Just found this. AAM just released their 3" X-pipe exhaust that they call the R-Line, enjoy... :tup:

Looks loud :icon17:

i agree it looks loud..haha

:yum:

LOL for some reason I look at the price ($1690) and I look at the pics and all I see is some cheap piping. Then I laugh.. Looks very unsophisticated.. No mufflers? Just resonators? Will be very loud haha.

Needs bigger tips

:iagree:

Believe they are claiming gains of 13RWHP and 14RWTQ with this 3inch exhaust. Combined with being lighter by 10lbs over the OEM exhaust and a very aggressive note, this will likely appeal more to the performance crowd than the show crowd. Price should come down.

you guys do know there is a video of it on that website right? it sounds pretty good to me, sounds like most do to be honest, not as loud as i thought it would be for being 3 inch..might be the camera too though

Yeah I watched it and I agree with you Dan Z...it does sound like most...I'm assuming that its running with stock cats though..If this is the case TP's or HFC's will definately increase the volume

Well, you can rest assured that the quality will be top notch. :tup:

now that you mention that, i wonder what the cat situation is like, like you said, HFC or TP i'm sure it'll be loud! lol

okay, i was just checking this out again and, i actually think it sounds pretty good to be honest, i listened to it like 3 times, and i think it's got a nice tone to it, not raspy(of course we dont know the cat situation though)..

but i have a question, where exactly is it an X pipe design?? it honestly looks like a true dual to me..??

I like the looks of it. Probably be a great setup for TT.

Sounds loud too

good exhaust for track days if you wear ear plugs.

Pricing does not make any sense. Considering instead of any mufflers they are using resonators which are cheaper. Going from 2.5 to 3 inch piping does not equal $600.

Hell, you could probably print that picture out and take it to an exhaust shop (a good shop) with a mandrill bender and get that system made for less than half of what they are asking.

:iagree:

Exactly.. Building an exhaust is not rocket science, yes some thought needs to be put into it but nothing too crazy.. This exhaust looks something that would go on a mustang. It really looks identical to my friends Borla Stinger exhaust on his cobra.. Which he paid less than 700 for brand new.

I've ran sever brand name exhausts on my G(HKS, Stillen, Megan racing, X02{HKS knockoff}).. All were cool until I designed my own using the Stillen X pipe.. Had a guy use that X pipe and build the rest using mandrel bends that dumped into two canister mufflers.. Not only did it sound better than any of the above it exhausts, but it was way cheaper and had the most gains.
