Nice one! Look forward to the result, please keep us informed 
I've spoken to a few people who said it didn't make much difference in terms of nosie, a little more rasp.
When are you fitting it?
So do you have the 32mm mod and a decat? Or just the 32mm mod?
Interesting it says "Off road race part". Hope it will pass a MOT.

Yes I've heard they can just about pass (as long as it's a Thursday & with the wind blowing in the right direction)

If I can get the S2000 exhaust noise just right it would be a keeper for sure! 38mm mod on its on just doesn't cut it, but I don't want a horrible boomy aftermarket system. I could be speaking to GTS Chris.com on Monday. If you can get a video that would be brilliant.

Still looking I'm afraid, 6 months on! Like yourself I've not had much time to really get it done but its certainly on the radar. Would be cool to get our Yellow S2000's done together
- I see you're handy with the camera too.

I have the 32mm mod & tried a decat previously but hated the tin-can bugle effect!

Berk high flow cat fitted this morn at Daytona so thanks to Ray for the use of the ramps and tools
Had a slight bit of bother getting it to leak check as the donut gasket end didn't seat properly
thankfully Ray came to the rescue with another one. I then ground down the old gasket to make a spacing washer, seems ok with both in place Emissions were read before (OEM) and after (Berk)
OEM
Berk hi-flow
So MOT will not be a problem in future, it outdid the OEM
Noise, well this is TBA as the drive back was on country roads (even the decat was acceptable in open countryside). Will let you know after a weeks commute in the city!
Initially though it seems much more acceptable than the test pipe, no bugle as of yet. Building reflections may change that though...
I'll get a mic set up this week and do a few commute runs

Forgetting about the decat, would you say it added more noise lower down the rev range over just the 32mm mod? Deeper or just louder? Any rasp?

Low down I can still hear my PRM intake which I like to 'play' so that's good

This is how loud a Berk Hi-flow cat is in a built up area, in combination with a 30mm mod' (and a PRM intake, Buddy Club header, no sound deadening).
Please excuse the poor recording quality, might give you an idea though. A straight through test-pipe is even louder!
And this is getting onto the start of the

My CAT is "high flow", although I think it was made in someone's shed by the looks of it 
And test pipes are significantly cheaper than the Berk or DMS high flow cats - hence why I fancied giving one a shot 
Will definitely give it a listen next time I get chance to go to a meet though
