muffled versions would be great! something like 92 decibels!

the muffled versions would be great for that price.

I run a Y with TP's, previously, just the Y pipe and it felt better in every way.

younter · 01-04-2011, 03:57 PM

Any one give me any suggestion of either get the AAM short tail.. or go to a muffler shop and do a custom one? Any suggestion? I just want to have the loud sound..to be honest.. I think this product is a bit high cost...

Kastley85891 · 01-04-2011, 03:58 PM

Dyno +

Hey AAM, how about getting a mid pipe manafactured? 3 in to dual 2.5 in

younter · 01-04-2011, 04:00 PM

Yes..I would love to see some dyno..
if there is gain..definitely go for this~

younter · 01-04-2011, 06:54 PM

Well. I did receive a price quote.. But still. Havent heard anything from them...Many say if they going to do a tip option..

christian370z · 01-04-2011, 10:45 PM

So, can anyone confirm if there is any drone after adding the AAM short tail?

I asked for a price quote like the second day they started this thread or something. I still haven't heard anything!!

Edit: just to add on, some drone will be gained with a louder exhaust as you simply have less baffling and material in the generally smaller and higher flow mufflers on aftermarket exhausts. That said, some people are more sensitive to drone than others so be aware of that when reading any opinions.

sweet thanks for the explanation. sounds like its a bunch of vibrations inside the car. not fun.

I could be wrong but I don't think thy have someone monitoring this forum.
sucks cuz I would really like more info. they promised a decibel video

In my experience with AAM the only reliable way to do buisness with them is to call them. When they say they'll call you back, don't wait for them to do so, call them again. The people there are great and they do good work, they just need to do better on reaching out to their customers more reliably.

Oh yeah I will also add if you have an issue with something you purchased from them they will make it right, but you have to be proactive in getting and staying in touch with them.

christian370z · 01-05-2011, 12:24 PM

I just got off the phone with AAM and although nothing is concrete obviously, there would be the possibility of producing a muffled version if there is enough interest. I am waiting on a call back later from them but if you would be willing to purchase a muffled short tail exhaust, please chime in!

What's the point of a muffled version? This guy showed a vid and was very honest about the drone. Our 370s sound great without a muffler but if it produces drone inside the cabin.......Forget it. Maybe they haven't gotten back with the info cuz they found out that it does create drone??? Don't see how doing the washer mod doesn't create drone and this shootin out the back end would.??? Very interested in getting a set of these. They sound great. Won't have to mod my stock set up at the shop I can keep this on the side and swap em out. Anyone put exhaust cut outs yet? That would do both, loud when you want it and stock when you don't. These short tails from aam are a bit pricey though. I can have it done at a shop for $280 straight pipe muffler delete and use my stock tips BUT I won't be able to swap back to stock on occasion.

Bet the Short tails would sell more if they were $100 less.

Hey dude, I see you have the Berk HFC, will this fit on to the OEM exhaust? THX

Yes, if you have stock catalytic converters this will add a nice amount of volume and that is what AAM intended them for: Z owners who simply want a muffler delete. However, I have a set of high flow cats and that would make it way too loud for my preferences so I am interested in a muffled version.

I can have it done at a local exhaust shop too but I am potentially going to be working with AAM on other products of theirs so I guess that is part of my motivation.

These would fit just fine! My OEM muffler fits perfectly with my Berk HFCs and my Tanabe Y pipe so these should cut off a whole lot of dead weight that is the stock muffler.

+1 on the muffled version here.

Just not too muffled I do want the sound the 370z is lacking but I want to be able to hear what my grandchildren say when I'm old so watch the decibels.
