Finally got a few short clips posted of my Pypes Mid-miffler system. They are short,as I don't have the time to edit video, but will give you an idea. Stock manifolds,H-pipe,Pypes from there on back.


I've got short clips of a start-up,drive by,cruise with windows up & down.
Put the pieces onto 1 video,see my post below.

They sound great but I have heard that the fitment is terrible. Comments?

Rich,
Too many pieces to replace the stock from H-pipe to axle back. I've tweaked it for about a week & half now, finally gotten where I'm happy with it. The R/H side tail piece hanger rods need refined. I had to heat up the hanger rods & bend them a bit to fit the hanger brackets.
The quality is good, the tips & mufflers are nicely polished & the pieces fit well togther.
As for the sound, I think I'll keep it. Different than running the GTA's, but it does have it's pluses.
Keeping the GTA's for when I get around to installing those LT's

It sounds great!

How long did the install take? Tips?

Any drone inside the cabin? What about heat issues as the mufflers are moved inboard w/o any heat shielding?

Can you tell I am about to buy this set up?...

Rich,
I didn't answer you accuratly last night. The fitment is NOT terrible, at least in my case. Actually fairly good. The 2 areas that could be better are the 2 pipes from the 'H' to the new mufflers should have had a slightly less angle on them,as the clearance to the tanks is tight, but the clearance to the driveshaft is plenty, I think they should have bent the 1st piece a little less. The only other area is the hanger brackets on the last pipe should be moved about a 1/2" forward. That is the piece that replaces the original muffler.
I bent the hanger rods on mine to fit better. The main reason I've been tweaking it is due to my nature of being a perfectionest,probably wouldn't be an issue to most of the normal folks out there. But, most here are probably like me too.


Silverback,
I do have some drone @ 2100rpm, nowhere else.Very minor & even tolerable for me.I hate drone. As for tips, I posted a write-up on the install on;

Heat should not be a problem, it appears the tanks themselves have a plastic shroud on the bottom, so that should help keep the muffler heat from the actual fuel tanks.
