Pypes Exhaust
This was a "Bolt in catback" system,has anyone on here ever had or heard these mufflers on a mustang,if so did they sound terrible?Because mine do,plus the tailpipes do not fit properly,any info would be appreciated!!!! I will post pics of this mess later..

The Pypes Violators sounded pretty mean on a 5.0, but i think they sound like shit on a 4.6

Since I can never keep up with what you own What did you install these on?
Personally I have always stayed away because they were a 'cheap' exhaust setup |

i know its not the catback but i had the o/r x-pipe on my silver gt it fit fairly well for the price drivers side tube was maybe a 1/4 in longer than the stock h that was my only complaint

I've got a set of their starter tubes on the vert and they were fine.
. . . of course, there's not a whole lot you can mess up on an 18" piece of slightly bent pipe.

I've never considered them "cheap" A guy I work with has a Pypes catback on his new challenger and it sounds good but he still has cats on the car so that will make a difference and they have different series that range from kinda loud to really loud. I think I might go with x-pipe and macs on the firebird.

Sorry Lee,These are on my lx with a stock engine,their X pipe fits nicely,but the rest is crap,the hangers are wrong,one tailpipe is 6in too long the other is too short plus they both have a lot of welding slag splattered all over them.

These are on a stock 5.0.These sound like a "Glasspack full of water",so I turned them around backwards and still sounds the same.I've never heard a muffler sound this terrible,and I've had Mac,Flowmaster,Flowtech and magnaflow mufflers.

I've read on the corral,and a couple of other sites, of quite a few people having fitment issues with them on Foxes.
