Default Just Bought an S2K

I bought my S2000 last summer and I really want to do the UK exhaust mod. Simply for the sound. I also received an invidia test pipe when i bought the car but read it makes your car smell terrible. Im considering putting it on and modding the mufflers.

Uk exhaust mod nets you almost nothing. Why bother?

You'd be better off going to the gym and losing 5 lbs off your body.

he did say he just wanted it for sound...still kinda retarded IMO if you ask me...OP is probably the same kind of person that would take the stock airbox lid off for the sound as well...nothing sounds cooler than lost horsepower

It would have been nice if the car had sounded a little more raucous form the factory, so i do get it. But...

^I totally agree, sounds great stock and I wouldn't mind it a little louder but the same tone which is I'm sure why the OP wants to do the UK exhaust mod.
I just don't agree with all the other aftermarket exhausts I've heard.
Maybe someone will prove me wrong but so far, no one has..

Thanks for the input. I dont want to put an exhaust on my car, they usually look stupid and do nothing for a N/A car. Just wanted it for the sound. Yes it might be a waste of MY money, but its MY money and MY car. I just wanted some constructive input, something this forum obviously lacks because of its over population of oafish and phlegmatic members. BUT...Now I think first im going to stance my car to make it super driveable, buy a sweet wing (cr replica but BIGGER), put at least 18 inch rims all the way around with super stretched tires, get a AEM V2 (box says it adds horsepower), maybe tri-turbo it, and buy a lip for it or maybe make one...Thanks again.

Thanks. I forgot everyone here lives by Justin Timberlake's newest hit and has no remorse. (jk) I needed two posts to become a member. Still dont know what Im going to do with this dumb test pipe. Honestly joined just to look at pictures and maybe buy a few parts.

the test pipe isn't so bad - i've had mine on for 4 years and never really noticed it. Some people complain more. It is by far the biggest power gain per $$ you can do for this car. It doesn't change the sound much though, maybe very slightly improved.
The alternative is a high flow cat - not quite the same gains, but plenty and no smell. Worth doing before playing with the exhaust in my opinion

18" wheels is probably a bad idea if you want to improve your car. Well make it slower with heavier wheels and heavier tires.

I thought stance for handling and tri-turbo would've been sarcastic enough. I forgot sarcasm isn't easily translated via the web.
