I mean "I found something, not somthing "

Do you think straight pipe would help out S2000 a lot? I might buy this for the track use.

What do you think?

I'm not an expert about exhaust systems, but you do need a certain amount of back pressure to maintain torque. In addition to help scavaging (sp?).

Exausts are tuned for best velocity, meaning one pulse sucks out another . . . dont think of just one pulse needing to get out.

Be skeptical but then again you might get lucky, lol.

This looks like a very effective way to do two things:

1.) Make your S2000 about as loud as a monster truck at a tractor pull.

2.) Make the cabin stink worse than a pig sty in a Mississippi Summer.

If those are your goals, this is the gizmo for you!

I think if you have turbo or supercharger, this would help out a lot. I had my prelude dyno at 288Hp with out any cat or exhaust, and I got 244Hp with cat and exhaust. If you have force fed engine, the bigger(piping) the better.
