Default Exhaust?!?

Hi, I just bought my new HKS Hi Power Catback Dual Exhaust for my 03 s2000. From what I have been reading about this exhaust i have been disappointed. Losing power? sounds shitty? Can I get some comments please. I bought the exhaust for the amazing sound it has, or so I have heard. Is this power lose a fact or just small talk. Please help? Comments about this exhaust please?

It's all hype, you don't lose. I gained power when I had it, and it sounds great. One guy lost power which was then proved that it was due to his intake and now people that don't even have the exhaust claim a loss in power.

The HKS exhaust sounds soooo much better than something like the Invidia. There's hardly any drone and the exhaust is a lot quieter. My buddy's got it and it sounds great.

Yes the Invidia is loud but deep but from 5000 rpms on up its sounds very good. It's sad that my wife makes me put on the silencers on when we drive together. HA-HA
