortunately, the solution to that is to go back to a stock exhaust.
My offer still stands to take a look at your install and to go for a ride to verify the drone. I can separate out the individual noises your car may be making.
An alternative is to try a HFC.

As for you judging me without having met me, well that's your prerogative. But I'm a really nice guy, I promise

BTW, I do plan to try a Berk 70mm HFC, but I can't imagine it being better (in terms of drone) than the 63mm Berk test pipe I'm using right now...
