Default S2000 makes you go deaf

I was talking someone last week who told me a friend of his had an S2000 and absolutely loved it. But he got rid of it after a couple of months as his wife told him it was making him go deaf.

So he bought a 350z instead.

Simple answer to that.

Just turn the volume up on everything else and get her to shout!!!

Went to too many Heavy Metal concerts when I was younger and have noticed a deterioration in my hearing.

My GF complains about the volume of mine. I must say I don't really notice anymore (the complaining and the volume).

The standard s2000 and a fair majority of the aftermarket exhausts are pathetic in volume.

I've had a few people parked next to me try and re-start their cars cause they can't hear their own engine ticking over.

It was never ment to be that loud, I just wanted freeflowing. So no cat, 2.5" pipe and a large internal diameter (2.5") backbox.

Pardon?

I must start wearing earplugs at track days. My ears are always properly ringing after them.

I've a set of proper ear defenders in the car. I ended up wearing them on my trip to Germany last year.

I agree, the roof down is pretty loud and you get the odd wind thump I've noticed as well. I thought this was just me as I built and competed in a few sound offs so my truck was quite loud back in the day.
