Default HKS vs J's 70RS!

Guys, what do you think i should do....

HKS hi power exhaust? or Js racing 70RS? I KNOW J's is the favorite as it is mine but I hoenstly dono what to do. I dont like that hole in the AP2 bumper with a J's but I dont like paying taht much money for an HKS where i dont get any power or anything.

Anyone hear the 70rs btw? is it as loud as the 70rr?

There's a huge difference between these two. I heard the J's once at a meet and I wasn't impressed. It was a little loud for my taste. I run the HKS with a testpipe and I love it. It has such a nice exhaust note and it's not too loud and not too quiet...just right

J's is nice if you like it, but you'll save alot of money with the HKS and it's the best sounding exhaust I've heard on this car.

Until someone shows me proof that the HKS loses power, I'm calling "Internet BS".

Power loss or not (I dynoed 212 on a drum dyno with HKS and PRM intake), it is the best sounding exhaust made for the s2000.

^^^Total opinion, I'll stick with my J's 60RS. The HKS sounds nice, no question, but you can't compare a 60mm dual exhaust to a 70mm single, they're totally different beasts. Mainly in that one is a complete beast!

To the OP, why not compromise and go with a nice-sounding 60mm single where you will gain some hp but not be too loud. If you're on a tight budget, you could check out something like an Apex'i GT Spec or N1 catback.
