I had the aam short tails for a while and there was an immediate feeling of loss torque when pulling off of red lights and stop signs. I had test pipes and it was loud as **** but slow as hell launching. I have been wondering if buying the entire mid section and tails would help with the amt of loss but I don't really see how it would.

That sounds terrible, so much for the short tails, guess I'll have to go full on with a motordyne shockwave or similar system

mine didn't show any loss without cats and mufflers.....then when I took the mufflers off you can feel a slight bit of tq loss.

honestly I think it's not as bad as most say it is. mine I feel is that the sound comes on so loud so quick it makes you think you should be going faster based on volume.

yea because theres times i'm doing daily commute type driving and leaving lights I feel like wtf why is it so weak then I realize i'm not going above 3k-3500rpm and it's still loud. I mean I do have straight pipes sooooo it's hard not to be loud.

then I open it up and it rips and at 7000-7500rpm and its screaming i'm like oh yea it's a pretty fast fuckin car lol
