AAM Competition - Nissan GT-R, 370Z Turbo Performance Specialists

vs.

GarageLine Nissan VQ37 X - Pipe and Midpipe Combo - Welcome to GarageLine - Sport Compact Performance Parts

For the price is this a no brainer?

Any pros and cons you guys know of x pipe vs H pipe?

Anything you guys see why the garage line is so much less expensive?

GarageLine most likely have the Chinese manufacturing the exhaust. There could be possible shortcuts with pipebthickness, quality of the welds, and flanges. Most Chinese made exhausts are shiny. The AAM exhaust is hand made at their shop using 304 stainless steel pipes and flanges. Both are thick too. Of course they use a mandrel bending machine. So you're paying for the craftsmanship and quality. With GarageLine, you accept some risk and understand that it's not on the same level quality wise, power, though, they should be really similar.

Tough call! Leading for AAM because I already have the Short Tails but the 300-400 dollar savings is making me consider GarageLine.
