HKS HIPower Exhaust (bad?)

BoostedAP1 · 10-11-2007, 03:32 PM

I remember reading somewhere somebody was saying that the HKS exhaust for the S2000 doesn't make much of a difference from stock and in some cases you actually lose HP. Is this true?

i dunno if you will lose but you wont gain much

If you're looking for gains then go single (earplugs recommended).

Duals are more for looks and sound I believe...

The HKS does sound nice though.

I have HKS highpower system, and quite frankly it is pretty nice peice of add on.
Nevertheless; I don't see why any one would say upgrade to a better breathing exhaust would hinder the HP of a vehicle comparable to the stock system. But in order to feel any improvement beside the added noise level; header + high flow cat. + exhaust + intake = some kind of noticeable increase. Exhaust alone won't do much

Thanks guys, I traded my t1r for the hks. I just wanted to hear my music. It wasn't a big deal cause my "S" came with the t1r. I use my car downtown a lot so you can imagine the sound wave I left behind with the t1r. hahaha

Dyno for the t1r at DBperformance was 208whp for the t1r & CAI.

Congratulation. You are going to like your HKS.. It has 1 resonator in the front and 1 baffle balancer in the back.. so you are going to hear some music alright!
