Post some pics and a vid when you get a chance. Glad to hear you didn't feel any power reductions!

Any one in Tampa have the HKS? Would like to see it prior to spending the cash.

from what i've heard the HKS is the best sounding exhaust out there for the s2000. unfortunately it's piping is the same size as stock or smaller. but BEST SOUND!!!

Sound is good but I cannot stand exhaust without rolled tips on the mufflers. It absolutely annoys me to no end.

I have one and I concur that the sound seems to be suit the image of the S2000 very well. I am very happy with my HKS.

I don't know about that one.
It certainly is distinctive and definitely one of the best sounding for the S. You want it to sound even better? Remove the canister in the middle.

I did notice a difference power wise also, especially in the mid range. I certainly did not lose power which was a fear of mine.
this could simply be a whole placebo thing. My friend thought he gained power with his hks but when i got in it the only thing i noticed was the sound. Hopefully you didn't lose power though.

If you can not find anyone in the Tampa Area, Wait for the FL Supermeet in Feb. I have it and I am planing on attending the Meet

I love my HKS, I had it with and without Test pipe both are great choices !!!!!!!!!!!! HKS FTMFW
