Default Which exhaust

Guys and Gals, I'm in need of buying a replacement one and i'm unsure on the make that i want, i want it to be nice and deep but not too loud and if poss a bit of BHP, if thats poss, not sure what budget i've got, it all depends on if i like it or not.
I do like the sound of the invidia exhaust.....

If you have money to burn, the Amuse dual (assuming you're not prepared to put up with a wonky-looking single pipe, like any normal decent self-respecting S2000 owner ) is the only way to go - bling AND performance.

The older version of the HKS Hiper is still readily available and at a decent price - you could do a lot worse if it's mainly noise that you're after.

Boy Wonder's Supersprint looks quite nicely understated and makes a right bloody racket

I've just bought Shipley's Comptech sports exhaust of him and I am very pleased with the results

He ran his with a PRM intake on his car it was very noisey and had a bit of a drone around 3 - 4k.

I took a chance as I am only running the Spoon air duct and K&N which is nowhere near as noisey as a PRM and the sound is spot on

At idle there is a nice bassy tickover without being intrusive or droning.

Below 4k, the exhaust sounds reasonably deep like a 6 cylinder motor or something with much bigger displacement then 2 litres.

From 4k upwards all the way to the redline there is a nice rasp.

The exhaust itself is louder then stock but not in the HKS or Invidia realms of volume.

Comptech claim 3 whp and it certainly feels a lot pokier particularly below 6000 rpm's. There is also the weight saving and the improved look as well. Comptech claim on their webite that their exhuast makes the car sound like a real sports car and TBH, I can't disagree with them either

I take it you have received and fitted the Amuse then, Steven? What aren't you keen on about it?

See above - It doesn't sound as good as the HKS.

I *do* like the weight loss tho

(It seems to make more noise at idle than the HKS did)

What's this ??? Do I sense a ripple in the land of Amuse ?

Best way forward for weight savings are a diet
