Difference between Regular and Widemouth downpipe

Some of us have the AMS unit because it's cast. DP installation on the X is such a pain that having something durable in there makes a whole lot of sense. Someone from Cobb wrote a piece on DP design a while ago that explains all the compromises that must be factored in for an optimal design. In a nutshell, keeping the wastegate flow separate from the exhaust flow is better for performance. But, packaging, durability, space, etc all play a role.

Widemouth DP's have one key performance advantage over divorced.
When those pressurized gasses enter the Wide part of the DP, they are allowed to expand and cool, therefore making the gas more dense, and allowing it to flow better gradually down the progressively smaller tube.
Cooler& denser is better. Less backpressure is better.

Too bad the UR unit is welded bent SS piping. Welds seem to fail. If it's not the welds, it's at the piping where the bends stress and stretch the metal making it subject to eventual failure.
The AMS is cast, big sturdy thing that will last a lifetime I hope.

After testing a variety of shapes and pipe diameters here at Tomei R&D Lab, we found the optimum tuning point for the best performance balance. This design will extract the full capabilities from the EVO 10 4B11 engine. The design also retains the original layout to help with the ease of installation and compatibility for other exhaust parts.
*
■ WIDE MOUTH
The smooth flowing design, without steps from the turbocharger. Manufactured with the lost wax process, combines both strength and beauty.
■ 3 INCH PIPE
After numerous tests, the 3 inches (76.3mm) greatly increases both power and torque.
*
■ TORQUE & POWER
Wide mouth & 3 inch piping. Achieve large power & torque gains over stock.
Direct bolt on that retains the original stock layout.
*
Lost Wax casting process for maximum durability,
precision without welds.
Larger in size and diameter, smooth
without any steps.
*
The larger curve design makes it possible
for a much larger capacity.
Improved efficiency through with
a more linear layout. .

GOOD DESIGN FOR TOOLS
O2 SENSOR BOSS FOR AFR GAUGES
The wide mouth was designed to be easy to install with the general common work tools.
The mouting boss is an M18, which makes it easy to fit the AFR sensor. Comes with a blind plug to seal the hole when not in use.

FLEXIBLE PIPE DESIGN
MIKALOR HIGH GRADE BANDS
Easy to install with minimal risks to cracking the stainless steel exhaust manifolds from vibrations.
The Supra Bands made by MIKALOR is what we have chosen to use, since they maintain the strongest torque to secure a proper strong connection. We also used Nejiname bolts.
