Ok, here are some basics.....
Dyno, for the most part, doesn't mean crap. There are too many variables that come into play i.e. ambient temp, type of dyno, MY of s2000, etc. The ONLY thing you say, with any confidence from a dynosheet (that is not from your car) is that it didn't loose any power. You'll see a lot of companies post "dyno proven results"...that's just marketing BS. Unless the pulls are on your car, it doesn't mean sqat. The most you could expect from any exhaust is a 1-2 hp gain. Granted, Amuse and others will post upwards to 5rwhp, but that using their intake, their exhaust and you don't know what kind of dyno its on. There can be 5rwhp difference just between two stock cars and more if one is a MY00-01 vs MY02 and up. In short, just look to make sure it doesn't loose power (and yes some exhaust i.e. Neuspeed and HKS) cost you HP. Also, whats your price range? The Amuse is a GREAT exhaust, but unless your willing to shell out 1500 bucks, forget it.

wow $1500 a lot of money for an exhaust. BUT, if you said the Amuse Exhaust is good i will thinking about that.
You know any site that sell this exhaust in good price?

Amuse dual is supposed to be good for 5hp (at least you don't lose hp). It will weighs 12.7 lbs (yes for the dual). I did not feel a whole lot on the butt dyno but it's only a 2% improvement (as advertised) at 8.5k rpm.
