Judging from youtube videos, its one of the best sounding exhaust mods out there. My only concern is overwhelming drone. I had the original dual shockwave on my 350z and it was bad but manageable. How is the drone with these?

It does have some in cabin sound but it's only because the car is so small and exhaust right there at you haha. Drone isn't too bad. Very manageable for price and quality sound you get.

The aggressive sound and countless head turns you get will out weight any drone concerns you may have

Agreed I pulled up to go to class this morning at my college and it was like every one I drove by was staring and looking. It's the only 370 on campus that I've seen and it's more noticeable now with the exhaust.

My girlfriend can handle it so if she can anyone can

I was giving test pipes thought until I heard the aam in person. I still might go test pipes one day, but if you already have the test pipes like you said then I would put the aam on and try them out with the test pipes. You won't regret the aam! It really does prowl like a v8. Also, I'm a youngster the loud sound is great now

best of luck once again!

864Zbeast · 01-18-2012, 01:06 PM

My cousin has a 09 mustang v8 and my car idles better with aam than his car with flowmasters.

P.s. gonna try to get some drive-by vids up later tonight on YouTube!

Well my Z1 test pipes are non Res. At cold start I peak at 90db... lol... at first it is pretty loud... but it grows on you. Since this will make you basically *straight* pipe you will lose back pressure. I did... so your take off wont be as fast. Your top end will do better though. I'd also suggest a tune. I drag mine every now and then, and plan on tuning next month so I wont run so lean.
Trust me, the growl is amazing. I was at a car wash and turned on... I overheard someone say... "is that a v8?" Hope I helped... enjoy the bad assery! I'll include a few pics of mine

nice! so is there a noticeable drop in torque down low?

Skeeterbop · 01-18-2012, 09:20 PM

I should put my go pro camera on your car back by the exhaust and get a video of it Daniel. Then you would have my video of just the AAM and then your exhaust with the test pipes as well. Then people could hear the difference.

I'm down for that Jon... then we can compare. Did you get your gopro working again? If not we can use mine.

Yeah, I got it working just as you were leaving. I had to pull the battery and memory card out. Then replace the battery, plug in the camera, turn on camera. At this point it worked fine the rest of the day.

I wonder if this would fit a magnaflow mid pipe, hmm....
