Default Exhaust with 3-inch mufflers?

I currently have an HKS exhaust, and I'm quite happy with it, don't get me wrong, but I was wondering if I'd lose any HP if I put HKS' 3-inch inlet mufflers on my current HKS setup? I really like the look of the HKS mufflers with the fire burnt titanium tip and a carbon fiber canister, but I don't want to put it on if I'm going to lose HP. So basically, would I lose HP with just the mufflers being 3-inches?

I think I'll do it, unless someone tells me otherwise.

If I were you I would sell your HKS, and do the custom work on your stock exhaust system.

If you want, I'll buy your mufflers and you can send me your HKS exhaust

I thought about doing the custom setup, but it just seems easier to modify my already high flowing exhaust. Plus I won't have to deal with a muffler shop that may or may not know anything about designing an S2000 exhaust. Just seems like a better plan.

You def wont lose any power, but those canisters you are looking at are CRAP. they are not even real Ti. The canister itself is steel, wrapped in some BS carbon. The only thing Ti is the tip. They are probably much heavier than what you are running currently. BUT ...


They do look cool
