AA Signature Exhaust + ________ X-Pipe

jrxe92 · 10-26-2013, 09:16 AM

what pipe did you match your Active Autowerke Signature exhaust to? Post!

edwinm3 · 10-26-2013, 10:33 AM

Catless AA X pipe, right now I'm back to stock rear section but still catless. Got a little tired of the loud exhaust and the drone. Once I start itching again for it I'll put it back on. The sound is just bad ass, but they do tend to drone a bit specially if DCT.

My buddy has the aa resonated Xpipe with their signature exhaust, sounds awesome. Not sure how to post a vid from my phone because it's only allowing me to upload a pic but sounds great in person.

I've got the Dinan x pipe mounted. Glorious sound. Deep and then get exotic like in the higher RPMs.

Love the pairing and get tons of compliments where I live about the sound

Catless AA x-pipe

Catless AA. A little drone but nothing I don't love. I had the HFC version and that had less drone but those damn canisters were hanging too low so I switched out

Yeah I had cats in the beginning also and they did sit very low.

Does your set up drone?

SouthShoreM3 · 10-26-2013, 09:40 PM

Only below or 2k RPM.. Otherwise a set up that I will never grow tired of hearing. Thought about swapping out the AA for an essiennman race but really love this set up too much.

when u guys installed the AA muffler was there a huge eye-catching gap between the exhaust and the fender? i feel like the shop did not bring it high enough. it sits pretty low

You can adjust it yourself. I used the bottom nut on the outside hangers. Also make sure when you retighten the clamps and stuff push the exhaust up as much as possible.

I had this with mine as well. No matter how much it was pushed up and re-tightened there was always too big of a gap. I just lived with it.

edwinm3 · 11-02-2013, 06:42 AM

Just had my buddies at AA re install mine. Sits perfect now.

edwinm3 · 11-02-2013, 06:44 AM

Here it is at a better angle

mike@x-ph.com · 11-02-2013, 11:53 AM

+1 for AA

SouthShoreM3 · 11-02-2013, 06:07 PM

Put a rear diffuser on and it will clear up any gaps!!! Hah!

Great work from AA in he design of this.

Owned my rear exhaust for almost 4 years coming up next May. Still looks new today this day. Granted done quite a few polishes with steel wool because those tips get caked when u got no cats!

you adjusted the height only using the outside hangars? i thought the main clamp by the mid pipes had to be re-loosened and the exhaust end had to be lifted while the clamps were re-tightened

Not only the outside. I loosed the whole thing then using the lowest nuts and pushing up while lining stuff up, I tightened it. I really reduced the gap

I also used a jack and a block if wood to push the mufflers up at the same time
