haha ok so I'll go ahead and throw in my $.02 about our AAM short tails since this topic comes up pretty much everytime they're mentioned. Without making it sound like a sales pitch this was the premise behind why we designed them.
- When the Z first came out, only big dogs designed and sold systems, much of these were your JDM brands, easily $1k+. Short tails = sound of a catback without the price tag. BUT now with many other competitors in the game, there are full catbacks you can buy for the price of our short tails, the decision is yours. I won't make any comments on quality, fitment, customer support, etc. Your car, your money, your mods
- Simple bolt-on; I'm not sure if it gets any easier, but another perk is being able to do this at home, in your own garage. If you can jack up your car and turn a wrench, chances are you can put this on with confidence
- Quality material, precision TIG weld, mandrel bent.. take it to an exhaust shop, you may or may not get all the following. Does it matter? Well I'm sure to some it does, to some saving a few bucks is more important, and that's fine
- It's a muffler delete, there are no secrets behind our system, If you get it done at a muffler shop, I assure you it will sound VERY similar, if not identical.
So when you value the short tails, it may seem over priced for a couple pipes with tips, but at the end of the day you can rest assure it's a quality piece, no headaches on this or that. Can you save money by doing it at a muffler shop? YES. Will it sound similar if not the same? YES. Will it be up to par in quality? MAYBE. Does quality matter? That's up to your "modding mentality"!
