So I went on a Black Friday splurge and picked up the AAM S Line mid-pipes to go with the short tails I bought. I requested dyno pulls after each mod was completed. Not only that, I had dyno pulls done with each mod separately. In total, I have 4 sets of dyno results. I'm choosing the lowest correction factors, then highest power of each. Correction factors tend to be a tad optimistic.. I'll show uncorrected and SAE values with 0 smoothing. The dyno is set to 4500 ft. I'm not sure if the elevation setting increases power or lowers it, but I'm just throwing it out there.

I don't see more than a 5whp difference with uncorrected values, I see an even smaller difference under SAE. AFR's are on the rich side and have no doubts I'll see more power in a tune, but currently, it's not showing on the dyno. Am I bummed after spending a couple grand in parts and labor? A bit. The car does sound pretty damn good now. It has a nice growl and the tone smoothened out a bit compared with just short tails. I didn't really hear much of a volume increase over the stock midpipes mated with the short tails. The Z1 intake install is probably the easiest of all intakes to install, with the exception being short rams. I'm going to say a good tune should put me around 315-320whp. I think the ECU just really dialed into the older setup and was putting down good power. It hasn't had much time to relearn with the new mods. Those are just my educated guesses. Anyways, I'm anxious to hear some feedback.

First up is a stock baseline with AAM Short Tails.
Uncorrected: 302.67 whp 245.99 lbft tq
SAE values: 307.76 whp 250.13lbft tq
1.02 CF

AAM Short Tails with Z1 Intakes
Uncorrected: 307.76 whp 250.00 lbft tq
SAE Values: 305.86 whp 248.45 lbft tq
.99 CF

AAM Short Tails with AAM Mid Pipes
Uncorrected: 302.25 whp 246.05 lbft tq
SAE Values: 306 whp 249.09 lbft tq
1.01 CF

AAM Short Tails, AAM Mid Pipes, and Z1 Intakes
Uncorrected: 307.16 whp 249.62 lbft tq
SAE Values: 307.12 whp 249.59 lbft tq
1.00 CF

Lastly, These are all the dyno charts plotted on the same graph, Uncorrected, and SAE
