Nissan 370Z Forum - View Single Post - Interest Thread: AAM Competition 2.5" H-Pipe + Res Mid-pipe to shorties or stock rear

I'm interested to see how you guys go about resonating the whole thing; the product would ideally serve to create a good sound in people running the stock muffler or those running the short tail pipes. I'm also curious to see how it affects people who have the stock cats, HFCs, or test pipes.

Also, if I am reading correctly, this is essentially the same thing as the true dual you guys sell; it will convert the Y pipe/H pipe/whatever into two pipes (given you actually use the H pipe from the true dual), which go down through the midpipe, into the short tails. This is essentially the true dual product using short tails instead of resonated cans.

I understand you're only gathering some mild interest, but why not simply "bend" the current 2.5" true dual AAM sells to fit the short tails? Mind you, I'm only an engineering student, so I don't know of any issues that would arise from such a jury rigged solution. To solve noise issues, you could vary the placement and size of the resonators until you reached a solution.

Either way, I'm also sort of interested in an ETA, if you can provide one. This will probably be the only midpipe replacement on the market for the Z; G owners (especially the X, AWD variant owners) would kill for something like this, if they didn't want to do a catback.
