2003 Honda S2000 Ap1 Skunk2 Exhaust

The Skunk2 Racing cat-back exhaust system is constructed with T-304 stainless steel mandrel bent tubing to ensure maximum flow over the factory unit. Designed as a true cat-back exhaust system for the Honda S2000. The Skunk2 Mega Power exhaust features dual 110mm diameter polished tips with an acid etched Mega Power badge and a serialized nameplate.

While the installation of the new exhaust was a simple procedure, the removal of the factory exhaust required us to spray the rubber exhaust bushings with plenty of grease. The S2000's one-piece exhaust design is a nightmare if attempting to remove the unit on your own. Receiving some assistance when removing the exhaust can help speed up the process.

The Skunk2 Mega Power Exhaust quickly turned our frown upside down after pulling numerous dyno pulls to ensure our new found numbers were indeed not a fluke in power gains. Peak output over our baseline run netted an increase of 11.7 hp and 7.5 lb-ft of torque by simply bolting on the new exhaust system. Dyno graphs show a consistent five horsepower pickup from 4000 to 6400rpm. Torque numbers were also improved throughout the power band as a solid 7 lb-ft of torque was maintained until redline.
