Proven gains: aem v2 intake, DC header, grams exhaust
http://www.superstreetonline.com/how...da-s2000-dyno/
Here's a old link from 2004 from the superstreet magazine. They show a ap1 on the dyno and did before and after pulls with no tuning. Now,from 90% of the things I read on here, everyone says the DC header loses power. Its a proven gain all across the power band. The intake is the v2, which have been proven to gain power on this link AND mighty car mods. The exhaust is probably a old rare piece since I've never seen one for sale on here or hear about anyone having it.
But overall, I kinda get tired of everyone saying "the DC header loses power" and my favorite, "mods on the s2000 actually lose power". Theres no proof that any of these are true. Only seen proof that there's only to gain with these. Opinions welcome

In most cases, I don't ever recall people saying most mods lose power. Maybe once or twice.
I think it's that most mods don't give you much gain for the dollar.
Lets make up numbers here:
On another car, spending $300 on an intake might get you 8hp. $38/hp
On the S it gets you 1-2. $150/hp at best.
Not a very efficient way to spend money.

Every route has pros and cons. It's really just up to the owner/builder where their priorities are. N/A mods for the S2000, if you just want a bit more kick in the throttle while still having OEM reliability is entirely worth it IMO.
