Is your car turbo or NA? I have one on my turbo setup and I gained around 12whp from it over my HKS dual that I had before it, however the later dyno was with much higher temps when the humidity was insane. The fitment of the exhaust is ok, but you need to remove the lower tie bar and trim some things to make it not touch (rattle) against anything. This is how it sounds on a turbo car...

Thank you , but just remember that the tone is going to sound completely different on your NA car since the turbo acts like a muffler to a certain degree. It should be much louder on your car. I'm not sure if 70mm or 3" has been proven to have the highest gains on NA cars, I think that "versionJDM" had a custom 3" for his car made (similar to lovefab), which made good #'s, but it was VERY loud.

I believe version JDM has a custom 70mm and 70mm (2.75") is known for top end gain. You might actually lose some power with a 3" exhaust on NA setup, and it will be LOUD.

Thanks for clarifying that. I wasn't sure if he had a 70mm or 3" setup on his car, but either way it will be extremely loud with a NA S2K.

Isn't the lovefab exhaust just a Apexi turbo muffler with 3" piping? Is so you can probably pick up just a muffler and get custom 70mm piping done.
