What exaust to get?

Exactly! I bought my HKS strictly for sound. So what if you gain 10whp off another one? What does that equate to in the real world?
No way I'm buying an exhaust that doesn't offer any gains, and plus even though HKS sounds very good, it doesn't sound THAT crazy good to compensate the cons.

Are you joking me? I don't know about you but 10whp on S is a big difference to me. You do buy exhaust for sound, but it's just stupid to spend hundreds of dollars to buy an exhaust that loses HP. Of course there has never been any proof of HKS losing power, but I've just seen too many saying it does, so I would say it's safe enough to say it doesn't gain much at all.

I was considering hks hi power, but I've chosen to go for a louder exhaust instead. Hks does sound very good but it's on the quiet side, and if i'm spending hundreds on an exhaust i want to be able to hear it with music on when i'm not flooring the car. In my opinion.
Take a look at singles too. All of them save you quiet a bit of weight, and some aren't that loud either.

I may be wrong, but hasn't there never been legit back to back dynos to prove any hp loss?

From owner's point of view, probably it's hard for one to post up a dyno sheet showing loss of power from the exhaust they bought though.

Get HKS Hi-Power Dual exhaust. The best sounding exhaust for the S2000
I'd imagine 70RT would be too loud for most since it's made fully in titanium. It is one of the lightest and will yield one of the highest gains out there though. I'd suggest those who want gains and not being too loud go for 63mm single.
