The S2000 has been around for a decade or so now, and we can say that it has paid its dues. Although it may not be a high horsepower prize fighter when compared to other available vehicles on the market, its fans enjoy it for the balanced and well rounded sports car experience. Today, Spoon announced the release of their sports muffler for the S2000; the sports muffler provides a streetable experience when compared to their already available N1 model. Made of SUS304 stainless steel and very durable, this muffler should be a consideration for those looking for an increase over stock with a manageable exhaust note.

When it comes to ‘necessity being the mother of all invention” spoon knows it all too well. Their latest for the S2000 is genius, the subframe kit is a piece that has you questioning why it wasn’t created earlier.
Rather than bolting the cars front and rear subframes directly on the chassis, Spoon has created collared sleeves that are used to minimize lateral subframe movements. Spoon states that the increased stiffness would be very similar to using a roll cage.
