i didnt like them as much. I was actually quite dissapointed. The car felt laggy below 4500rpm due to the 4-1 design. Top end there wasnt much difference. In the end i ended up switching back to the oem header. if your after some bling just use some autosol and polish up the standard heat shield :P
The oem header is pretty good,its gonna take a quality product to either match or out perform them. Like fly said this is a tricky area that will having u going backwards if not done right. My advise is search, its been covered a 100 times. Probably get more info in s2ki.com.
thanks whiteAP1,fly..great advice!!!!its so hard to find good performace parts for an s2000 with out down grading.but will do more research about headers on s2ki,really wanting to purchase headers with proven gains..
id recommend keeping your oem header and using that money and buying a single outlet exhaust. I noticed that the car felt like it revved more freely as well as the great weight savings....
U'd really would benifit from headers and an exhaust,however the headers u purchase could dictate what exhaust u buy. For example J's racing headers a a little larger than most out there, u'd be best to match them with a high flowing single to get the most out of them. Search is ure friend.
as you know the standard S2K out of the factory is well tuned.
i would say if you were planning to upgrade exhaust system, remember your standard system already is a twin stainless steel system.
a cat back would be all you need and your best checking outa few brands out there to look for the right power and note you genuinely want.
brands such as
HKS
Fujitsubo
Spoon
Mugen
Apexi
remember with uprgaind performance mods for and S2K, price can be abit hefty
thats true!!!prices to upgrade parts is hefty..ive put a spoon n1 exhaust on it not that long ago,but im still looking to do a few more mods,maybe headers and was looking into an ARC cold intake.im still doing alot of reading and research on these mods..im also looking into TURBO CHARGING the beast if these mods dont go through..
