Which HKS? Single? Dual? If you do a search most people will tell you the HKS provides no gains but sounds awesome. I never heard or read about the magnaflows.

Yeah i haven't heard much about the magnaflow. I am sure its an ok exhaust since they are a good company. On the HKS the dual sounds nice but no gains, single is loud and probably drones if you don't have a test pipe.

The HKS Hi-Power single drones like a beast. My friend has one and I can't stand it!

magnaflow is really not that common on s2000's, they specialize more towards trucks and v8's, they have an exhaust for the s2000 but never heard much from it but i do remember bumping into a video of some guy with a Suzuka Blue S but it sounded pretty much stock, the only thing differece is that the tips are a little bit more wider than the AP1 exhaust and maybe the same weight to, but dont quote me on that.

i'm looking for dual. seems like hks is a clear winner. i tried to listen to their sound on youtube, but really can't get much out of it. it's hard to judge through video, even different videos on the same exhaust sound different.

Went from Berk 3in to invidia n1 to invidia q300 to stock and now to HKS and it if by far the best of everything I had. Berk was too raspy but had amazing gains. N1 made my head shake from drone. Q300 was loud as HELL at WOT and some minor drone with a berk HFC but liked it. And the HKS's only flaw is absolutely no power gains, but sounds absolutely amazing with no drone whatsoever, IMOP the best sounding exhaust on the market. Not to mention the quality is superb in terms of fitment. Hope this helps -Jayme
