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

YamahaR6 · 02-10-2016, 12:11 AM

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?

Zbrah · 02-10-2016, 12:17 AM

Normal. I've seen worse.

axmea? · 02-10-2016, 01:35 AM

That's fine.

YamahaR6 · 02-10-2016, 07:32 AM

This definitely seems more flushed. No?

cooltoy · 02-10-2016, 08:53 AM

That's almost too far in.

They could have shortened it.

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

YamahaR6 · 02-10-2016, 09:04 AM

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

2011 Nismo#91 · 02-10-2016, 09:57 AM

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.

YamahaR6 · 02-10-2016, 10:12 AM

Can anyone post their setup here to compare?

Thanks in advance.

Aren't the tips adjustable?

batman_4 · 02-10-2016, 02:58 PM

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

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.
