Yes, yes they are. Retail on my header is $1275, and retail on my exhaust is $2400. Nothing really worth having on these cars comes cheap.

That's true. I heard you got a bangin ass deal on that exhaust and that it sounds great. I'd end up boosting the S2000 eventually, so I wouldn't buy a header. I do like EJ's exhaust though, but he was telling me the ups and downs of dual vs single exhaust. Weight/Hp diff's.

EJ's exhaust is my old exhaust. I loved the way it sounds. But the Amuse, to me, sounds better, and its lighter.

True, but I've been extremely happy with the 2 S2000's I've had, both nearly stock(no serious engine mods).

I'm very sure I'd be happy as well. I wouldn't plan on boosting the s2000 for a long while though. I'm just excited to hurry and start working on getting one.

Hey cory, what mpg are you getting with the 4.77s out of curiosity?

I'm sure it wakes that car up a ton. I went from 3.42 to 4.10 in the camaro, and it rips so much harder now.

Just driving around town, I get 25mpg average. Its a little worse on the interstate than stock, but I don't drive over 65 on the interstate anyways.

Stock gears are 4.10's.

Tremendously. It acts like it actually has torque...almost.

haha nice, ive always thought if they came with an extra 50-100hp (and torque!) it would be the perfect roadster. it definitely has the handling for it. I really regret buying my dsm over an ap1, despite having twice the hp I think the s2k is just as much fun to drive and is a helluva lot more reliable
