Peak horsepower is vanity -- cars and coffee fluff. Horsepower where you can use it is more important. Interesting presentation:

I dont know, I mean I hit 9k rpm with every gear shift, so I'm using it. Maybe becuase there is nothing else under it worth using

MUGEN, Toda Racing Torquie-kun and HKS headers are designed for more low/mid range torque/power. The last 2 also weight a bit less than the MUGEN too.

dyno claims always need to be taken with a grain of salt, header dyno gains are never the same on 2 different cars. You can squeeze more power out of them with a tuneable setup where after installation tuning provides additional benefits. Sometimes you get a 10 hp gain for a very short blip of an rpm span and people see that as something worth substantiating their purchase. I would bet against this header providing 10 hp gains on every S2000 installation, so the odds are against you. If you like the way it drives and sounds that is much more than other headers will give you on this car. Header gains are the hardest to extract on this car, If you get some you are doing good.

Thanks jackmugen02.
