A very similar question was asked a week or two ago at most - scroll down a bit further to see what was said.

Get a 60mm if you can, this is the s2000 stock exhaust diameter though most likely your only able to get a 63mm which is more than suffice and dont go bigger.

It will most likely fail an MOT, it wont make the exhaust much louder (only a little) and will introduce a rasp more than anything.

Any anti fowler is suffice etc all it does it move it further out from the exhaust stream so the increased flow wont knock it out of the expected threshold by the ECU.

Can get a high flow cat to keep it mot proof but it's all a bit pointless with a standard exhaust..

Hi Tommy, a decat will make it considerably louder in my experience. You heard my car on saturday: FIPK, 32mm mod & decat.

Mine is a dms which I dont recommend because it split and needed welding. If you get a berk hi flow cat you might pass MOT, Lee has one so hes best to ask about that. HTH

Tommy has 28mm, I have 32mm also stock exhaust. My experience is considerably louder than OEM. Its all relative to the individual ears I suppose

Aye i guess so, I've had about 7 difference exhausts in my S2000 ownership.

T1R's were the best sounding when NA but stupid loud.

I suppose it depends on whether its resonated or non resonated which none of you 2 mentioned
