Exhaust?

Im looking to get a cat back exhaust, ive seen alot that i like but i dont know how they sound. If you have an upgraded exhaust plz tell me what you have and how you think it sounds compared to others. I know everyone has there different tastes but thats ok. I dont like the "angry bee in a coffee can" sound if you know what i mean, no offense to any that has one like that, I just dont like it. Ive heard since the s2000 motors are quick different than other hondas that you dont realy get that sound no matter what exhuast you have. Any input would be greatly appriciated.
Thanks

Exhaust is kinda personal preference like anything else. I have the T1R 63mm Sparrow and I really like it.

Its loud enough you know its there, but not so loud you have to stop the car and get out screaming cause your ears are bleeding. It has a nice deep rumble. It does drone slightly at highway speeds, but not enough to be a problem.
If I had to do it again, I'd probably go with a Supersprint, its a little quieter, and I like the oval tips on it.
Heres a good place to start looking at exhaust. This isnt all of them, but a good start. And like s2000isu said, theres quite a few vids on youtube if you search.

I have the Comptech one. Here is a clip from last summer at Reno-Fernley raceway. I am the 2nd car you see/hear. You be the judge.

I know for a FACT that the last year of production of the S2000 is 2003!!!!!
After that, it will be the S2200 under an assumed name.

I'm interested in an aftermarket exhaust but am more concerned with weight savings.

Anyone have suggestions on the lightest aftermarket exhausts to look into.

Got a link to a distributor or manufacturer website? Nevermind ... I found it.

Wow ... pretty loud and a cat delete. I wanna shave some serious weight but don't think I wanna go this radical for street. I'd be happy with shaving 20 lbs or so off the exhaust and keeping the cat.

Thanks.

I would have to agree with youtube or streetfire.

Personally, I'm liking the Invidia system so far. But for weight try the JIC systems. They seem to like titanium. http://www.jic-magic.com/SearchProdu...PARTANProducts

Hope this helps
