Does anyone know if the bumper actually provides any down force or any other aero-dynamic benefits?

 

I have a few questions about this new kit :

1.Does anyone know why the Mugen exhaust in the SS2200 kit has to be different from the exhaust generally available ?
2. How is it different ?
3. Is this SS exhaust available for s2k's without the kit ?

Hmmm, looks like a jack 'o lantern to me. No like.

 

I think it is nice. Pretty subtle. But on the otherhand, I thought some of the other kits out there are nice too when majority of the people prefer stock looks. I think a little variety is good.

 

mt2000-

Check the other thread for details of the exhaust, and how it's different from the standard Mugen exhaust.

In any case, if you can't find the thread here's the reason-

Mugen wanted to clean up the airflow under the rear and out the back of the car- the easiest way to do that is to engineer a smooth surface there. They could only do that, and meet minimum clearance restrictions for the Japanese DOT, by raising the canisters slightly, and since there was less room when raised, the canisters had to be at a slightly more unusual angle. This angle also necessitated another extension on the tip to angle them back to parallel. At least, that's my take on it!

This exhaust, with all the different bends, only fits the Mugen SS2000 rear bumper, and at the same time, no other exhaust is engineered for this bumper- you get one, you need the other. I've heard that the two are sold as a kit- but I haven't had any confirmation of that.

The standard Mugen exhaust is also stainless steel and fits the standard bumper exhaust locations. It incorporates titanium canisters (riveted on like a motorcycle can- easy repacks!) for maximum reliable weight reduction.

Look at http://www.kingmotorsports.com for more details, even if they aren't the authorised distributor in your neck of the woods they have a good online catalog- in English, none the less!

 

Hey Nick, AWESOME cars you got there.

Thanks...

But I couldn't do half of the stuff without ANY of my sponsors' and friends' support. I HIGHLY encourage any of you to look them up for your needs, if any. They're all great people who will take care of you!

 

I really like the new Mugen bumper and the spoiler. Would anyone have a ballpark idea on the price of each?

$1000 plus for an unpainted bumper seems a bit pricey; especially if the car is a driver not a show car.

 

I asked Scot at Kings and he said the price is not out on it yet. I REALLY like them too but unfortunately the wing is too "loud" and where I am going in a year's time, mods are illegal. So no wing for me (Hoping I can get away with the other aerokits)

Hard top is out of the question, too hot in a tropical country.

 

If someone want the price for each piece of the aero kit they can check this address at the Japan Mugen website:

The text is in Japanese. As you can see some pieces are available in Carbon Fiber and Plastic. Prices on this site are very close to what King charges on the States.
