JuJu,
Did you have any of it welded? I'm pllanning on just the clamps, but if the clamp for the tips is showing, then at least THAT seam is getting welded.
I have no vibration or rattle at all.Need to check it out something is loose or not align right....Hey Dock! Everything got clamped except for the tips. They just tack welded those in case any of the clamped connections needed to be adjusted. That way, if need be they can cut the small welds and reposition the tips so that their alignment is not thrown off if they had to turn a pipe to fix a rattle or something of the like. Every once in a while I get a vibration or rattle, but it does not always happen and I am not sure what is causing it. I'll probably give it another week or two and then go back in for any needed adjustments.
I would highly recommend this route for your tips instead of the clamps, as you will definitely be able to see them from the back.
Cheers!
does this exhaust require a tune to not throw a check engine light? If not im buying this right now
Well, I spent a few hours with my 07 on a hoist, wrestling the Pypes mid-muffler system into place. I couldn't get all the parts aligned good enough to keep it off the gas tanks, and off the suspension, both at the same time. I also, could not get one of the tips on, no matter how patient I was. The final blow, was that the driver side muffler "hooks/prongs/fingers" (dunno what you call em') were too short. I don't doubt that a pro shop could dial this system in, and make it solid, but trust me, this is not a simple bolt on instillation. Serious fitment issues on the one I got. So... I'm sending it back this week. Now, if I could only decide between the FRRP stingers, or the MAC. Cheers!

I ordered the MACs, but my heart really wants the SLPs. <evil smiley here> Shoulda bought that house out in the country.
Meh...
I cant win.. its either too quiet or too loud.
Anyways JuJu_Gt, how much louder is the PMM than stock?
Reg - the PMM may be what you are looking for. It is a little louder than stock at startup, and a little louder for regular driving. When cruising, though, you can barely even hear it. The main difference is under WOT the PMM wakes up, but is still not deafening. Drone is all but non-existent. If you can deal with the possibility of some fitment issues, it may be worth a try for you.
Cheers!
y22kc said:I've had the pypes mid muffler system on for about 4 weeks now. I have a bassani catted x-pipe that I was running the bassani race axle backs (the ones like the stingers). It sounded bad ass, but had LOTS of drone. When I first put the pypes system on, it was quieter and no drone. I guess the mufflers broke in some because now there is some drone again. Not like the bassani axle backs, but definately noticeable. It's also louder than when I first put them on. Overall, I like them a lot, and find them to be worth all the $300 they cost!
Its funny, i also was considering the Bassani catted X. Did you notice a performance gain?
