S2000 Titanium Exhaust with OEM Tips

[@FourTheWheels]

John, appreciate you bringing us along for your “science experiments”! Awesome creativity and ingenuity!

[@LHTPerformance]

Thanks watching and being apart Of it.

[@OlManWillard]

I’m so in for the intake testing. That’s one thing I miss the most about the forums is the diy test and tune and the component dyno shootouts. On every daily I’ve ever had, the two things I make sure I do is see if there are ways to make a more free flowing intake and exhaust without sacrificing drivability. Mostly on Hondas but I recently built a scoop very similar to yours on my 2011 Silverado 😂 No data but I just feel like it HAS to be letting in cooler air!

[@LHTPerformance]

I agree. I’d like to do more testing and get more detailed but unfortunately I can’t get paid for the massive amount time involved. Not to mention I can only do so many ‘ errands’ lol Hopefully we can this channel to 100k and it will start paying for that kind of content. I love geek out to testing and learning while sharing it.

[@renardthefox3176]

That's OEM A+. Awesome work. I really feel involved. Waiting for the next part. Thank you very much for what you do for us.

[@LHTPerformance]

Thanks for the watching. Hopefully it inspires others to tinker and learn too.

[@renardthefox3176]

@LHTPerformance Definitely. Fun fact, I saw once a similar cold air induction kit from a European S2000 owner, this kit was just for a short period back then available. If I find the pictures again, I will forward them to you for reference and improvement. I can't say how much I love and enjoy your work.

[@kyledurning]

If you want a bettter test hook up a shop vac to the air box and draw a vacuum, then spray. This will simulate an engine better.

[@bvward]

Was thinking the same...

[@LHTPerformance]

Good idea. I will be testing in some really heavy rain too.

[@kyledurning]

@@LHTPerformance at least with shopvac you dont have to worry about hydro locking. Those engines are starting to get rare.

[@tmango78]

Good stuff! Looking forward to seeing the finished product and results

[@jamesborek8125]

Amazing work as always LHT! Someday when I win the lottery I never play I'll get my daily GD3 Fit down for a titanium exhaust and tune! Keep up the spectacular work!

[@johnbryan911a]

I had an GM oem Z06 titanium exhaust on my base convertible C5 Corvette I owned, and it was one of the nicest bolt-on parts I've ever put on a car (in my opinion). Titanium is the perfect material for an exhaust application in both looks and function. However, you are creating your own pieces. You are a true artist John.

[@LHTPerformance]

Thanks so much. We built some X pipes for C6 and C7s if you look through our channel. We love titanium, it’s a little pricey but worth it IMO

[@jchi778]

Can't wait to see some header testing on power and sound.

[@kennystwo7873]

These types of video push people to try new things. Nice job. Can’t wait to see dyno and real world test.

[@LHTPerformance]

This is the kind of testing I used to do back in the day, it’s kind of fun to experiment

[@t-money10]

So awesome for the s2k community thank you guys

[@muasboy]

Im so excited for the intake scoop. Im actually thinking about designing a scoop for the 94-01 integras. Love the channel.

[@LHTPerformance]

It actually works better than expected. I show the testing in Part 3. I spent about 4 hours testing it.

[@muasboy]

@@LHTPerformance cant wait for part 3. 👍 thanks for all the amazing content

[@naturalsr405]

Do you have pricing on an exhaust system yet? Looks so good

[@mariofabry5536]

Congrats on another great video. I can't wait to see the finished product

[@tonymartucci7097]

Nice vid - fun to watch

[@ag92oo4]

I love your vision and where your going with this

[@andre82s2k]

Very interesting in the header result

[@yeedle79]

Ugh.... I've been waiting for you to drop this exhaust since you mentioned it in one of your previous videos. I've never wanted to put an aftermarket exhaust on my S because the OEM tips are the only ones that look good to me. It could make zero hp difference and I'll still buy it for the weight savings and OEM tips :D

[@bvward]

John, congrats on 70k! Enjoy your New Year's! I'm thinking Pimm's Cup☺

[@LHTPerformance]

Thanks so much , feels like a journey.

[@4lifers981]

love that intake mod, definitely interested

[@VottyS]

I’m starting to think these LHT guys know what they’re doing! 😮

[@Hondatsun_Dan]

Such priceless RnD. Waiting on pins n needles to see what comes out commercially avsilable to your consumers.... 😛

[@Rippers-TV]

Nice

[@CamaleonGcc]

brazil themed intake hahaha, awesome work.

[@paulmorrell5995]

Awesome content

[@fast02gt]

It’s all about how it makes you feel, exactly. That ghetto shit with the exhaust out of the hood etc, there’s a level of maturity that comes with a nice build like this.

[@davidvang7411]

U guys are the best. Love every video 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@LHTPerformance]

🙏 thanks so much

[@joshwattonS2000]

I literally have had this hydrolocking chat with so many people. Everyone is so scared of it, the only way I’ve seen it actually happen is if you fully submerge the filter itself. The amount of water that went into your air box, if it ever did make its way to the filter, it would have evaporated before it even gets close to the cylinders.

[@LHTPerformance]

This is true. As an experiment, try getting a straw and put a hole in the side. It takes alot of effort to draw fluid up the straw. I wouldn’t run into standing water with anything. 1” looks very much a lake. lol. I’ll be doing testing next monster rain storm we get and film it.

[@kalmtraveler]

curious to see what your testing of that underbody scoop shows. I've been wanting to do something like that for my AEM V2 cold air intake for many years - maybe 2024.

[@LHTPerformance]

It’s actually working pretty well , even more so now the temps have dropped a little more.

[@DatNinjaGuyD]

Have you checked out the Doctronic's pro-ecuk s2000 ECU for the 00-05. They're pretty neat for tuning and is ob2 ready.

[@LHTPerformance]

I haven’t. I keep hearing mix reviews on some of the tuning solutions for the 00-05. Some of them have random sync issues.

[@MrSeoulja78]

Any idea what that Ticon Exhaust costs for customers?

[@yubercolo07]

@LHTPerformance Hi John, please keep doing this videos great work!! Have you tested this new exhaust with an expansion chamber right before the dual exhaust split point? The chamber will improve the scavenging effect and will gained some more HP. With your welding and tunning skills this should be an awesome test!

[@LHTPerformance]

Next time around we’re going to play with tuning a helm holz resonator to get rid of the 1900 rpm drone. We played with open header and there was almost zero gains. Back in the day I made some different sheet metal manifolds I wouldn’t mind trying in the future. I want to make the stock engine efficient as possible

[@yubercolo07]

KZbin how 2-stroke exhaust pipes work by offroad engineering

[@LHTPerformance]

@@yubercolo07 I actually to tune and race 2 Strokes for many years. Expansion chambers don’t work the same on a 4 stroke. The pulse waves are completely different.

[@yubercolo07]

@@LHTPerformance you are correct, but that's why figuring out the correct pulse wave for the s2000 would be a great part of the RND you are doing. Google gern pipe

[@FawesomePete]

I’d love to see Misha Charoudin take this around Nurburgring

[@andre82s2k]

Why?

[@FawesomePete]

@@andre82s2k it would be cool

[@essentiallites]

Got a question about the cat. So I'm running no cat on my fa5 si. I'm running flexfuel and I'm getting tired of the smell when I run pump 91. Does the high flow cat work well to get rid of the smell? Does it hinder flow much?

[@LHTPerformance]

It works very well. On our S2000 it picked up. 1 whp when we dropped the cat. It’s rated at 500whp so it’s a long way from becoming a restriction

[@essentiallites]

@@LHTPerformance thanks. Going on a supercharger setup. About 400 to the wheels

[@LHTPerformance]

@essentiallites7536 You will need the larger 3” cat with the 4.5” body for that power range. It’s rated at 850hp

[@essentiallites]

@@LHTPerformance thanks for the recommendation. Happy new year

[@DOXI305]

How big of a pipe can you fit in the OEM tip? I just installed a 70mm exhaust and I really dislike how the tips look. I'd love to make the OEM ones fit.

[@identiticrisis]

I'm sure he said it's 2", so closer to 50mm. Dunno if that's internal or external diameter. You have your tips still? Measure them :)

[@DOXI305]

@@identiticrisis I think the original exhaust is smaller than 2", so I'm assuming it need some modifications. That's why I'm asking how much can you make it fit

[@derekb370z]

Interested in this package for my ap1

[@LHTPerformance]

We will be doing some more testing on a complete stock S2000 soon. Then we may offer it.

[@ApexClubRacer]

wow, that is the perfect exhaust I've been looking for. I need one badly for my CR, ran a single exit Gotuning/Greddy SE and it drones like no other. please tell me you will sell them!

[@LHTPerformance]

We build all exhausts to the car. We don’t offer kits to ship. We’re not set up to production exhausts.

[@ApexClubRacer]

@@LHTPerformance understandable. One of these days I need to ship my car to you for some goodies!

[@caseyrenner2061]

Someone get this man a lab coat!

[@Hondatsun_Dan]

@LHTperformance .... so i got an definitive CALIFORNIA smog answer on smog legality. So long as the catalytic converter you are using has the CORRECT EO# for the engine group its being used on.... it is smoggable... and thereby buyable... in CA.... Does the cat you are using have an EO#....and is the F22C1 listed as an engine group under that EO# ? IF YES... TAKE MY MONEY! LOL

[@LHTPerformance]

I believe it does. Check it out on stainlessbros.com Part number 900-02500-2200

[@2010fa5]

Will you please sell the exhaust?

[@JonHop1]

Has anyone ever used an s2k rear diff in an awd application on hatches or other Honda's? Im guessing the gearing and everything else is a problem otherwise we wouldnt see people still using crv diffs or paying 4k for a wago diff..

[@markmartin7384]

it would need to be matched to the transfer case

[@JonHop1]

@@markmartin7384 in terms of the gearing? So pretty much, it would need to be 100% custom?

[@markmartin7384]

@@JonHop1 the front and rear differential will need to have the same gear ratio. My first response wasn't detailed enough. There's a reason people use the entire drive train from the crv. Because all the components are made to work with all the other components, it's the easiest path in a difficult undertaking

[@andre82s2k]

S2k diff is not really strong

[@andre82s2k]

The water test you should have done with a vaccum cleaner to replicate the engine vacuum 😅

[@LHTPerformance]

I will be doing future tests before offering it. If it doesn’t work it will be scrapped like so many other experiments

[@andre82s2k]

@@LHTPerformance my opinion is to small the duct to give effective power, i think the spoon front air duct is the best option for the oem airbox together with cutting inside the airbox.

[@LHTPerformance]

@@andre82s2k I don’t think the scoop it providing power, just cooler air. I have about 4 hours worth of testing so far. If it doesn’t work it will be scrapped and I’ll show it on the video.
