Spoon is good and LOUD from what other have posted. The Amuse is the lightest one made. It does not get any better then that.

I have the Spoon N1. It's loud, but not as loudest -- Tanabe Racing Mediallian, J's, and some of the various titanium exhausts are typically louder. Spoon comes with a silencer at least, although it's only good for long trips when you don't care about how good your car sounds (it sounds nasty with the silencer on). Otherwise, great exhaust, goes very well with AEM intake.

I hate to break it to you, but in my opinion no exhaust for the S2K is going to give you a noticeable increase in power. Maybe the increase in power is there and it shows up in the timeslips, but you aren't going to feel it. If you're looking for more power, go with a new final drive (4.44's etc), or at least put on a cold-air intake that helps with breathability and resistance to heat soak on hot days.

Personally, exhausts for the S2K are all about the sound and the way it makes you feel when driving.

you really won't feel a difference you will notice smoother transtions into vtec maybe a little better higher rpm power. but nothing that is going to make you go wow i feel the power. the main advantage of putting an exhaust on the s2000 is weight loss. even if your only gaining 6hp your dropping 30+ pounds depending on which single you go with. the power to weight ratio helps a lot. i personaly went with amuse single. to me best exhaust made.

That's the way it should be.
