Everything is perfect... It defiantly turns a few heads that it never did before and the new tq curve is amazing

I put 700 on my way home, then had almost 2200 at my last post. Went and saw a friend in Boston.. Trying to go back down and catch a Celtics game.

I did 6k in 1 week back in 2004 when I drove my S2k from STL to NY to DFW to LA then back to STL... Glad to hear the car is running well. I cant wait to get some headers myself!

James and everyone else at JE great job as usual. You guys are the best shop on the east coast for sure. That's why you have seen 3 of my cars. Everyone on here should be very thankful for James and JE because if it werent for them sikky would have never made the headers. I went to them 2 years ago wanting headers and they said we have just the company for you (sikky). James hooked me up with sikky and about a year later the headers were for sale. James you are the man. The talent you and the rest of your shop has is amazing. I'm going to bring my car by the shop once sikky gives it back to me.

Nice hp numbers but its kinna spendy when you factor in hp per $. After auto x a is-f this past weekend i deffinatly see one in my future. Have to decide when to let go of the turbo IS though. Man that v8 sounded wonderful deffinatly puts a smile on your face. You should post a video from inside the cabin.

That is freaking NUTS!!! There is no way I would do that in my S2K...of course it has an Nvidia exhaust and lowered on coilovers, so you would go deaf rattle yourself to death when on rough roads.

I thought I recognized your SN from S2ki... Well I'm pretty sure I had you beat for uncomfortable brain mushing ride...Neuspeed springs and top fuel titanium exhaust. Look it up on s2ki, one of the loudest but rarely made exhausts for the AP1.

The S2000 is my wife's, though I drive it more than she does these days (mostly sits in the garage awaiting the day I turn in into a track only monster). She is one of the original S2ki members...SweetJ.

Wow! 59 whp from uncorking the oem exhaust and a better breathing intake. In complete honesty I would have never believed that one could pick up that amount of power from those bolt on mods. While I am impressed with that beautiful aftermarket exhaust, I have to wonder why Lexus did not do a better job of developing decent performing stock plumbing and exhaust manifolds.

Thought I would chime in on my exhaust set up; 7,000 miles since install and still no CEL, leaks, rattles or anything. The exhaust is completely broken in now and sounds fantastic. I get complements on the sound almost every day & truly believe this is the best race/daily driver set up available for the vehicle. Great products and service from Sikky, Joe Z, Random Technology & JE across the board thousands of miles later...
