[cleargrip]

1. IDK theres a bunch. Inlinepro.com is supposed to be good. Also, ricks2k.com has some good stuff.
2. The big ones are Spoon, Mugen, Toda, Buddy Club, and J's Racing. Invidia and Megan Racing are supposed to be pretty good also. But anything worth buying for the s2000, will cost a lot. Headers=about 900 Exhaust=about 700-1500
3. Unless you go forced induction, your best bet is to do weight reduction or get gears. Youtube s2000 with 4.44, 4.56, or 4.77 gears. An Apexi Vafc 2 properly tuned is another way to gain roughly 10-20 whp and some torque.

Also, a test pipe is an easy 5 whp and couple lbs of torque for cheap.(a lot of people don't like test pipes because they aren't legal and will make you fail emissons if your state has them)

Any single pipe exhaust system that you buy will generally also save you about 30 pounds off of the stock exhaust.

thank you for not being a prick like some people on other sites

No problem. I've said stuff on s2ki and s2ca and some of the people are complete jerks if you aren't on the same page as them. If you stick on this site, theres a bunch of knowledgable and down to earth people willing to help.

Edit: if you want Mugen stuff, buy it from kingmotorsports.com They're the official North American Mugen Distributor.

Oh, I don't know D1, it had occurred to me not to answer so nicely.

Cg, a word:
suggestin' to folks how'da answer your questions could bring about results other than whu'chu'd like.
Ya asks yer question, ya takes yer chances. If there'z dues ta be paid, ya pay 'em.
Didn't much like it when ol' aunt Jo'd advise me ta "behave myself" either. Get my drift?

Be well,

Comptech makes some really ggod parts for the S.

Good luck finding torque. Even with a SC, the tq. still falls far below the HP numbers. A turbo will give better results, but cost s more.

Gears are a good swap. You don't get any more engine tq., but you do get the sensation of more engine tq. through the new mechanical tq.

Just FYI - Horsepower is a calculation of torque (for all engines).

HP= (Torque x rpm) divided by 5252.

So, at 5252 rpm, torque and horsepower numbers are the same. The difference is where the peak torque occurs. Depending on the type of engine (workhorse or racehorse) the peak torque can be low end or high end. The S2000 (AP2) reaches peak torque at 6800 rpms, peak horsepower at 7800. Don't know about the AP1, but I'm sure someone will chime in.

I think Honda's theory is that if your spinning that motor at 7k or above, you're probably not towing a trailer and you're already way up there on the acceleration curve, so big torque is not as important.

If you like that stump pulling, tire smoking low end torque, maybe a big block Chevy would be more fitting. (hey jagg...another shameless plug for Chevys!)

If you really need stump pullin' torque,
FORD---300 Straight Six.....

Throw your little rock-crusher behind that Don,
and watch the bell snap clean off.....

Sorry, Shameless Ford plug.

Please, 300, 350? No, if you really need lots of torque: http://ebay.windingroad.com/newsuplo...gine003600.JPG

^Yeah, but changing the timing belt is such a hassle.

The little guys stay in the motor. It would change itself
