So I decided to get a new exhaust system fitted to my car I also decided to fit a new manifold too last weekend with help from a couple of mates (Adi_Sri and Captain_Rosco off here).
A HKS 75mm Single Exit system, which goes along with my decat and this 'J's Racing' (replica) (PLM) exhaust manifold and my j's racing genuine ecu.
and what the manifold looks like (although more gold coloured than this)
Pic of my s2000 and Adi_Sri's S2000
and finally a bit of a video to show the sound (filmed on an iphone 4 by the way).

[EDIT ] - You thought mine was loud... Check out Adrian's S2000...

I hope so!
We took the sound meter with us.
At idle it's around 60-70 ...
at 4000 rpm it's only 91 db (most static tests).
At drive by it was 101.2db, but that was quite close to the car.
Adrian's however (the yellow) one is a different story. I'll get his vid up at some point.
His was 113 db as it drove past FUCKING LOUD

haha - I don't think my exhaust is that loud... I guess it's because I'm used to adrian's he used to have ultra loud exhaust on his 350z - and his s2000 is loud!! - wait till I get the vid of his up

Spec 3's sound shite whatever car they're on. My mate had one on his EP3, there's no real definition to the sound, just a "noise" Yours on the other hand sounds allright. Who's the actual manufacture of your header?

PLM - http://www.privatelabelmfg.com/
They may just replicate proven manifolds but they do the job for a fraction of the price! The real j's racing manifold is about £1400 - my PLM was about £300.

J's/ Toda/ Spoon - all stupidly priced for a few bent bits of metal. Think DC sports offer the best value for money but then again they're not Jap

nope, neither my front bumper resprayed or my rear plastic screen repaired.
Priorities first. Go faster parts come before style or repairs.
