I suppose you are right regarding the $500 true dual. & I didn't mean to offend you or the company. I knew something had to be off. I knew they welded differently, but i thought the steel was all the same. I just figured they cost a little less due to the fact that you're not paying for a large name brand..I did think that those who were successful and had good gains benefited. Maybe not for 50k miles but til' it breaks like you said haha...Getting over +15hp with exhaust alone is a great mod. With a price tag of $500 its great. But when you add the potential cost breaking and ruining something, the price goes up.

There was a reason I went for the AAM's and that was for quality, simplicity, and sound.

One of my videos are up on the site. I want to do a more elaborate version. Just recently aquired a few gopro hd hero2's that i will mount and get some quality HD sound.

If this new H Pipe looks good, I am in. & will record videos if it helps any.

awesome! We definitely would appreciate videos. I am surprised at how well the community accepted the short tails with the abundance of videos on youtube, but I can't wait to hear yours! There are already videos of short tails with test pipes and it sounds wild. I don't know how tolerable it might be, but it's obvious so people just love LOUD lol.


To answer your concern on why short tails cost as much as they do.
Here's the break down on that. Sure it might seem like you don't get much for what you pay for when buying short tails but bear in mind: we did all the test fitting for you, these are proven to be a bolt on application, guaranteed to fit, 100% stainless steel, mandrel bend. I can't say what you will run into when you go to a muffler shop but unless they specifically state it's mandrel bent, they are most likely crushing their pipes (mandrel vs crush bent makes a killer difference, both in performance and sound, not that the short tails really make any power) then you ask the question, will it fit? they will have to mock everything up and each time they do it, it's a custom job. You are now paying for a fabricating rate AND parts (piping, tip, flanges, hangers). Is it true 16 gauge T304 stainless steel? And if all these come out to match our short tails and it's cheaper, then cheers to you and the shop. But with our price comes the convenience factor of not having to worry about any of the above, just remove your stocker and slap these on
