Edmunds Project Evo X dyno comparison of AMS exhausts

Dyno comparison of the AMS twin-tip exhaust and the AMS single exit exhaust for the Evo X: linky poo

And before you ask why that dyno reads so low, go here.

I would like to see the dual exit installed on the vehicle. It looks fresh to me. I'm sure it will be pricey.

I'm wondering whether 4 db differential between the single and dual AMS is really a significant reduction in sound. What are the db levels with the OEM dual? For it is this differential that will determine whether you are pulled over or not. My AMS single is loud, not so much at idle but when downshifting and under boost.

Later, Ken

In terms of sound, 3dB higher would be twice as loud. The human ears may perceive things differently than that of a SPL meter. Different frequencies will have different impact on what the brain deems as "loud". Hope this helps.

Thanks Deci, Did not realize the scale was logarithmic.

i wonder how well the dual exhaust will perform with higher hp's? am i thinking this one too much? it would seem that the dual will perform the same up to a certain point and then start degrading.

It should perform better actually. There's no muffler to go through when you're using the completely open plate.
