Can't decide - AAM Shortails / Beluga Catback / Beluga Axleback

Venom13132 · 01-26-2016, 03:37 PM

I have AAM on my car. I have received a lot of compliments from complete strangers. My neighbors also are very aware when I drive my Z to work, I leave at 6am also, but they don't complain. It's usually "oh, I heard you leave this morning"

I also had to put some sound dampening material in my trunk area because I was getting some vibration/reverb in the back over 4k rpm.

Interesting. How's the noise at idle and under 3k? I live in an apartment complex and we park our cars directly behind the building. (Less than 5 feet from the building.)

I have AAM Short Tails on my nismo. At idle it isn't loud. At all. Under 3k it's a deep burble; sounds awesome. May be different since I have the nismo pipes before the short tails though. Oh, and when you wanna have fun, it does this!

After reading this thread I'm starting to really consider the shorttails. Worst case scenario they're too loud and I'll sell them and get something different.

I saw that video in your thread when I was searching about the short tails!

its only noisy in the morning because it revs at like 1500 rpm to warm up especially on cold days when it takes a little longer. I park in a parkin garage when I am at school and its definitely not the loudest car in there. I park like 30 feet from my place and we have windows from the early 1900s in the house which is probably why you can hear the car inside so easily. Its actually not super loud below 4k. Its not loud enough to wake people up unless they are super sensitive sleepers, in that case living in an apartment wasnt a good idea because people are noisy. I used a dB meeter on my iphone and was getting like 98dB at 90mph on the highway (raido off windows up). But even then a lot of that noise is just the tires. These cars have a lot of road noise in general.

That's good to know. How has drone on the highway been for you?

it kind of wears on you on a long drive. But its not to the point where I am going to do anything about it. I like the exhaust and for what it costs compared to all the other options I am not going to switch to anything else.

I have the beluga Axleback and Y pipe combo and its perfect. Not to much drone and just the right volume. Makes the car sound alot better and i love the look of it.
