I went to Performance Autoworks today to have my new exhaust & decat fitted. While it was there I asked for a once over, some fluid changes and a geo check/tweak.
The exhaust quality is top notch, no fitting issues at all and it sits really well on the bumper.
Noise wise it's excellent. The video makes it sound much louder and raspier than what it actually is. Sat on the motorway there is no drone unless doing between 2-3k rpm, so just sit in a slightly higher gear. But doing 70-80 mph it's fine and not too different than stock. At normal revs when making progress there is a smooth kind of tone to it, almost like the car has more than 4 cylinders. I'm very pleased with it.
I'll try and get more pics over the next few weeks.
The old exhaust:
Here's a quick vid I did tonight.

What a fantastic sound. I also like the slurping noise from the intake whilst changing gear.
Looks like a great purchase and I'm sure there will be plenty of smiles had.
Was your old system a Mugen Twinloop? Or is the OEM exhaust for the S2000 a similar design?

the OEM S2000 exhaust has a design similar to the twinloop mugen single exits for type Rs.

If you want an idea of how loud a 70mm J's Racing system will be rjkoneill, I have videos in my EP3 thread that may put you off buying one if you don't want loud.

Thanks all.
The mic was hanging over the rear bumper, so it'll be the sound of what I presume to be back pressure on the exhaust that I can hear when I lift off the throttle.
As above, it's the OEM system. I will need to go and pick it up.
Rich, the RM01A is JASMA certified, 70mm will be much louder! My exhaust sounds louder in the vids compared to what it is, need to sort a PS RR day again mate and you can have a listen in the flesh.
