Sorry to burst your bubbles but no exhausts are going to add 10-15 hp. You might want to do a search, this subject has been abused too much.

Yeah, don't expect any magical horsepower gains with aftermarket exhausts for the S2000.

I spent $1300 on a Comptech and, according to Comptech, probably only gained 3 hp. Then again, I bought it for the sound (I though the stock system sounded like a Civic).

Aftermarket exhausts mostly give you weight savings, not much else in terms of HP.

I have the J's N1 Exhaust. J's claim that there is a 10-15hp increase proven on the dyno. I thought it was closer to 15.

FWIW, my car definitely 'feels' faster, although I did not dyno it. J's are a very reputable company so I'd tend to believe them. But I'm just a stupid uneducated gullible consumer

It looks great, and sounds great too!

Cheers,

Why is it that some people tend to lose power when they get a CAI, then exhaust? I want to get the Injen CAI for my car. Will either the HKS Hipers or the Mugen exhaust system create a loss of power if I have the intake as well? Along with this I'm gonna get a V-AFC. If I DO have a loss of power when I get the exhaust after the CAI, will the V-AFC help correct this problem to the point were the exhaust will actually be beneficial? Thanks in advance.

i had spoon's.
i thought i "felt" a little bit gain but i'm sure it's no more than 3 hp or something. -_-...

then again, i liked the sound and the weight of it. (really, take off your stock exhaust and try to lift it... all of sudden you'll feel so sorry for your car, trying to carry all those weight on its butt... sob sob.)
