I know its butt dyno, but i feel an improvement in the midrange around 5-6000 rpm. When Im gunning it, its harder to tell when the rev limiter is coming as the power seems to come earlier on, first few pulls I had to watch the rev counter.
Dyno tests show around 5-6 whp gain with this system as kida suggested. The amuse was nice, louder but very nice sound. Mine had the dreaded rattle taht Ti exhaust are known for, and I felt that was crap for an exhaust that retails above 3k.
HKS had terrible build quality, ugly looking, lost alot of power especially down low, but sounded so good.
The fuji exhaust is very easy to live with, cruising its quiet, just more bass then stock exhaust.

Updates for my S2000, having recently sold my Type R and purchasing the S3 I got to turn the S2000 into a more track focused ride.
New mods:
4.77 diff ratio, with new bearings and seals
Yellow box speed calibrator
Mugen Thermostat
Mugen Fan Switch
Mugen Radiator Cap
Mugen resevoir socks
T1R shift boot
04 centre console
Koyo Radiator
Ferodo DS2500 brake pads
RDA slotted front rotors
Braided brake line kit
Endless brake fluid
Amuse R1 front (shine rep)
Toda Power header
Toda test pipe
The car is considerably better to drive, torque is much improved over stock due to header and test pipe. Gearing removes the dead zone in the low range, take off is so much faster.
Hitting the track this weekend hopefully to see the difference the mods have made on the circuit.
Peter at bodyform looked after the reinforcement of the front bar, fitting and paint, very happy with his work. Paint is not exact match, buts its pretty close.
Here are the pics:
Centre console, shift boot and Type R knob
Koyo rad - returned to stock airbox due to clearence issues of the koyo
Toda header
Stock was damn heavy.
Did the install myself, what a pain!
Mmm Amuse
Fitment
Enjoy, excuse the quick snaps. Most mods just got installed.

Bumper looks great man.
If you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay for the Koyo? I'm looking to pick one up in the coming month or so.
And I bet you'll notice a difference with the Toda headers. I picked up from 5-12whp across teh board after install when mine were installed back in the day.

600 ish from JDM yard.
Toda headers were very noticeable, the 4.77 gave it urge, but no increased feeling of torque, the headers and toda test pipe changed that.
