I love the way my buddies NSX Pride exhaust sounds, and I am in the market for an exhaust for MY04 S2000. I do have my eye on an exhaust already, that is said to make great power (T1R 70 EM dual). If Pride can produce an exhaust for the S2000, that sounds as good as it does on his NSX, make respectable power/gains somewhere (some s2000 exhausts even reduce power, don't want that) and have a comparable price point, then I will buy the first one made. I have seen the quality and it is top of the line, and I have witnessed the customer service, which is without fault. I just don't know that a 4cylinder can produce that v6 mid-engine sound.

I'll be straight forward with you guys as I don't own an S2000 (will be in the market next spring hopefully), but I do own an NA1 NSX as well as a K24 Frank'd 6266'd EK SFWD Hatch. Although these videos posted do an OKAY job of capturing the sound from the Pride V2 exhaust, it is not like you hear it person.
I have the V2 on my NSX and I must say the sound is simply amazing. It can be quiet and subtle while cruising around town, but when you mash on the throttle, it opens up like a shitstorm was just unleashed and is a harmonic balance of power and tone. I absolutely LOVE the exhaust on the car and the absolute last thing I would want is some ricey sounding fart can exhaust, especially on a car of such magnitude.
For Pride to be looking at the S2000 market, you guys should be beyond ecstatic. Especially with the different "tuning" options with test pipes, resonators, etc.
It has a nice deeper tone at lower RPM's and has no drone on the highway. I should know, I had no stereo in my car when I bought it and drove it 1600 miles home... if there was drone, I would've known it.

Increasing your redline to 17k RPM and a straight exhaust would probably help. Or just get a Suzuki Hayabusa engine and swap it in. Ever noticed how the super bikes sound similar?

The Fuji exhaust sounds very motorcycle like at the top end of the rpm band, one of the nicer sounds I've heard from an exhaust if you are looking for a higher pitch.
