need advice on an exhaust

[revn 9k]

hey guys

i only got my S a few months ago (pics on this thread http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?t=117159 )

i want to change the exhasut but i have no idea what to do i would like it to be louder at higher revs but tame down low as i live in small town and dnt want to attract too much attention
any help would be greatly appreciated

cheers

fujitsubo exhaust are pretty quiet until WOT .. that might suit your needs

[revn 9k]

lol thanks for the suggestion lol but i dnt understand the slang, what is WOT??

also curious to know other S owners with aftermarket exhausts what do u guys have?

[vyets]

WOT = wide open throttle :)
if u want tame get a 60mm(2.5") they tend to be more quiet.
J's 60RS is one of the most quietest exhaust for the s2000

[SNKS2K]

I got the fujitsubo Legalis-R close to a year ago.

Good for daily driving - quiet when you want it to be, nice sound when you hit the throttle.

Had a few compliments from it.

But if you drive on the freeway alot, then the noise might do your head. I dont so lucky me.

All in all, its a great exhaust if you dont want to spend too much.

PS. unnoticable gains.

i got mine 2nd hand for 900 and brand new i was quoted from about 1400-1500 at the time. (US dollar was at like $0.65-68)

Might be cheaper now.

I'll keep an eye out for ya.

ur one is Hi-power not a Hi-power slient,eh?
if so, by any chance you wanna sell urs to me ?

I had the Amuse R1 dual, and HKS dual, noticeable low end power loss with the HKS, especially when going back to stock. Stock is best compromise, all the sound can come from an intake. IMO exhaust is good for weight loss, and only worthwile to go single for power (small gain).

i just heard abt HKS HI-power better than HI-power slient, HI-power slient is bad design for high flow

which one you used to have?

and, correct me if anything goes wrong..cheers

[Ferrari]

hi power silent - it was not silent, had an awesome sound

[genghiskhan]

silent hi-power is the same design as the hi power??

[mikoZ]

silent hi-power is the same design as the hi power??

what i heard is different, HI-power is better power gain than a HI-power slient due to the diff design...

and i m didnt c much s2k owners talking abt toda dual, any recommendation on that?

[genghiskhan]

the hi-power is made from mild steel whilst the silent hi-power is full stainless steel, the reason why its known as silent is that HKS achieved the same sound level as the hi-power.
Far as i know i dont think there was a design change.

when u say all the sound can come from an intake dus that mean keeping stock exhaust and getting an intake to make it sound better??

[revn 9k]

this exhaust sounds awesome http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMyPcpJpYeY

anyone got one or heard it before and is apex a decent brand

[Ferrari]

intake is loud enough when WOT, especially an AEM or K&N FIPK

[vtek]

I have a Fujitsubo and I think its great, looks subtle, not too loud and its something that would be less likely to go out of fashion.

[revn 9k]

has anyone tried taking off the muffler and putting a straight pipe apparently it sounds nice and deep

[namski]

I'd recommend Buddyclub. They've got the sweetest tone on all. :thumbsup:

[eriktufa]

Amuse :D

[eriktufa]

How much are you willing to spend though?

[revn 9k]

How much are you willing to spend though?
i dnt really know or care how much i spend, just want a nice note up high but nothing too loud. also... do i have to import one or is there somewhere in aus i can get one. i live like 6 hrs from sydney and 5 hrs from melb so im not sure what kind of auto shops are in the cities. if anyone got any links of sites for s2k parts it would be a great help

[mikoZ]

revn9k, Just wanna borrow ur thread to ask a question:

toda dual catback VS Hks hi-power VS hi-power slient
sounds, performance, weight. any comment?

[aznsiko]

What he said! :thumbsup:

[revn 9k]

thats a sexy exhaust, although im having 2nd thought abou buying one now cos i went for a very spirited drive yesterday and its pretty loud (inside the car) i think an exhaust would drive me crazy especially on long trips.. i need to hear different exhausts in person before i buy.. problem is mine is like 1 of only 3 or 4 within like 200km of where i live lol. is anyone going to coffs harbour s2k meet in october??

[ludecrs]

I think most people will be attending :)

[sho]

if you come to the meet ur bound to hear the amuse, j's and the fujitsubo ;)
i have the j's and i love the sound however my mate with the fujitsubo complains abt my car being loud :P

[aozora]

I have the APEXi N1... it's loud. Everybody else but me and a few friends complain :p

[ludecrs]

I think @ 9000rpm any exhaust is going to be loud....

rofl at the cat. sick cant wait 4 the meet :D ill be chekn put all ur xhausts

[STAiN MASTER]

From my experience, if you get anything larger then the stock exhaust piping size say 60mm or 70mm with the stock headers and cat, your going to get allot of drone inside unless you change the whole exhaust system on the car, at low rpms you will also get flood depending on which exhaust, to be honest its not worth just changing the stock exhaust because if you really want to get some power out of it you will need to get the headers, hi-flow cat aswell combine it with an ECU to get the most out of it then were talking allot more money here... if your just after sound the stock exhaust is nice with an air intake.

[yourfather]

My suggestion is you get a long cat

[IMG]snip/IMG]

EDITED BY: Ludecrs.
Reason: No Long Cat... mmmk.

[vyets]

u wont make the most out of the header with a stock exhaust it will be like a bottle neck effect. If you get a high flowing header and cat, and u get this tiny exhaust it will just restrict it.

[Simy]

sorry, outa topic.. but s2k meet in oct at coffs harbour?

[F20C]

straight pipe yo

[STAiN MASTER]

I dont think anyone is silly enough to buy a header and couple it with a stock exhaust.. stock header and after market exhaust yes.

Woops sorry dude mis-read it thought you said, if you want power get a header and HFC and ecu LOL :cool:

[NVD52K]

have u had any troubles with the popo about the tp yet?
and is the smell really bad? is it strong?

[ludecrs]

I've been running a TP for over 2yrs now....

[STAiN MASTER]

If you stand behind the car on idle with a TP, all the fumes goes onto your clothes and in your mouth, makes you stink and feel sick.

[ludecrs]

Can't say I've ever had that roblem LOL. Maybe you guys are just soft. :p

[STAiN MASTER]

That shit made me dizzy once.

[NVD52K]

have u had any troubles with the popo about the tp yet?
and is the smell really bad? is it strong?

knock on wood i have been pulled over for it being loud, athough when you give it a hit sometimes it blows out alot of smoke so dont do it while your behind the cops lol it does stink if you start it up and your in an enclosed area without any air flow such as a garage so dont do it you will kill yourself

[lzybum]

i guess running a TP isnt practical at all if daily driven then hey lOL
another part off the list =(
