I haven't done it yet, but I'm booked to get it done in a few weeks. We're going with 1 3/8th inside diameter tubing.
Early on some guys started using 1 inch piping, which I think is too small. Seeing a lot of guys going with 1.25 and 1.5 inch piping lately, I think that is the range to be in. I'm not sure if people are quoting inside diameter or outside diameter piping ?.

^Yes that is exactly what he is talking about. In the UK forums I've heard (and generally accepted) that 38mm is the best size for a deeper growl but not too loud that it drones like a bitch or a fart can. Here is a video of some UK bloke that is pretty popular in the forums with this mod:[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spxC_sEZZNM[/media]
Went to an really popular upscale exhaust shop up north by my place in San Antonio, TX and they wanted $500 to do that shit?!
Had a lot of time that day so I decided to go south to a ghetto exhaust/muffler shop to see how cheap there and they said $200! Which I think is still crazy!
I REALLY dislike the sound of all the aftermarket exhausts for the S2000. I just want a noticeably deeper growl that is maybe a little louder without drone.
So my question: Where do you guys get this mod done at and for how much? There are much more ghetto exhaust shops at the southwest side but I just don't feel comfortable driving to that side of town.. Not worth it for me if it's going to be over $100.

I saw many people in SoCal got theirs for $60-$130. You are getting ripped off if you're paying more.
38mm pipe may not be doable in many shops. I think you need a different machine for any pipe less than 1.5" and I bet not all shops have that.

I think I will be the only person with a UK exhaust mod on a CR OEM exhaust, looking forward to this as even the CR exhaust is too quiet. I don't like most aftermarket exhaust sounds, so this should do the trick for me.

I had mine done over a year ago, I used 2 inch O.D. about 50mm tubing, it has a nice deep tone no rasp at all, I think the smaller tubing doesn't give it enough sound and makes it more raspy, that's how most of the video clips I've heard seem to be.
