I bought my S2000 way back in march and have had a huge amount of fun with the standard spec car during the summer. However, now that winter approaches I have decided to tinker a little and am looking to replace the exhaust and install some sort of induction kit. I've had a look around and it seems that the HKS exhaust system would suit best (I think ?!?!), but I aren't sure which induction kit to go for or if I'm better putting the money into something else.

The key thing is that I don't sacrifice the performance for asthetics.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Yeah, I saw the gruppe m for about £1300 which I don't really want to stretch to at the moment. I did see a HKS kit for around £400 which I don't mind going for. Exhaust wise, I understand that the power gains are minimal, I am more concerned about going for a sportier sound at the expense of losing power losing power.

It's the first time I've had a car that I want to take care with modding, I used to slap anything on but think this one deserves better.

When it comes down to it, I have about 1.5k to spend on mods and aren't sure what to spend it on. Was looking at some wheels but I think that would be a bit of a waste when there's so much more I could get that can make a bigger difference!

I agree, I had the cover off for a while and it improved the tunnel experiance significantly, although they already sound awsome over 7k revs in an underpass!

Thanks for the advice, the S2K site seems to have plenty of useful info so I'll post on their forums as well. I have looked at a single pipe option but I think I'm too attached to the look of the twins. As for wheels, i had a look at some 18" katos which seemed to suit. Did look at a car with a Spoon on before I bought mine. Sounds awsome but, as you say, may be a bit too loud!

Hmmm, so I guess I'll really have to go for the 17's if I don't want the handling to get worse?
