Am Performance M35 Exhausts

[iamhe77]

I was suggesting it was so loud because it was essentially a straight through pipe; ie has no mufflers.. What are we disagreeing on again?

haha, seems Aaron has confused you by confusing himself

Ryan. can you get a dB reading on that exhaust? Idle and 3000rpm perhaps?

Do like the Ti tips

Andrew builds his mufflers slightly differently. Instead of the traditional route, he uses sound deadening material around the outside. It does work, but he just needed to use more of it. Lessens restriction and gives a better sound.

Sounds interesting. I'd still be interest in a quick dB reading if possible

I don't have any gear to do that... anyone in Adelaide want to test it?

I may be able to help out here. I'll check with a mate that has the gear to do this and get back to you.

Isn't that how most aftermarket mufflers work? You need a large muffler body, the bigger the chamber, the more low end noise it takes out. Hot dog or resonators are practically useless.

Doesn't explain the Blitz NUR exhaust

I'm keen on one when I return from OS in middle of July.

[bigkevracer]

Not sure about other aftermarket mufflers, but I know most standard ones use baffles and other restrictions to lessen noise. Running a straight through pipe with sound deadening material around it should be the go if you use enough sound deadening.

I will get the noise down, once the bigger muffler is in we'll work out if we need to add another. Andrew prides himself on his work, and after having the car on the hoist today you can really see it.

Sounds like a few people are interested, so I'll get some group buy info.

I am still genuinely interested in the argument of bellmouth vs split dump? I have no idea, so I'm curious on the pros/cons of each?

[Ross]

Have any costs been drawn up for a group buy ?

[bigkevracer]

Not yet, but if you're interested I'll call up tomorrow and see where we're at. I need an update on my muffler anyway.

[Ross]

That would be great , price up a cat back or full exhuast.

[bigkevracer]

I finally remembered to ring Andrew today, and he'll send me group buy details tonight.

In answer to another question I had, the cat installed in mine is a 200cpi metal cat.

Should get my new muffler in the next 2 weeks (assuming I get time to go round and get it fitted), but I have no doubt it'll be all sorted before group buy orders start happening.

Watch this space

Ok guys, finally have the pricing for the AM Performance exhausts.

Dump/front pipe without cat - 480.00

Middle pipe with 200cpsi ceramic cat - 450.00

Middle pipe without cat - 250.00

Catback with muffler in the middle and single cannon style - 800

Catback same as above but twin mufflers 930.00

Titanium tips as per photos add 150.00

All is stainless steel (except titanium tips obviously).

Installation is $280 if you're in Adelaide, and prices are excluding shipping.

I have some group buy pricing if there is a number of people keen, we would need 4 people to go ahead.

If there is enough interest I'm willing to run a group buy, so let me know.

[iamhe77]

So complete system with Ti tips is just over $2k plus shipping?

I think maybe some db levels and a youtube clip for the sound might help.

Only reason I say that is because you can probably get a Kakimoto R or Blitz NUR and one of Scott's dump/front pipe combo's for that price, although AM's is probably a little easier for SA residents.

Still, very interested in the design and how AM are implementing the sound deadening.

Do love a well designed exhaust!
