i really liked the berk high flow cat with the hks. 5k-6k rpm was actually my favorite sound. overall, slightly louder, deeper, and meaner. drone was unchanged.

highly highly recommend the upgrade. no smell compared to test pipe (that's why i sold my test pipe). slightly more power, too.

i think they're on sale at gruppe-s right now.

Thanks for the imput. Jebus, I have had my exhaust for 4 days and already thinking about the next one? Who needs crack?

will there be any drone if i remove the resenator between the canisters?

currently i have a custom single and that shit is comparable with the invidia in terms of loudness and drone and i want to switch to the HKS and berk tp

IMO, there's misconceptions in this thread:

I have HKS Hi Power Exhaust.

It does not sound V8.

It sounds awesome yes and "one of the best" sounding exhausts for the S2000 - but can not say it is "THE BEST"

I think most people are trying to say it is "the best sounding exhaust for the PRICE".

It does NOT lose power. This is a myth and rumor that just keeps circulating - like what the above poster said about "I always heard it loses power". There has never ever been proof of this with same day dyno before and after installation. If anything, there's proof the other way around with different day dyno that shows a gain (which also doesn't proof anything).

Bottom line, it is safe to say: HKS is a good value sweet sounding exhaust that neither gain or lose power but rather gains a lil performance by shedding a few pounds from the stock exhaust.

Here are some vids I took of my car with the HKS exhaust. The resonator is removed on mine making it sound that much better. I also have a K&N FIPK intake and Megan racing resonated test pipe.

i love my HKS. Deeper and meaner than the rest

Does removing the resonator keep it street legal?

Well due to sound no aftermarket exhausts are really street legal. Up to the cops discretion if he wanst to give you a ticket or not. Removing it does not effect anything besides sound so no different really than stock HKS.
