Figured I’d update this thread now that I actually bought something. I ordered a J’s Racing 60RS stainless single exit in the 2-piece model so it can be shipped air mail and not in a container. So I should have it next month instead of next year. Big Red Dave will be un-jankifying my front fenders and respraying those so they look OEM again. Ill be buying another set of tires too. The R888’s lasted about 7500 miles on the street so far. I can probably pull another 2000 out of them. ![http://blog.gotuning.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/JsRacing_C304-S1-60RS_01.thumb_medium.jpg](http://blog.gotuning.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/JsRacing_C304-S1-60RS_01.thumb_medium.jpg) ---

I’m worried it won’t have the same color cast as real titanium. I wish it was no color or at least stainless piping with a titanium muffler. #firstworldproblems. ---

The color will kind of wear off the stainless after a while. Least thats what happened to the old stainless tip i had on the lexus when it had the big muffler ---

More non-exciting updates about the slowest car in the world. Removed my stock dual exhaust that weighs approximately 50lbs and replaced it with the single exit J’s. During a cold start/idle it sounds great, nice and deep tone. Ill have to see what it’s like under load after I change the oil, air filter, blah blah. ![http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff80/killerblackbird/Album%203/8971BC89-CA6E-4412-814D-F1043D2BEADF-18243-00000B69EC881BFB_zps4f6642b4.jpg](http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff80/killerblackbird/Album%203/8971BC89-CA6E-4412-814D-F1043D2BEADF-18243-00000B69EC881BFB_zps4f6642b4.jpg) ![http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff80/killerblackbird/Album%203/1D6CBE7C-C8DD-4FCC-B7D6-4E0D8271308C-18243-00000B69E7DAA3D6_zps7cff7dfd.jpg](http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff80/killerblackbird/Album%203/1D6CBE7C-C8DD-4FCC-B7D6-4E0D8271308C-18243-00000B69E7DAA3D6_zps7cff7dfd.jpg) ---

Changed my oil, air filter (original from 2001 was on the car lol), rotated my tires and tested out the exhaust this afternoon. Sounds pretty good! Not loud at all, not much drone. This will probably be my last time on R888’s unless my next tire choice fits and looks like shit. The tires wear fairly quickly under normal driving and Id probably have to end up buying two sets a year, which is a lot for a car I put 5,000 miles on a year. I’m going to try a set of 265/40-17 Bridgestone RE760. That way I wont die in a freak rainstorm or puddle. ![http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8253/8632418393_1705911cab_b.jpg](http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8253/8632418393_1705911cab_b.jpg) [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/too-soon-junior-the-tale-of-an-s2000/258752.md?page=6) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/too-soon-junior-the-tale-of-an-s2000/258752.md?page=8)
