I have a 'gutted S exhaust on my 2001 and have not experienced hp loss, seat of the pants metre says. But it is VERY loud and boomy between 2000-2900 rpm. Lots of fun especially under over-passes or in tunnels but I'm gonna tire of it by the end of summer. If you want an awesome sounding exhaust that's REAL LOUD, this is the way to go. It sounds like 5 IMSA cars at 5500 rpm, which is worth the conversion, but some nights nwhen you want to relax, that booming note is hard, and with the top up, there's a pronounced boomy resonance, a droning between 2000-3000 that borders on annoying, so it's got large upsides and downsides to consider. My initial feeling is that I picked up a little omph with the new exhaust so am in no hurry to change it (though the techquipment sport exhaust is what I really wanted, but at @ $1600 that was more than I wanted to spend.) To sum up: You'll love the way it sounds at WOT and will learn to live with it in the low rpm's...or not.
