AMS Twin Tip Review
Well after spending countless months researching different exhausts, i finally settled on the AMS Twin Tip. I ordered their catback and testpipe to accompany my AMS Short ram intake that was already on the car. All Three products have been top notch quality. I received the exhaust in a couple days and everything was packaged very securely and wrapped carefully. They forgot to send out the silencer plates with the exhaust but i notified them of it and they immediately had them shipped out to me. +1 for customer service.
Sound Since i still havent gotten around to installing any of the plates this exhaust is very loud. I actually like the tone of the exhaust but with most of the exhaust traveling out the unmuffled tip, it screams. It crackles rather nicely on downshifts and i can hear some backfires as well. I have not yet tried any of the silencer plates but im sure that this will be a good alternative for people who want a milder exhaust note. Performance The butt dyno seems to think that i picked up a decent amount of power with the combination of the catback and test pipe. I feel just as much if not more of an increase than i did with the intake, so i would assume ive picked up 20-30hp. I cant wait to get tuned and see what numbers i can put down with the stock cat and exhaust restrictions removed. Quality The welds on both exhaust and test pipe were beautiful and it appeared to be made of high quality materials. Perfect fitment and no rattles/rubbing anywhere. I tried to install myself but couldnt get the catbolts off so i ended up bringing it up to a friends shop and having him throw it on his lift to do it for me. He actually commented on the fitment of the exhaust and said how well designed it was. My favorite thing is the versatility of this system. While i enjoy the sound, i know i can always quiet things down if i desire. Some Pics.... http://i40.tinypic.com/5zkzuh.jpg http://i44.tinypic.com/aut4m0.jpg http://i39.tinypic.com/35k7ptk.jpg and the video. Sound seems slightly off to me. Can never truly capture the sound well through a pos camera. The camera's memory filled up right as i started to get on it. View My Video This video is actually on a camera phone but is a much truer representation of the sound imo. This is a more accurate recording. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eIPxu...e=channel_page |

I hate that exhaust, not that it looks bad at all. To gimicky, different plates:crap: I like to see balance
|
hows the car running / idling without the tune? Im getting ready to pull the trigger on the AMS intake / test pipe / twin tip myself , just a little concerned about running around un-tuned

After going a week with no silencer plate, I installed the one that still allowed the most flow to the passenger side tip. No noticeable power loss, and it definitely quieted the exhaust down a bit. I actually think it sounds better with the plate installed.

While the plates are a funny idea. The option to change sound is nice, knowing that you can quiet it if need be. There is confidence is knowing your not gonna be stuck with an exhaust that is annoying and loud, you can change it to suit your taste.

wow, that thing is loud as hell! I hope the the plates quite things up a lot, if not, I guess I'll scratch this exhaust off my list.
