Poll: AA, Remus, Eisenmann, SS, or RE?

zeppelin4 · 01-14-2009, 07:46 PM

i cant decide what to choose as many of those exhaust systems fall in similar price ranges ...im trying to avoid set ups over 800

what kinds of exhaust set-ups you guys got and whats the best deal?

<3 AA tips

Tater49 · 01-15-2009, 07:44 PM

I got a Remus Muffler, and my Ebay Headers come in tomorrow, waiting to see it sounds!

Chris-TK · 01-17-2009, 09:09 PM

I've got a Highline Tuning and it's LOUD. I really want a TSE3 though.

dpgrand · 01-17-2009, 10:55 PM

count SS out if your budget is under $800. I love my SS though....

holy ****, that sounds awesome!!!

i would go for the AA!

I'm in the same position as you now-I'm looking at the Highline Tuning (which i've heard from the salesguy there is VERY loud since there are no resonators) and the AA muffler with maybe a resonator delete. Not sure. I'll be watching this thread for more opinions though.

The TSE3 is louder at WOT, but doesn't drone like the Highline does. I like the loudness, I just wish it didn't drone as much at 2,000 rpms on surface streets.

The Highline is nice, but on a step it has some drone.

Borla and eBay headers can be had for about $1000 if you wanna go that route.

Aa ftw

It is kinda over rated. It does drone a TINY little bit on the step when in just "D" when the car decides to shift a little early but in "S" and manual mode you are good to go. I love the tips though. Just make sure if you get one get it welded. Clamps aren't very good to many exhaust leaks I have adjusted/tightened them so many times. Also the little "drain" holes needed to be welded as well. They sorta make a hissing noise when you come to a stop.

I am sure once those things are fixed I will like it a lot more though.

For the OP as a TSE3 owner I would probably opt for Eisenmann in the future since it is a little quieter and you can add headers in the future if you want. Plus I love there quad.

Another vote for AA here. Their double wall tips are just

Wish it was a tad louder though.

Don't get me wrong it is great exhaust and for now I love the thing. It makes me smile every time I go through a tunnel. Like even today. And on partial throttle you can get it to burble ever so slightly.

Just sorta sucks at like 6 am and you turn it on and you aren't awake yet and don't want to hurt loud noises.

Like I said as long as you weld it you should be golden. I need to do that soon. Maybe presidents day weekend or something when there is a break.

I like my exhaust to be loud, just not droney (not a word).
