Copied this from EVO's post where they are testing and dynoing the Sidewinder. Stopped by Jim last weekend and saw his Magnum Muffler for the Sidewinder. Told me to take the Magnum and do some decibel testing to see if the Magnum Muffler creates HPR and is still trail friendly....The answer is YES!!!! Great job once again EVO!
Videos are on my FB page right now if you are friends with me. There are 2 stock videos showing idle, rev to 2,800 engagement and a couple throttle hits on the grass....and 2 videos with the Magnum Muffler at idle and a couple hits on the grass.....all while my sound meter is in view of the camera.
My decibel meter showed 83-84 decibels at the recommended 13.1 ft. I have a DNR Agent coming to my house to verify those readings late this week or early next week, but is definitely within the 88 decibel limit. This Magnum should be very close to production....but what you see here is still prototype as it is the first muffler built. The sound, decibel readings will stay the same....but some brackets may be changed.
Plus, this Magnum muffler has all of the mounts for the heat shields to be put back in place
EVO's post....
Here is a picture of our 304 Stainless, TIG welded "Magnum" Quiet exhaust for the Sidewinder/Thundercat.
The dyno gains were the same as our bullet, so + 10-11 hp. It saves about 5 lbs over the OEM and has a nice deep tone without being loud. Our exhausts are 100% made in the USA of 304 Stainless and TIG welded. We manufacture our own exhaust cans - rather than buy an off the shelf car muffler - they are custom made for each application so they fit in the space available. Both our Bullet and Magnum exhausts utilize the factory heat shields and use all of the OEM supports. For those who don't know, adding an exhaust does not raise the boost pressure of the OEM tune. The ECU targets a very specific value and if it is deviated from even slightly, the ecu will correct for it. Tuning is going very well and if the weather cooperates, we should be on snow testing in 2 weeks.
