Is this AAM COMPETITION SHORT TAIL EXHAUST sticking out too much?
 

Just installed the AAM Competition short tail exhaust.

The tips seems to be sticking out too much (about 0.5 inches from the bumper).

Any thoughts?

Normal. I've seen worse.

That's fine.

This definitely seems more flushed. No?

That's almost too far in.

They could have shortened it.

Looks further out then normal, but does it look bad?

Wouldn't say it looks bad, but I want to keep it flushed with the bumper (as AAM advertise it).

Call them up then and see what they say.

This is the retailer response:

"looks normal here, they do stick out a hair further than stock, but that's just by design"

Doesn't look like a hair further to me.

Can anyone post their setup here to compare?

Thanks in advance.

Aren't the tips adjustable?

Doesn't AAM offer for Nismo and non-Nismo models? I would think if that is true, the Nismo model tips would be longer to compensate for the Nismo bumper....sooo maybe you have Nismo model tips?

Tips look good though, as mentioned previously, they look good :tup:

Nismo tips are just a different diameter from what I understand. The tips are adjustable but they only have so much adjustment, I'm assuming the OP adjusted them back as far as allowed.

:tiphat:

You got it!

Contacted AAM directly, hope they can figure something out.

I had a similar issue but only with one side (driver I believe) was slightly longer than the other side.

I adjusted both tips to make them even. So I have one tip pushed all the way in and the other as far out as it can go.

I might trim the longer side down in the future but overall it looks good. (also seems the same distance from the bumper as yours.)

Thanks for sharing.

Did you contact AAM? Any response from them?

These tips are generally adjustable. Just move them

I ready adjusted them to the closest to the pipes; but still sticking out.

Can you dremmel the slots more to allow them to slide back further?

I would rather not. I just expected it to fit like they advertised.

That looks perfect to me
I have nismo tips and they look good

Maybe its further out in real life but from these pictures I don't see it being that bad

You got'em in backwards ...:eek:

It doesn't look terrible, but I would prefer it less sticking out.

Contacted AAM and hope they response.

Mine are just like yours, 1/2 inch out measured looking straight down from the bumper to the tip. They are a bit further out than stock, but with the burnt tips I like the look.

yah, definitely sticking out too far for my taste too.

the other one on the earlier page is too short. should just get the fujimura cans. that u only need to do minor vertical adjustment.

here.. use this as reference

i had the same issue almost an inch difference between left and right, also one was higher than the other. finally had to go to a muffler shop to trim and adjust to make them even.

Did you try contacting aam?

I emailed them twice but there's no response so far.

That's perfect and the way it should be, yours are out a bit too far, but I have seen worse, but i'm anal as hell and that would drive me insane!!!

yes i emailed them and got a response fairly quick, they wanted me to remove them and send them back so they could research the issue. for me that was to costly and time consuming so i took it to a shop and fixed it myself.
