Have my S2000 lost it's power?

Using stock ECU mapping when throwing components on, will it actually make any gains?

I got a J's Racing manifold 4-2-1, stock cat, Invidia N1 exhaust and a AEM intake system. Pretty standard i guess, but do i need to remap the car to make this stuff work? It's far from as restricted to airflow as stock. What do you guys think would be the gains/losses with this setup?

Not much at all with the stock cat still on the car. You won't see too much without KPro/AEM EMS with a custom tune.

I hate the raspy sound from testpipes and i think its stupid driving around w/o a catalytic converter, but are there any good highflo cats for a reasonable price??

I agree, that without mapping with AEM EMS or Hondata you will not see to much benefits.
Especially from J's 4-2-1 manifold

Stock exhaust manifold is already great, there's no need to waste your money on aftermarket manifolds.

Most people use Berk HFCs. With a HFC or test pipe and tuning you still won't make crazy gains peak power wise, but there will be a VERY nice increase in power under the curve. There seem to be quite a few HFCs popping up in the classifieds pretty often. Keep an eye for them as they usually sell fairly quickly.
