Yeah my entire ported and polished, cams, valves, springs etc, only ran me like 3400. And I'll guarantee you I got more than 8 - 10 hp from that head.

Yes but it also depends on what car its for. 3gs is a rip off i admit. My dad paid about $1300 for his E46 M3 (looks almost the same as the one on the S2k) But the car does matter. For a Ferrari 360 the Tubi Exahust costs over 10 grand USD. And its not as if its a long exhaust with the car having an MR setup.

No ? I said it was a rip off. I also said that its not a civic so it won't cost $200. The ferrari thing was an example that aftermarket parts for higher end cars cost more than they do for regular cars. But thanks for pointing out the obvious cuz the whole time I thought S2000s were made by Ferrari.

Yea, you're right, it definitely does depend on the car. See I wouldn't even bother posting up prices/pics of a 360 exhaust cos that's the level playing field for them ($6k-20K).

However, an 00' S2K in good condition can be picked up these days for CDN$25Gs...not really in the expensive/unaffordable segment if you ask me.

I gotta say that intake looks damn sexy, but U.S$3Gs
