When I was down at JDModifed having a Gearbox seal replaced on My V6 MR2 they were fabbing up this creation for a customers S2000.

Nothing else to say other than Warning Auralgasms Possible.

Bloody hell! Full unsilenced exhaust? Jeebers, that is far too loud and totally impractical for my tastes. Imagine going through a small village in that, or well just being seen. The rozzers would hear you coming from 3 miles away!

Getting the car through an MOT would be er...interesting.

It is fantastic quality, my mate has the silenced version with the mid box and dual exit tips and that is pretty loud, this one you would need ear defenders on at all times to protect your ears!

In saying that though, it does sound awesome, but it must be well over 140dB!

Screams council estate, rather than noteable performance car to me, sorry. Sounds like a fart in a biscuit tin at low RPMs, a generic 4 banger at the middle of the range, then very nice at the top when it gets on song, but I suspect it's way too loud. I realise this makes me sound like an old codger at the grand old age of 29, but I've done the stupid loud exhaust thing and it's just tedious now.

Still, to each their own, sure it's well made etc.

Sounds good to me, looks good too. Hondas with unsilenced exhausts sound so good, it's a very aggressive sound but it's a good one!

You could just take off your aftermarket exhaust and leave the decat open, would be the same thing and cost you nothing?

Except it's not because it would drone like hell and every time you stopped at the traffic lights you'd be choking on the exhaust fumes that were not being directed away.

Edit: You'd also lose a fair bit of torque too - very few Civic Type R owners go above 2.5" piping on their cars, as a 3" makes the car go flat unless it's got forced induction. The same will be true for the S2000.

Well it was 2.25inch from the manifold to a 3inch rear. It was built to the customers spec he got about a mile away before coming back and saying it was too loud and asking for a can or two. Really well built too. It was possible to have a normal conversation at the rear of the car at idle.

That is going to drone where ever the exhaust ends! Fair point about the gases coming up though, key is not to stop!

I think the bigger problem is how lean the car would run with a unsilenced or terminated at the decat, the lack of back pressure is going to really screw over your AFRs without a remap. The S2k doesn't have any torque to begin with tongue out (I have one btw!)

Haha! Customer is always right...?
