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

Doesn't seem worth it to me.
with Breden. I would have bought the HKS one but heard it decreases HP. So instead I just purchased a Spugen single. Extreme HP gains. I'm lovin it.

where are the dyno sheets showing power loss?? I admit, I didnt really feel a gain, but nor did I feel a loss, if it was a gain or loss it was very minimal, but not enough to be felt, show me some dyno sheets

It feels about the same to me. Whether it's a little higher, lower, or the same power as stock doesn't really matter...the glorious sound and great looks make it worthwhile.

HKS stands for Hasegawa-san, Kitagawa-san, + funding from Sigma Automotive.

From HKSUSA.com:

Led by Hiroyuki Hasegawa, a former engineer for Yamaha Motor Company, and his partner Mr.Kitagawa, the two secured a capital infusion from Sigma Automotive Co., Ltd. (hence the name

I've had an HKS on my car now for almost 4 years. I think it's one of the best sounding but also the best looking exhuasts for the S2000. I love the way the mufflers are slightly angled up in the back. These pics kinda suck, but here ya go!

I've never had the HKS so why would i have dyno sheets. I also stated that i "heard" it decreases hp. I "heard" this from multiple ppl. But since you have the exhaust, why not just go dyno your own car?
