Default ...Whats the best I/H/E for the S2000???...

...I checked around here already and i couldnt find any answers for this...There were similiar topics but they didnt really answer the question...So can someone tell me which ones are the best with the price and gain you get out of them...I would appreciate that...I dont have a S2000 yet but im looking forward to buying one in april...A 2003 S...And i already know what i want to do to the exterior but im not sure on the engine right now...Also, whats the best suspension for this car and brakes...I heard that the Tein suspension for the S wasnt good and that Stoptech brakes are good for the S...

when you ask a question like this all your going to get is just personal opinions.

if your going to get an I/H/E just try to stay with the same company for all three mods. most parts coincide

j's header gives the most gains, but i <3 my amuse header.

The reason you couldn't find an answer to your question is because there isnt' one. There is not "BEST" of anything in this world. Some items are better than others in quality, some are better for drag racing, some are suitable for road racing, some for the street.....see what I'm getting at?

Since you don't even have an S yet, you might want to wait until you get one before you decide on buying anything for it. The learning curve in stock form is pretty broad, even for advanced drivers.

j's intake $1200
j's header $1400
j's 70rr $1500
aem ems 1050U $1600

(all estimated prices)

you'd be netting a good 230-240rwhp (but only with the EMS).. without it you're getting around 220rwhp

j's 70rr is the header back exhaust system from j's... 70mm... matches perfectly with the 70mm collector on the header..

It's been said 100 times on here...but its the best advice you'll get...invest all of that money in track time and driving school...you'll get more out of your car just learning how to properly drive it then you will slapping bolt ons in the engine bay.

K&N FIPK intake
AUT cooling panel - Love them both, definately worth the money - Throttle response and top end were alot better with the K&N, not to mention how much it cleans up the engine bay With the cooling panel installed, the car accelerated alot better just cruising on the highway. It is loud, I mean loud in VTEC, so it may not be for everyone.

T1R Power 70 exhaust - I absolutely LOVE IT! I reset the ECU and drove it for a while, and didn't really feel any difference - After driving it for a day I could really tell a HUGE difference - Car pulls so much harder from 3K and up - I can't describe how good it sounds - it is amazing - Definately the best mod so far, woke the car up alot. I get getting a CEL for the test pipe, but that's the only downside. It is kinda loud, but has a silencer if you need it, I don't

Toda race header - I have it ordered and paid for, so it is not installed yet - I will give you an opinion when I get it on

Next is EMS to get all I can out of it, clutch, flywheel, and 4.77 gear and I am done!
Or so I say You can never really be done
