Default Question:

I've been told by the owner of a muffler shop that "a custom exhaust system will add an extra 25 horsepower to [my] engine's output."
True, false, or somwhere in between "true" and "false"?


Thanks, all.

maybe other cars...Stock exhaust has a pretty good flow already... but there is some singles out there that can give you some HP but it won't be nowhere near 25+ HP...

There is no single item you can bolt on and get 25HP from an NA S2000.

Not that such nonsense as "flaming" serves to move me one way or the other, but why is that?

That's all right. I've always and simply ignored such idiocy.

I'm just suprised you haven't learned that from being on here for 255 days. I think the highest gains were from the 70mm piping exhausts which were in the area of 10. But that's with removing the cat also. And expect to wear ear plugs.
