J'sS2K · 06-24-2008, 10:50 PM

The stock S2000 exhaust sounds just right for you!

RL1924 · 06-24-2008, 10:53 PM

Java Junky · 06-24-2008, 11:07 PM

Buy a CD of the sounds'uv WW II radial and in-line aircraft engines.
Season to taste with the volume control.
Att'z'z cheap'z itt'z gonna gett.

s2k 4 me · 06-24-2008, 11:27 PM

Look at the T1R 63mm Sparrow................not to loud, but loud enough you know its there..........GREAT exhaust

Also, go to youtube if you find an exhaust you want to hear. Theres lots of soundclips.

D1sclaimer · 06-24-2008, 11:42 PM

Anyone looking for exhaust should check out this video. Kinda old, but you hear what each exhaust sounds like close and with drive-bys.

RL1924 · 06-25-2008, 12:17 AM

I like the sound of the TR1 for sure i see you used to have one for sale i take it you sold it already right?

Would you say this is an accurate sound of it?

Mugen exhaust, no droning real torque gains and 24 lbs lighter than stock.

+1. I second this!

I had the resonator removed from my factory exhaust. It's very quiet at idle, but it sounds really good at higher RPMS, I love going under a large overpass at 8000 RPM's just to hear it. It's cheap to do and may be worth a try.

SXY_S2K · 06-25-2008, 07:42 AM

Yeah, I suggest changing out the resonator, can't be more than $60 bucks at a good muffler place, and if you tell them what you want it to sound like, they should be able to get pretty close.

I ended up keeping it....I couldnt find anything else in my price range that I liked better.
Yes, that video's pretty accurate. Its not so loud your ear's bleed, nice rumble at idol. Its not so loud in the cabin that you cant hold a conversation, but when you go WOT you KNOW its there.

Heres a crappy vid I did in the driveway:

Also, I got rid of the stock cat and replaced it with a Berk High Flo Cat.

RL1924 · 06-25-2008, 11:58 PM

The 70mm is fine. But just so you know , its gonna be louder..........still sounds awesome though.

The guys at Evasive are pretty good guys, I've done quite a bit of business there.

RL1924 · 06-26-2008, 03:36 PM

Ugh now what to do lol

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/T1R-6...3025QQtcZphoto

or....

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/T1R-7...3064QQtcZphoto

I know the pics are just pics but do you get the same you get on the 70 as you do on the 68? And is that just the canistiers that are bigger or the whole exhaust is larger piping?

s2k 4 me · 06-26-2008, 06:17 PM

Both the 70mm and the 63mm look the same, the only difference is the diameter of the piping. Not sure if the canisters are exactly the same, but they look like it.

RL1924 · 06-27-2008, 02:22 PM

Well looks like im going to order the T1R 63mm tonight S2k did you install yours your self? Any issues or pretty straight forward direct fit?

Sounds good, I think you'll really enjoy it. I didnt install mine, it was the middle of winter and I would have had to do it in the driveway, so I took it to my local muffler shop here and had them do it. I wouldnt hesitate to install it myself though, pretty easy and straight forward. You will need different hangers though, the AP2 hangers (2 holes, rectangular shape) wont work, the AP1 hangers will work (3 holes, triangular shape).

Post up some pics when you get it installed

RL1924 · 06-27-2008, 08:29 PM

Anyone know where i can get my hands on some AP1 hangers? Or you think where ever i have it installed should be able to do it? I may just have someone do it I dont really have a nice place to work on gravel driveway not so nice

Where ever you take it will be able to do it.........It cost me like $80 to have it installed. Which, at the time, was money well spent.

RL1924 · 06-27-2008, 08:45 PM

thats pretty cheap do you think a place like midas could handle it or should i stay away from a place like that?

gomarlins3 · 06-27-2008, 09:36 PM

I have seen the hangers on eBay, but they were blue. Changing out the exhaust isn't hard, I have done mine twice and another S once.

RL1924 · 06-27-2008, 09:50 PM

I know the feeling..........any muffler shop should be able to install it for you easily.

RL1924 · 06-30-2008, 05:57 PM

Well i still didnt make the purchase but after listening i think i like the 70mm better what do you guys think, either make a difference in performance i know they dont do much but i dont want to loose either

70mm
