2010 Nismo and AAM 2.5" True Dual Exhaust With GTR Ti Tips

Hotrodz · 02-06-2013, 12:04 AM

Khoi, better late than never. Here are some pictures and a couple videos of my setup:

AAM 2.5" True Dual Exhaust
Motordyne M-370 Manifold
Motordyne Art Pipe
Z1 MAF Intake Hoses and K&N Drop In Air Filter
UpRev by Seb 312.10whp, 264.14tq

I have to say I am very happy with the AAM True Dual exhaust. I think the sound is spot on. It's loud, but not offensive. It's not as loud as the short tails and sound similar except for the rasp and drone. It has a much deeper and robust growl that roars on acceleration. The most noticeable thing for me is how quite it is at cruising speed. You can have a normal conversation without straining to hear the person next to you. I don't have any rasp/hiss and attribute that to the m-370 and Art Pipes along with not having a CAI. There is some resonation, but it not hardly worth mentioning as an increase or decrease in RPMs and its all gone. I find that I stay in 3rd and 4th gear longer as its has the perfect rumble from 3500 to 4000 rpms. Its just awesome sitting in the car at idle.

IMO this is as good a CB system as all the big names which are constantly debated on the forum. It's great knowing that there are so many choices and most of all great service. Khoi thanks again for your customer service and a great product.

Bob!! Thanks so much for the review

The tips turned out a lot better than I expected, thanks for being the first to try them out for us as well as being super patient with me! This set up sounds amazing and it's awesome seeing your cars progression! So much has been done since you originally called me back in September! haha

The stance on Tein S-tech and some spacers looks perfect

Question: so the true duel exhaust - it's loader then the stock nismo setup I take it, but not as load as the short tail, axle back set up.

You mentioned drone. The short tail has drone or the cat back?

What do you think one can expect as a day to day owner of the short tail compared to the cat back.

ZKraken, contact Khoi at AAM he can give all the low down on their products. He is a sponsor on the forum and his post is just below my initial post as well.

I have used both their short tails and dual exhaust now. Both are quality products and perform exceptionally well.

The GTR tip are 5" which are slight larger than stock tips on the Nismo. They are removable which means you can adjust them to what ever length you like or add them to another system if you have adjustable tips. I'm sure you can get them welded on also. You can also search this section as there are a couple of threads about the tips in particular. Please let me know if you have any other specific questions about the two different exhaust as I will be happy to share my experience.

The amount drone and rasp is directly related to the exhaust modifications you make. If you go with short tails and do not change your cats and exhaust it will be loud and there will be drone and rasp as you have eliminated your muffler. Your muffler and mid pipe resonators help cancel drone and rasp.

If you go with the true dual exhaust you will get a significant increase in sound over stock as the exhaust allows for better air flow (larger pipes and less restrictions). You should not get any drone or rasp unless you upgrade your cats or air intake. I installed Art pipes to cancel some of the rasp, as they resonated. Also with the dual exhaust you get the benefit of additional horse power and torque.

As for day to day driving if you go with short tails you will get a lot of attention. They are awesome, the thing you have to do is find the RPMs with the least amount of resonance. It is generally the worst some where between 3,000 and 3,500rpms. The dual exhaust is like I stated...loud when you mash it hard and quite other wise. If you have the money get the full exhaust. If you want loud get short tails and the s-line mid pipe!

The are several threads in this section related to AAM exhaust systems and there performance. So do a search, call Khoi or PM me if you can't find what you are looking for. Good luck!

A couple of threads for consideration: My Nismo w/ AAM Short-tail exhaust, AAM Short tails + test pipe?, Muffler delete people/drone haters, question
