S2000 - Ticon Titanium Exhaust PART 2

[@garage79r]

I spent many, many years building tuned 1/4 wave resonators and Helmholtz resonators. The factory S2k unit is tuned around 450hz (i forget exactly, but I remember having one in the shop and measured it and did the calculations). Most drones I have measured were between 85-135hz, I'll have seen 150hz on a n/a Porsche race exhaust I once built. What I typically find, is there tends to be 2 typical drones in most performance based exhausts. A firing drone and and a resonate drone. Most of the time, you get one of those with a custom fabricated exhaust. For what its worth, I typically go down 1 to 2 sizes when building a 1/4 wave resonator as its all about the wavelength, not volume. I find it easier to tuck up and away. These days I only use 1/4 wave resonators when there is a mild drone, or even just a tone I or a customer does not find pleasant to tune it right out. I primarily build Helmholtz style resonators now to control strong drone as they have much better effectiveness. I am glad the cut down muffler seemed to solve it for you, often with straight thru mufflers of similar capacity I find one tends to get diminishing results. I think its placement right before the Y is probably why it was more profound. I look forward to more testing results!

What you reckon is ideal place for most cars to have a helmholtz/quarterwave resonator/chamber? Closer to the engine the better? I've seen some attached to mufflers/towards end of car and everything in between motor to the outlet

[@MyBrothersKeeper101]

It's like getting parts you were waiting for in the mail! Easily one of the highest quality Honda and automotive channels on the tube.

[@UncleTriangle]

I love the look of the OEM airbox being incorporated into the system.

[@bigmanbuilds]

The amount of attention to detial you put into all of your builds is outstanding!

[@LHTPerformance]

Thanks bud. Part of being in the business for 25 years and truly having passion for your trade. I’m also picky and want things a certain way. I appreciate your kind words.

[@kinhtang808]

Yes!!! Bronze Mugen MF10. Beautiful set to go with NFR. +1 for black intercooler, I like the stealthy look.

[@bvward]

John, I started psychologically itching as soon as I saw the glass fibre☺ Glad it's synthetic... Excellent sound.

[@Bran.s2k]

Super glad I got orders to FL can’t wait to take my s2k to get worked on by you guys.

[@sakurakos88]

Mugen Mf10 wow, will look amazing!! Keep up the Great work!!!! Very unexpected, thought you guys would keep the V3's. Mita does a great job they look identical couldn't even tell if it wasn't for the Mita logo!

[@LHTPerformance]

Yea, I show them more coming up

[@warrenlancaster286]

Thank you for taking the time to make theses videos , I really appreciate the effort .

[@robertjordan9075]

I’m always learning more when I watch your videos. Thanks buddy.👍🏽😎👌🏾

[@Bted__ever]

I love this build series, also love how picky you are with the exhaust. Granted it's rather hard to pick up that drone you're referring to at 2100 rpms still badass nonetheless.

[@CraaaigV302]

Dang im excited for these up coming videos it dose sound much better and those wheels 😍 dang i cant wait im also super interested in all the testing with the air box and the different siza catalyst etc i nerd out over this kind of testing

[@LePork95]

Thanks God u show us the wheel set up. super keen to see it on the car.

[@joshuasouthoaks]

The only channel I've turned on the bell for. Love the content.

[@Gilligan.Garage]

Good work, definitely interested in the exhaust back pressure tests coming up!

[@arturozarate1752]

@ 2:41 the air box is a restriction. 4 to 6 inches of area may need to be relieved. In 2006 I was with FoMoCo, and a trained Master Technician with SVT credentials. SVT development was slow at the time. So that netted a perfect opportunity to sample performance upgrades from several sources and these keeping OEM warranties. Saleen developed a bolt on 100hp and 180hp kit for the 3v mustangs. 200hp could be achieved after I took 8 square inches from the bottom and one side of the factory air box. I bet that will be necessary here too. Back to the regularly scheduled video....

Loving the S2K content from the UK 😊👍

[@jamesborek8125]

Amazing work, as always. The S2000 is yet another awesome car, that I can never own. I just don't fit. The cruel irony being that my daily driver is a 5M GD3 Fit, which I love. Hopefully, someday, I can bring it to y'all to have you work your magic on an exhaust for me/it!

[@LHTPerformance]

I had a Fit in 2013, I bought it new with the intent to K swap it. Decided not to as I almost went broke building the KRz

[@jamesborek8125]

@@LHTPerformance A K-Fit has gotta be an absolute hoot, and still incredibly useful. Maybe someday but until then I'll just keep slowly messing with the little L that could lol

[@dpgarage4501]

Definitely an interesting build. Cant wait to see how it does!

[@Fackler91]

These exhaust test are cool. Looking forward to them

[@Edison73100]

Liking this, hope it all works out.

[@derrickyi7433]

The journey of the perfect s2000.

[@taimahshu4920]

Love all of your work LHT. Hope one day to be able to take mine to y’all.

[@bobbyhorsman9963]

Great video. My S is hibernating and avoiding salty roads in Manchester, England. Also at £630 / year tax being a 2006 model, if I just tax it for 6 months it halves that pain! Curious to see the new power gains in pt3

[@camlobesvtec]

Definitely black out the intercooler. Sweet experiments bud.

[@JeromeFoster-c5t]

absolute genius ❤

[@jefffernandez6679]

Going to be so good all done! 🙌

[@typedrew]

You should put a straight pipe on the cat section to compare on the dyno

[@LHTPerformance]

We will. Episode 3.

[@typedrew]

@@LHTPerformance too funny. Posted this half way through the episode and you mentioned it right at the end. Love it

[@Fackler91]

Love the exhaust

[@SuperBullyone]

paint job looks great is that ceramic coating?

[@LHTPerformance]

I had Sean do a light polish on it about a year ago.

[@UncleTriangle]

I just sent you an email regarding a custom exhaust system for my Tacoma. Looking forward to hearing back from you.

[@KPad87]

Lemme buy it

[@louisbabycos106]

I would love a Geo metro convertible with the GM 1.3 AWD engine and drive train .

[@beckymiller5951]

Was that a Volk CE28 ?

[@Gonzalez....07]

where can i get this muffler?

[@Tony-ui8eg]

hell yeah! mugen mf10! and its bronze too

[@LHTPerformance]

There not genuine Mugen. I hate to mislead everyone.

[@Tony-ui8eg]

@@LHTPerformance I wonder what the difference is between mita motorsports wheels vs mugen wheels,they look almost identical. i kinda wished mugen would make the mf10s again. i need a set for my ap2 lol

[@rasmuskari7549]

Wow 💪🤘👍

[@MD82321]

Will you sell the current wheels?

[@LHTPerformance]

No. All the stock parts will stay so it’s reversible

[@Jstn190]

Mf10s❤❤❤

Just take the lid off the box. More air and you hear it.

[@LHTPerformance]

The whole idea of the air box is to maintain the OEM look, also provide lower intake temps. If I was to remove the lid, I may as well remove the box ? You might be missing what I’m trying to do here.

[@MRJZA75_34]

It’s crazy how this video has all these views and info, yet so little likes. Smh Press the like button!!!!! Stop being lazy!!! Lol

How much I need a s2k in my life

What’s wrong ? Please explain
