Does anybody have comparative figures for the Mugen header and exhaust combination versus the Spoon header and exhaust combo?

What exactly is the difference between the regular Mugen exhaust and the SS version?

As usual on this post,if you would have called king motorsports, The north american distributor of mugen
products #262-593-2800 they could have provided you
a dyno sheet with all the info you need.
If you guys would pick up the phone and call the
manufacture or the distributer of the parts in question
you will get the straight info and avoid the
a lot of headaches and disinformation.

That is about as close as you can get to a 4-1 without it being one! WOW! No wonder. Least to me if you look quickly it looks like a 4-1 but thanks for the correction.

Hate to give out misinformation. Any dyno plots or gains Giampiero.

Mugen F20C header+exhaust results performed on one of Mugen's super accurate engine dynos.

take note of the midrange gains.

I have the Spoon header/exhaust and I really like it.
It is a single so it is lighter than the Mugen(dual).
It is loud but can be made quieter by using the silencer.
I ran it a few days without the cat and it ran and sounded much better but the check engine light kept comming on.

I can't say anything about the Mugen one because I haven't seen(except for pic) or heard it.

My main reason for going with Spoon is because it is a single exhaust and for the price of the Amuse I got headers too.

actually, since the Mugen system utilizes Titanium muffler canisters, the overall weight of the system is as light, if not lighter than most aftermarket single exhausts for the S2000.

the stock cat-back exhaust on the S2000 weighs in at 23kg (50.7lbs).
