Interest Thread: AAM Competition 2.5" H-Pipe + Res Mid-pipe to shorties or stock rear

[370Z Purist]

I'll be on the test pipes and Y pipe this weekend. I don't have a particularly great camera but it should be accurate to sound, just not the volume.

I'm glad to see more interest, because I am really looking forward to this.

The only problem with running three options is that I'd love to run each one for a week to see how I like them, I do want loud but I don't want insane, 100+ db sound that ends up giving me three tickets on noise violations. Plus, carrying that much product would probably increase the end price of each product. Not to mention I'd have to buy all three sections at some point, and if I like the non-resonated version but then try the 12" and then the 18", I'd have to sell the subsequent one to try the next one... then I'd have to sell the 18" to go back to the nonresonated version! I'd love to test these out too, but I don't exactly live very close to Maryland, not to mention it's going to snow here not that long from now.

I would suggest something like the motordyne Y pipe which has the interchangeable rear sections and incorporate those into the midpipe or H pipe, but that introduces more flanges, gaskets, and other things that can break... not to mention more development cost.

Decisions, decisions.

the motordyne set up is great if you run the stock midpipe as it Y's together. Our H-pipe ends with 2 outlets not 1, making it a true dual set up. If anything the resonator option should be 18" for those running short tails, then no resonator or 12" resonators for those that will be running the rear section. But these are all ideas and I appreciate everyone's input!

so with that being said there will be TWO pipes coming off the H-pipe as pictured before. the midpipes will have TWO resonators (1 on each pipe)

I could do the 18" section for the street and swap out for the nonresonated for track/autoX use. Would be convenient.

I meant that you could have "bolt on" resonators along the same vein as the motordyne, that is, you have a removable/interchangeable section(s) on the H pipe. Take off the two resonated sections, replace with straight sections. As previously stated this only introduces problems at the gain of convenience; you'll have more flanges, more gaskets that could fail, more bolts/nuts that could rust shut, etc.

Also, that H pipe comes together, so isn't it not a true dual (splitting hairs here) because you don't have individual pipes for each bank of cylinders?

I feel like I'm just trolling now so I'm just gonna wait for short tail catback updates.

I like your ideas a lot but from a production standpoint that will be way too much, we then would have to make straight pipes for both 12" and 18" sections, this then would mean you would have 2 extra flanges on EACH side that really isn't necessary but only to be able to swap out your resonators.

Our H-pipe has 2 outlets, and that 1 short connector towards the end. That's suppose to help cancel out and resonate some exhaust frequencies.

Just to make it super clear, here is the pic again

this top side is where it will connect to your stock cat/hfc/tp/etc

this bottom side is where we will begin to make the midpipe to connect to your short tails/oem rear section

here is a picture of motordynes xyz pipe with the straight pipe option

as you can see it goes from 2 pipes into 1, and exits out of 1. This is not considered a true dual here

the h-pipe and motordynes xyz pipe is the exact same replacement. There's goes from 2 inlets to 1 outlet, ours goes from 2 inlets to 2 outlets.


the midpipe has not been built yet!!
sorry I feel like I'm confusing a lot of people here

I may have interest in h-pipe with 18" resonator mid pipe to connect to my oem nismo muffler.
