AAM Short tail is louder, sound like a rocket ship!

I've listened to my share of sound clips...I just installed today. This setup is loud! Good loud, race car loud... The sound can be managed if you know what gear to be in send when. I do have to say this exhaust has a resemblance of a Z06 with exhaust just slightly higher pitch.

Nonetheless, badass setup (I have test pipes too), loud, aggressive but it's def for a select few. Oh and your def getting a ticket, just a matter of time

In all honestly when just driving around normally it's not bad at all I don't even get any drone it's only when I get on it that I scare that living crap out of people hahaha

i still might have my friend do this to match up with my FI CBE so i can drop my mufflers and have full straight pipe set up.

Loud is not good lol.....

And the guy who said the short tail on our v6 puts most v8s to shame is tripping lol.

Nothing beats the note of a v8, only thing I like better is v10 of course.

NOFATCHX · 03-06-2013, 09:26 PM

V8 tone with unique Z sound idle to 3000k, drone around 3000 rpm, fuckin race car at 5-7000 rpm. Top end response it's very noticeable.

ok guys right now i have the aam shorties and im in love with the sound, its perfect. eventually i want to free up power by opening up our stock cats a little more with some HFC's but i dont want it to be much louder. any solutions??? im just wondering if anyone is in the same boat as me.

I've been on the same boat for months..
There is numerous videos of people that got the aam short tails and installed test pipes. Unfortunately, although you get about 10whp, its loud as hell. And I cant drive that everyday.

No one else has done HFC's with Short Tails. I think thats the exact sound volume that I will be able to handle. I have been waiting for someone to do this so I dont waste $400 on brand name HFCs haha.

Here is AAM with test pipes though...

If you do it, please upload a video!

I noticed some more growl when I added my intakes.. Not much sound though because I am using stock air boxes still.

Here is what mine sounds like right now--

hell yeah, i got the same breather mods as you, k&n drop ins and z1 post maf's. although i didnt really notice a sound difference from either. you know i think i may wanna get those HFCs and maybe rig on some sort of sound baffling thing. ill talk to a buddy of mine at a shop and see what we can work out.
