Thanks for the compliment guys.
After driving it for a few days, I think the sound is starting to settle down.
The sound is more quiet with the top up, and it is not loud at all.
Just a nice exhaust tone that makes you realize that you do have an aftermarket.
IMO, I think it should've come like this from the factory.
I'll try to measure the exact diameter when I get a chance.
Oh, it's a HKS, not a sparrow.![biggrin.gif](https://www.s2ki.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)

Sorry for the confusion.

I don't have the Sparrow, but was considering the 70mm Sparrow until I was told it was almost as loud as the 70 single...
So - I'm shopping for an exhaust that isn't as loud as a single but lets my SC breath and is lighter than stock. Louder than stock is NOT bad, I just don't want my ears bleeding after being in the car for an hour
. The HKS seems to get good reviews for sound, weight - just not sure about how big the piping is vs. stock.

I was interested in the TODA hi flow cat, but I don't know if they're available yet.
I don't want my car to smell like $h*t![biggrin.gif](https://www.s2ki.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)

Overall sound: 5
Bass: 5
Looks / Fitment: 4.5 (looks great but its a little off on the left side)
This is the best sounding exhaust I have heard on the s2000 next to the single Amuse Single Exhaust. There is absolutely no drone on the highway either and the Megan Test Pipe gives it a little more throatier sound (Plus noticeable gains). The fumes are not that noticeable and the do not spell that bad if you notice them (The do not linger in the car for any extended period of time.) Just keep stock cat so you can pass emissions test and you are good to go.

^^^ Thanks for the tip.
We do not have emission test here in Michigan, so running a TP isn't a problem.
But like I said, I can't stand that rotten egg smell.
I've had a bad CAT(water damage) on an RSX before, and I hated it.
Thanks again for the comment, though.![thumbsup.gif](https://www.s2ki.com/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)

Thread from 2007 man..and yes you have to jack the car up to install the exhaust. I have taken off and installed 3 different exhaust systems in my driveway pretty fast. I always jack up the passenger side since the exhaust is closer to that side, then just scoot under there. Be sure to be safe and use jack stands, and wheel blocks so you don't have an accident.
