Its funny how much hate edub370 has on the AAM. I daily drove the Z with AAM and larger y pipe. True there was drone. There were 2 small spots. One a tab bit over 2k rpm and the other right @ 4k rpm. The drone is such a small compromise for the huge weight saving over stock and the aggressive and yet addicting exhaust note at WOT. Plus now that AAM Ti-Tip is on sale.. the regular ones you can get for a lot less than $400

OP if you have the cash to go full cat back I'd highly suggest picking up Tony's FI exhaust as it sounds incredible and very exotic. Might satisfy the sporty exhaust note the Z is lacking from factory your looking for.

Whichever way you decide to go.. keep us posted and don't forget to post some videos

remember, i was running the short tails with a larger Y-pipe AND test pipes. so im sure the aam drone was exagrated in my case. i just dont think the pipes are worth the cost. only reason i picked them up is because i got them off another member for $150. idk how people ar ok for paying $400 for $50 worth of metal piping when u could have something like this:

Nissan 370Z Stainless Steel Catback Exhaust M2 Performance 09-12 Z34 | eBay

for $100 more. being a small company or not having a great brand name stamped on the back doesnt matter to me. idk, this is all just my opinion. i see people on here that love the short tails, and if thats the system you want then go for it. but there is so much more u can get for that much money IMO.

i'll stop aam bashing now
