HiTech, an Aus based company, designed an exhaust for the S2000. I asked them about performance increases and they claimed a pretty wild figure so I asked for a dyno graph. What do you guys make of the following?

 

I really cannot comment on the chart, it does not look like anything I am used to seeing.

It is interesting that expert Honda tuners Spoon, Mugen, and HKS that have substantial research facilities can only obtain limited gains with new header / exhaust products, but independent shops often claim twice the increase.

At least two examples we have seen of this phenomena come from Australia.. maybe the exhaust flows differently down under.

 

I guess I was really asking about the peak figures. They seem a bit low, even with the 'wonder' exhaust.

Are our horses bigger than yours, or was the stock S actually an S800?

 

Looks like some dude got a pencil and just drew whatever.

 

LOL, the ol' lead pencil dyno

 

buwahahahahahahahaha

 

They sucked so bad at drawing it, that they ended up making it look worse than stock numbers.

 

That dyno looks completely f'ed ..

I am guessing the different exhaust flow is from the coriolis effect??

 

ONE DAY I AM GOING TO WRITE A FAQ ABOUT THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!

As discussed before folks, in Australia, the majority of dynos are endyn dynos which will give a LOWER HP/KW/PS/orwhatever power reading than a roller type dyno that you folks are used to seeing in the states. And are not directly comparable

Now, as for HITECH, they are a reputable company here, and do have their own dyno systems. I think www.hi-tech.com.au or something like that.

What is interesting is that it is approximately a 15% increase in PEAK power over stock to catback.

Short of Australian cars being more restrictive at stock I can't explain this.

Actually, brings to mind - ok going to start a new thread about engine codes etc
