Please advise! Cheers.

The install was super easy and quick. I would highly recommend this over hacking and welding. If I ever get a slap on the wrist from the 5-0, I can easily unbolt the AAM pipes and stick stock muffler back on with minimal work. The sound can be almost too loud at times, especially with the windows up. I keep my windows down 90% of the time for two reasons... One: because I live in Souther California and I enjoy the beautiful weather. And two: because my windows have 5% tint all the way around. There's a pretty harsh harmonic resonance at certain RPM (about 4k, under moderate load), with the windows up. Other than that, I love it! It's a quick way to turn heads. I ran into a guy with the Meisterschaft axle-back kit which is about $1,000 more than what the AAM pipes costs, and it was marginally louder but clearly a more tuned sound. All in all, I highly recommend the AAM pipes if you're looking for a quick, low-cost aggressive sound.

Thanks MQ,

Appreciate the feedback. I have LEO's that blanket my area and live at the top of the hill (Anaheim Hills). I can already see the red & blues behind me if it's that aggressive. Down hill, no worries thou. Anyway, thanks still might pull the trigger...Decision, decisions.

Cheers,

If I have to take short trips each week. 2.5 hours one way..
Do you think it will be a problem?

Does it drone, say around 60-80 miles in 6th gear?

80mph 6th gear puts you at 3k rpm. Should be no problem.
