going to get my violators cut off and have pipes and tips added in their place. anyone have regrets of running straight pipes or slp lms? ive ran searches and listened to clips, going on my 4th set up, violators, stingers, imco extremes(too much drone great sound). is there much drone, the stingers and imcos killed me, the violators dont drone much, but are not loud enough

Keep your pypes violators and get an off-road h pipe. Trust me, it's loud.

I had an 05 GT come into my work from the dealer on a trade in. The previous owner put straight pipes in place of the mufflers. It really sounded stupid. It was wayyyyyyy too loud! We put some 40 series Flows in its place, and it was still pretty damn loud, but sounded a whole lot better.

Here is a video of my car with shorties, off-road h, and no mufflers. This was when I was waiting on my Pypes to come in.

The other car in the vid has JBA LT's, o/r h, and stock mufflers.

The rattling you hear on my car when I rev is the over axle pipes hitting the axle (no supports to hold them up).

In Hindsight, the car sounded like ass whenever I would take my foot off the gas and let it coast in gear. Sounded great under acceleration though. It was just too much just cruising though.

I have SLP's with no regrets, but I will have to reinstall my stock mufflers because vehicle registration changed the rules and to pass inspection your car can be no louder than 90 db @ 3000 RPM. After inspection the SLP's go back on.

If you plan on cutting them off, you can also have a muffler shop make the new tail pipes a slip fit so you can go back to stock( )

thats what i did

straight pipes are amazing, just dont waste your money on slp lm's. a muffler shop should be able to do straight pipes for no more than $125, i personally did mine and only spent about $36 in materials.

its loud

I had mine off for about 2 months before I finally got stopped. With 4.10 gears you cant have any whiny passengers on the interstate for a long trip because they WILL complain. Personally I loved it. Oh and sounding like "ass" on deceleration is bull****.

Take em off

So you traded your mufflers and PAID to have the SLP's put on???? I think I paid about 120 bucks for my stock ones to be removed and MAKE new pipes and tips.

I really wanna go with the SLP's, but a local perf. shop told me they're were junk, they had a guy that gave them the one's that were on his car because he hated the sound. I still think they sound awesome though

I have the SLP LMs on my car. No drone at all.

They are loud and very noticeable.

JBA produces a nice set of axle backs in either stainless steel or aluminized
