When your buying an exhaust your not looking at horsepower numbers with just an exhaust alone. You wont gain anything IMO to call home about with any exhaust I have seen since 1999 for the Honda S2000. With that said go with what you like/want.

I don't think HKS drones that bad compared to other exhausts.

Also, my engine takes control of the sound when VTEC hits (Intake).

People outside my car however can only hear the exhaust xD

I love the way my HKS and test pipe sound . Sounds mean, looks good, and doesn't drone when I cruise on the highway.

The HKS sounds really good, but how much does it weigh and how much HP is lost??

From most the videos it make the S sound like a Ferrari or F1 car, which is what i would be after. Are there any other exhuast with similar sound but make power??

Many non s2000 drivers said my car is very G35ish. Thats only when its cold tho. It really is a nice exhaust.

hks but only if you dont live in a salty area, beach or winter since the aluminizing piping rusts.
I was told they do not make the aluminized piping anymore. They are stainless steel. Please correct me if I'm wrong. I just ordered an HKS and was informed they are 100% stainless steel now. The older ones use to have aluminized piping.
