Default question for your aftermarket exhaust.

Do you guys ever feel like to switch back to stock system ? because sometimes it just bit too loud between 2000-3000 rpm. or its not a problem. I am thinking go with INVIDIA Q300. but afraid to make a decision now.

I had a Q300 on my s2000, the drones are more durable then most aftermarket exhaust but still get annoying sometime. If you want something that is loud and more durable...I would go for an F-Sport exhaust. The lady has a F-Sport exhaust on her 2006 IS350 and I drive it all the time. It isn't too loud in the inside unless I floor and it hit 5500-6000 rpm.

-edit
also the s2000 is a convertible with no hardtop, which probably made the drone a bit hard to bare.

Clean and polish it and put it on your wall as a design.

No intrusive sound drone with the Magnaflow axle back, yet just enough sound and bass. No regrets still after 14 months.

I spent almost $2000 experimenting on how to reduce the 2,200 rpm drone... Ended up with high flow resonators, X pipe and Helmholtz resonators to solve the problem.

magnaflow is my first choice, but recently is backordered everywhere, need to wait least 4 weeks, and price seems up from 3 months ago when i first check . now goes between 900-1200 US dollars. So finally i bought invidia Q300 on ebay, they are on sale right now, got it for $560.
F-sports is out of my budget.
