so i have an amuse exhaust lined up in my site, 15lbs is the weight of that baby.......im sure you gain like 3-5hp mimial from the exhaust itself but what does weight to hp ratio in the s2k = to? 10lbs is 1 hp?

 

1 hp in the s2000 must pull 11.7+ lbs.
So if you saved 15 lbs you got a free horsepower and a half. =-)

 

so amuse is a good exhaust!

 

In other words, in performance terms, the Amuse will have a similar effect to losing 73.5 lbs total. You can probably get alot of lightweight parts for $2,000...

 

yes but the sound and quality of the amuse

 

I spent 7 years drag racing a modified Z28. In that car:

.1 in the quarter equaled:
10hp or
100 pounds of weight or
10 degrees of outside temperature.

If you ran a 12.5 when it was 80 degrees outside, then if you ran next weekend and it was 60 degrees outside, you would run a 12.3.

If you pulled 50 pounds out, you ran .05 quicker. You get the idea. I won several national bracket racing events, so you had to know what each variable did to the car. I had a mini weather station so I could also factor in humidity, barometric pressure, etc.

 

yes but the post title refers to HP/lbs which sound has no effect on...

 

what are lighter weight parts for $2000?

 

stop eating = free

 

The weight of the Amuse is ~13.7 lbs and the weight of the OEM exhaust is ~55lbs so you save around 40 lbs. So the exhaust dynoes about 3 hp increase + the 40 lb weight reduction which is equivilent to around 4 hp for a total effective difference of around a 7 hp. In theory, YMMV.
