If you're after power, any spending on the exhaust system overall is best spent on the manifold not the back section. You can make gains with the back section, but in area under the curve terms, you don't gain anything like as much as a good manifold change. IMHO always best to change exhaust for looks and sound first on the S2000, then only pay much attention to the effect of the exhaust if you're planning to really tune the car.

AB you spend far too much time with those Japenese guys at Amuse. Where has your respect for our very own Quik Fit Fitters gone?

I give up I really do.

I'd love to see a supersprint on a 04 to see what it looks like....

the Made in Italy bit gives me some concern though....

I seem to remember an old adage
"Sort out the intake and the exhaust will look after itself"
from one of my old Auto-Engines Lectures.

Fortunately planning on doing that too
