Default AAM Test Pipes Installed**vids**pics**

Well I did the install on my AAM test pipes today. The top outer bolts are real PITA's. I got to them by taking my JWT intakes out and using an extension. I actually broke both of them instead of actually un-bolting them. Other than that tho they were a quick and simple install.
AAM claims 14whp/14wtq!! WOW!!! Is all that could come to mind the moment I took it down the street. There is a definate power increase. The mid-range pulls very strong. Its sound like stock while cruising and driving like everybody else, but when you nail it all hell breaks loose. There is a bit of rasp...but its not too bad. I kinda like it. The power increase feels strong tho. I'm going to see if I can hit up the dyno tomarrow.

The test pipes....DUN DUN DUUUNNNN!!!







Here is the video with just the stock exhaust and the JWT intakes.

YES THERE IS A BIT OF EXCESSIVE SMOKE...I USED A SPRAY CLEANER TO CLEAN SOME DEBRIS OUT OF THE TEST PIPES...IT DOSN'T SMOKE ANYMORE.

Here is the video with the test pipes!!!!!

Someone asked for a cold start video...here it is...


warmed up....

Berk HFC's are great bro, a buddy of mine has them with his stock exhaust. Worth the money imo.

I don't mean to rain on your parade, but the CEL will come on. Even if it takes a couple hundred miles, the little bastard will show.

I tried the steel wool on my AAM TPs and it didnt work, Its basically an extra step that wont make a difference... in my experience anyway.
