AAM Competition 2.5" Exhaust

Rocket · 06-02-2011, 05:16 PM

I don't plan on lowering my car so clearance isn't a big concern right now. I really like the FI but i'm a little concerned about the drone. I still think they sound the best but I don't want to buy it and then hate driving my car in a certain rpm range because of the drone.

I may just try a little bit of a quieter set up, like the Stillen, and if I find it too quiet I can always add HFC's.

I was worried that the AAM wouldn't sound the same in person and there aren't enough video's to get a good feel for it in different conditions.

Choices, choices.......

if this is the exhaust you are looking at
AAM Competition - Nissan GT-R, 370Z Turbo Performance Specialists

I have this setup and am happy with it. I've never had an aftermarket exhaust before so I don't have anything to compare it to. In the winter my hfc air sensors where throwing a cel so AAM had to add some piping to back the sensors out. I haven't had any issues with it since. When its cold and the pipes are cold they will definitely sound raspy, once they warm up though the rasp goes away. This system also hangs just as low as the FI system so lowering could be an issue if thats where you're heading. Zcarman and toohip both have the previous version of this exhaust where the muffler is tucked up underneath like the stock muffler. I also have hfcs and there is drone, there might not be any drone w/o them but I don't know. The drone is minimal in my opinion or I've just gotten used to it and it doesn't bother me anymore. I will say if I had to drive a numerous hours to go somewhere the drone might start to wear on ya after a while. Maybe at our meet this weekend someone will have a video camera and we can get another sound clip for you.

Yeah, that's the one I was looking at. If someone else had a sound clip that would be awesome. I like the sound of the AAM and would probably skip doing HFC's to avoid any drone.
