newbie with exhaust question

the short tails are definately louder (way deeper) than stock, but i wouldn't it's obnoxious either.

Wouldn't a muffler delete like the AAM short tails actually cause a loss in power?? I believe this would reduce torque since you lose backpressure. I thought about getting these at one point but don't want to spend $400 on something that's gonna make my car slower. If you do the washer mod wouldn't you technically be achieving the same thing at a cheaper price?

The 18 lbs that you reduce with the short tails is not a big deal because that weight is at the lowest point on the car, over the rear wheels, and technically the more weight in that area the better the traction.

Since OP brought up washer mod, I would just add removal of your air filters plus the 50 cent washer. This will equal to what you want to spent to achieve the note of a $400 exhaust. You can also release some air out of your tire to have the lowering spring effect too..

Thanks for all the info on the exhaust system guys. sorry to come off like a complete DA on the exhaust. just won't to make sure and do the right thing
since it's one purchase you make that can mess up your week if you go in the wrong direction. should have explained myself better. i just wanted to add a little extra exhaust note. since the 370 is quite compared to the 350 i had.

trying to add hp is not a concern.
