Default S vs 330i

Was at a stop light, the road ahead merges from the right lane into the left which turns into one lane. I of course was on the left lane at the light, a bmw 330i with a younger (mid 20s) driver rolled up next to me. Guy gave me the what's up nodd (I had the top down), I returned the nodd. I see that the light going across was turning yellow, guy gave me a rev'ed and asked if I wanna friendly race and I smile back at him. Light turned green and we both screeched our tires out the hole, end of 1st I took him by 1 car, end of 2nd and he's 3 cars back, end of 3rd and I'm about 7-10 cars ahead of him. Next light he rolled up to my left onto the turn lane, he'd said "shiet, dem thingz are fast". I looked at him and brushed off my shoulders as I smile, he smiled back and said "you got me dawg". We parted our ways after that, cool guy .


Bonus-
Later on I got caught up at a light, two guys in a sweet looking Tahoe with 24" chrome rims rolled up and started checking out the S. Passenger said "nice car, what is it?" (Rick's badge of course). I said" take a guess", guy said it's a Spyder right? Driver said "naw, it's that car in Tokyo drifting, it's that orange RX_ something. Told 'em that it's a HONDA, they then said "Honda makes those? (refering to the RX_something)" I took a deep breath and kept it to myself, I then said it's a Honda S2000. Guy said" it's a sweet ride" and get this, he also said "too bad it's not a SI cuz the best model for Hondas are always SI which comes with that Vtec thing" . Light turned green and I took off normal, they'd made a right into some back road later on and that was it for the night.

Never had dyno'd my S, I don't feel any gains but it does indeed smoothen out the rpm when I'm on the gas hard. I say it gains a few (maybe 1 or 2hp) in the mid-range, no top end or lower end fosure.

I guess if you like, you could just copy/paste this thread in that thread (hope that makes sense).

The s2000 is quicker from light to light but, on the highway over 100mph a 330 will walk away from us. It's happened more than once to me.

Last I heard, the DC header only saved weight. Some showed no gains or even loss power.. I have it because.. well I have it.. LOL..
