HKS is definitely no where near the stock exhaust weight.

As for dyno's showing the HKS loses horsepower, I have yet to see one. I hear many people say it, but havn't seen them spit a dyno out yet.

Either way, I think the HKS is the closest thing you can have on the S2k to sound like a 3.5L from Nissan. I love that signature air flow noise they have!

I've seen dyno's that show the HKS actually decreases horsepower.

Doesn't seem worth it to me.
Not true. I put down 212 on a drum dyno with HKS and PRM.

This is why the HKS is one of our best selling exhaust systems

IMHO (I have one)...sound clips dont do it justice. Not one bit. Try and hear it with a local. I get compliments on it daily, and a lot of them come from older muscle car guys. They are amazed that it doesnt sound like the usual 4banger. Its very smooth (no burbling like B&B) and has a very deep tone.

When its cold, it DOES sound like the VQ motors (G35.350z) but as it warms up, it gets deeper. You wont regret it. Like I told others, I would STILL buy this exhaust if it lost 10hp.

HKS stands for Hong Kong Style? When did the Chinese build quality aftermarket parts for the Japanese to copy? Hmmm...
