A single Can produces more DB's then a twin Can exhaust system & requires more baffling to keep it quiet.
Hi Kev, firstly, I never thanked you for the valuable tip. So many thanks. Curious, could you let me know if this single can can really produce the hp and torque as shown in the inserted graph of this link: http://www.off-the-road.de/index.php?id=808&L=1 (the first single can). Sorry it's in German, but basically it's a single can exhaust with 4kg weight saving and 3hp more. I am surprised to see the increased hp is through the whole rpm curve. Any of your observations would be appreciated.
