14% increase with muffler and exhaust??
Anyone read this article.

It comes from a well respected magazine. they were able to extract over 300HP with a few mods. 27% increase. The easiest and best bang for your buck one is the muffler exhaust change. They say they used magnaflow mufflers, but don't tell which exhaust they used. Does anyone know?? I would be interested in doing this to my car. Took RWHP from 151 to over 170...pretty easy to do of course.

Quick adder to save you a search: their "base" dyno was 152 wheel HP, and they ended up with 195 wheel HP. Look for recent dynos, 190-200 whp is the norm for a stock S2000. This is a big advertisement using some dyno trickery, nothing more.

WoW hold on there...our drive tran loses 14% (maybe 13 or 15) not 30 so that would put a car that dynoed at 195 at 222hp. Still below 240...how the hell did you get 280? Even using 30% loss I still only get a tad over 250!
