I think HB speed was one that tested the downpipes and they said hands down that each time the AMS produced a better powerband.
If you really want I can try and dig up a thread where they say this...the whole downpipe thing is very convoluted from what I have found trying to search for the "best downpipe".
I am not convinced any way what so ever. The fact that AMS used casting to get the bends exactly how they wanted and maximize the use of the free space for the US model cars made me believe that theirs in theory should provide the best overall gains.
Like I said, if you really want I can try to dig up some of the "Best Downpipe" threads where a lot of this is discussed, but it won't be until later, there seems to be one of them each week on EvoM or Evoxforum.

I went on a complete cold streak as of late...I was on a hot one before...been shut down lately, even my normal booty calls...sad days.
Booze is the only thing that has kept my mind off of the evo, lol :)
I think the lady tanking situation might be directly correlated to my brother getting my back into World of Warcraft, that bastard..

I did stop for a while, then I had free time that would normally be filled with car stuff, but then no car led to boredom and then...the evilness of wow, lol.
I like how the life of dave blog is either cars or chicks...good topics :)

Another thing that is nice about a cast piece also is that it will hold the heat better, and in theory, should spool the turbo a hair better because of that. Might also keep under hood temps down a few degrees? Probably not enough to notice, but thought I'd throw that out there.

So here is the first fully tuned Evo X on a black, this is a very mild build on 26psi...peak torque is actually earlier on this than my red was, but that is probably because I was boosting 33psi instead of 26 :)
Regardless it looks like the black will be pretty similar spool wise to my Red and torque should be a few hundred rpm's later.

This is actually Vs. a similar modded car with a red.
