It's a Gladman Performance part. The fit is perfect and install was a breeze. It was CAD designed and flow tested, so it's not too ricey ;)

Just in time before I hit Sebring Raceway next month. Should make a decent difference in stability at 100mph+

Cool but... what happened to the sexy exhaust? I dig the hardtop, too.

This single piece is very light; only 10lbs. The stock exhaust weighs close to 80lbs.

My you have a big wing. :p

Is yours the 9k rpm redline version?

Hehe yeah, it does make a huge difference in higher speed corners though. I kind of didn't like the looks of it at first, but it flows really well with the hardtop.

Nope. It's the 8.2k version. 2.2L

Agreed. I kinda get the feeling with the top down, it would look ricey / fart n furious.

Looks sweet, great car.

But man now you will be going way faster when your rear breaks loose and throws you backwards through traffic or off a cliff :/

When those pass the traction threshold they really let go, and get exciting.

Yep. Look up chin motorsports and NASA. Ranges from $3-400 including all the fees. I'll be going to Homestead in November.

Do S2000s handle better with that much rear rake? I only ask cause I run .25" on my Miata.

Do love the overall look of your S2000 too!

Thanks. Not sure about the rake... It's lowered 1" all around, so I would assume it retains the stock rake. The car has wider tires in the front to compensate for the weight gain of the supercharger and loss of rear weight of the exhaust. Overall the car is very neutral, even at the limit.

Ah. Could have been the larger tires playing tricks on my eyes then. I've driven a friends AP1 and at the limit (in an autox setting) it's pretty tail happy.
