Good question. At some stage Im going to put a header and exhaust on this car and uncork the rest of the power.

Anyone with a comptech only setup? What kind of numbers?

I have seen 22 hp net to the wheels with a Toda header.

I have JIC'c single outlet exhaust, DC sports header and vortech SC. I have not hit the dyno since I just installed the SC one week ago. I will post my results.

I putting the VAFC and harness back in to see if it will work with the Vortech Electronics. Tuned VAFC should yield 15 hp. I am sure.

I know what your saying but the way you said it didnt make sense. The exhaust frees up back pressure so the S/C can create more power right. So it does mean the car gains power with an exhaust.
I thought a good header was 1000 and a better exhaust then the HKS one I have which was about 1000, would cost more.

So...what I am asking is "what is the least restrictive, street legal exhaust for the S2000?"

My vote is on a single outlet JIC full ti. Thta is what I have running without the silencer, everyday. I haven't heard a more free flowing exhaust yet. I went with a weight loss exhaust since I gained about 40 lbs under the hood.

My SC S pulls on my buddies SC S. So you make a decision.

What would be the best header for a vortech equipped car with the HKS Hiper and a test pipe? How about without the test pipe? Thanks!

Sky-chicken showed 20whp on the dyno with the TODA header.

As for the exhaust, the Amuse R1000 (full 3-inch, no cat) might work well, but it's definitely not street-legal.

I used to use stock header and spoon catback. BTW, I have vortech. after installing vortech, it sounded and felt like exhaust wasn't flowing enough. so, recently, I've installed hks header and catback. - still using stock cat. after installing it, throttle response and power transition has become a lot smoother. not to mention sound of it.

just my $.2
