AA or Gintani sport??

TW0929 · 01-22-2011, 12:03 PM

Sorry if the topics has been covered, but really need some input from owners.
All the mods I wanted has been pretty much done, except for the last and most important one, an Exhaust.
Since the M is my DD, I want an exhaust that I can live with and enjoy everyday.
So here are the two I've narrow down, AA Signature or Gintani sport.
I'm not planning on gettin x-pipe.
Please comment and help me decide, especially those who have them.

Thanks a lot

For me, the AA system was already plenty loud. There is minor drone at about 2800RPM.

Had a nice sound to it though!

I just installed my AA Signature with Fabspeed X-Pipe. It is really nice. Drone is not that bad. At low rpm's, it gives nice deep growl and at high rpm's, it screams!

AA

I had this combo for awhile... It really does sound nice. Such a refined yet unique tone

Both Gintani and AA are great companies but I would get the Gintani Race.

I've heard good reviews on the Gintani Race, but I think it might be a little too loud for me

Raz@Gintani · 01-23-2011, 07:55 PM

We do have the Sport version also. It's not as loud as the Race system.

TW0929 · 01-24-2011, 03:20 PM

so AA 4 votes and Gintani 3 votes.
anymore input?!

tightie · 01-24-2011, 04:56 PM

I've ran the Gintani sport. Was very happy with it.

persian54 · 01-24-2011, 07:38 PM

I have heard great things about Gintani

but haven't heard it in person :/

Eugene-TAIWAN · 01-24-2011, 07:47 PM

1 vote for the sport system

MrHarris · 01-25-2011, 03:00 AM

spent a long time comparing before choosing AA. Quality of the build, the sound, and butt dyno all pointed to AA, not mention AA reputation for building quality stuff had a little to do with my decision.

tom @ eas · 01-26-2011, 11:49 AM

Between the two, the Gintani has a much more aggressive exhaust note.

Omar@ActiveAutowerke · 01-31-2011, 09:50 AM

It depends on what sound you are going for. From what I understand the Active Autowerke Signature system is a little friendlier for everyday driving and will still give you that great note at WOT. Pretty sure you can't go wrong with either but I am confident you will be pleased with the AA system.

These units are currently in stock.
