So im brand new to this s2k thing and need some input on parts for my car. I was looking at J's site and most of their stuff has a descent price tag on it and im sure for a reason, my question is...is it worth saving up the money and buying that stuff or is there an alternate route without sacrificing performance, i dont mind spending money cuz i know most of the time you get what you pay for. And what would you tackle first suspension,intake, exhaust?

Would the fitment on my 07 be the same as any ap2?

What are some other sites to look at the s2k?

i've said this maybe...12132144 times.

What are the goals of your car? street show, track *****, dyno queen?


for ponies...the thousands you spend on j's for 20hp, you can save your $ and go FI with way more hp.

 

street car all the way, couple weekends here there playing at the track, i have a turbo hatch for go fast car. I want to keep the s2k very tasteful, not half *** the few mods i do do to it.

I like both the skunk2 and bc spec III exhausts which one since they are both around the same price range, if not then why not? I tend to like the single exhaust better then dual

I do like the j's 60 rs the best, it sounds the best to me but cant quite justify spending that kinda money, I found it for $1400 from A&J is there anywhere else I can find it? Also, if im throwing an exhaust on should I do test pipe at the same time, is there any differences in test pipes? Whats best?

thanks

bump

 

simple yes or no will suffice....if an exhaust system is for an '06 it will work on the '07 as well correct?

 

the best exhaust i think is hks. If you arent looking to gain a lot of power and just want something subtle but really nice, go hks.

lol yes it should work. I thought you said you wanted to keep it classy, sandiego. Wouldn't a loud *** exhaust defeat that goal?

 

By classy I mean not any no name, ebay special things but thank you for the answer

 

my suggestion, if u want a street cruiser...

coilovers first thing, a nice little lip for show, some hot wheels, a semi quiet exhaust and ur riding pretty nice at that point

 

so buddy club is pretty loud?

hks is more on the quiet side but i didnt like all the things i read in searching about possible power loss, maybe its not a big deal i just dont like the words power loss, are there any other options?

Curious as to why I see so many people suggest the hks?

 

I wont lie to you. The car felt slower after install of my hks, but its so insignificant that it doesn't even matter. It sounds great and I really love it. Not too loud, not too quite.

Im probably going to be buying the Apexi n1 to switch off and on when i feel the need to be obnoxiously loud.

 

Is there a difference between ap1 and ap2 with the hks? As in the power loss?

Does anyone have a buddy club exhaust and do they like it?

thanks for all the help

Buy the buddy club if you want bleeding ears.

 

Okay so its that bad lol

I really like the j'2 60 rs, someone give me justification to spend that much money

There isn't any. It gets the job done, but its really just a bling piece.

 

I really want to go single exhaust, how is the invidia single?

 

Judging by the sound and unbearable tone the dual puts out, I wouldn't think the single would be any better. Maybe they designed the muffling factor a little different. Who knows? Try it out.

Im going to be buying the Apexi N1 single. It's going to be **** loud, but that's why I have my Hks if I get tired of it.
