newbie with exhaust question
 

sorry guys but when it comes to exhaust i'm a complete rookie.

i did search you tube like has been said. and came across a 370 with AAM short
tails. so is that a complete exhaust system. and just what does it consist of.

and what would it cost to go that way. sorry if this a dumb xss question
but i got to find out some how............

I think thats just a rear section or something not a full Cat Back. There is a full thread on this forum discussing exhaust systems with sound clips check it out.

They actually going into pretty good detail about it on their website.

you have 1499 posts and you are an exhaust newb? lol

I don't keep track of posts. is there a contest sorry
when it comes to exhaust. I will admit I don't have a
clue that was my intended post. But thanks anyway

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction

Thank you for the help

It's an axel back.

A muffler delete.

Save your money and get a proper CBE.

A full cat back isn't necessary if he's only interested in the exhaust note.

Thanks i think I will after checking out you tube

^ Good call. You'll be glad you did.

Don't get offended so easy, i was just saying.

Anyways, if you are going for sound i dont see why you would spend any more on a catback.

AAM Short tails is basically just the from the tips about 2 feet back. Just a muffler delete. They will get you no power gains, but make your car extremely loud and possibly obnoxious.:ughdance:

OP,

the short tail is a great way to bring out the z note of your engine. It only replaces the rear muffler, with little to no power gains. Saves a lot of weight, direct bolt on, great sound, without the price tag of a full catback

I've heard this set up on many cars, and it really is not loud. Seeing that you're in the market for exhaust, it looks like you want something louder than stock. This set up can get loud if mixed with hfc/test pipes and/or upgraded y-pipe/mid pipe, only because at this point you've deleted your muffler or main source of sound control

Hope this helps

I thought I posted on this thread earlier..anyways, I have the AAM's on my car. Everything is stock except that & some interior things.

I can tell you that for 250 bucks, the AAM's make the car sound like a true 3.7 v6. Not to mention the cold start roars. If you drive an automatic like me, then driving in "D" will keep you under 3200rpm and you will just hear more of a purr. When you want to hear the car scream, i throw it in manual and take it to redline to hear it.

Let me warn you that if your ears are sensitive then there will be drone going up a hill doing 50 mph.. & if you have the stock speakers you are going to want to replace them, you'll need louder ones!

I have heard almost all other exhausts on youtube and some in person, and for the money- i think it sounds just as good, if not better, then some of the more favored exhausts on the forum. Find one on here for sale, i just saw one for $300 shipped.

Easy install.

Now i think thats loud.

AAM shouldn't be "obnoxious"

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..

loll........ wtf ghetttto

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.

I heard bad things about the washer mod. Sounds like you should get the short tails.. one just sold yesterday for $250..

Also, this is the comparison to another cheap exhuast setup.. gains +27hp and has a great sound..

P.S Is the 370 much better than 350? I was gunna get a 350 before i drove the 370z

This tread is pretty funny. One suggestiong to get test pipes and no muffler... LOL, that'd be a little too much!

My favorite quote from a cop after being pulled over... "did you think I wouldn't hear you?"

Pumped 350, hooker supercompetition headers, dual 2-1/2" pipes w. single chamber flowmasters. Now that was an exhaust note!

Thanks for the help. I do like the sound of the AAM's
One question if you don't mind i'm new at this exhaust stuff
on the site it said it required the removal of the emissions canister shield.
what is that and will it make a difference in performance of the car.
and will i have to re code anything to do with the car's computer.
sorry to bother you...

It's just a metal cover that goes over the emissions canister.

it comes off with 3 bolts and nuts. It's just a piece of metal. nothing will change in the car. Reason is the short tails hits the metal and won't let it fit right.

couldn't have said it better myself. Thanks
