Hello fellow up-stater's! I'm putting in a call for B'spa/Toga!
Anyway... the good, the bad, the awesome!
soo, the Pypes mid's... I've run them since, sometime about late june/early july. Its a good solid system, a wee bit of a pain to get everything to lined up and rattle free, but some patience (which I have little of) is a synch.
Now that being said there are some querks (as there is in everything).
This system is clamptastic (there are a lot of clamps)! While some may be able to weld them or have them welded, I chose to get some high temp gasket material to use w/ the clamps for a good seal. Also the muffles sit real close to the gass tank, they are most likely plenty far enuph not to be any kind of risk... but I got me some high temp wraps from summit just to be on the safe side.
The Sound, o the Sound. I am running them w/ pypes O/R X and I LOVE the sound! They are a little ratty when cold but that clears in about 30 seconds , they have a great idle burble and she lets you know when kick the throttle, and can't say that I've noticed any drone... but then again I do drive nearly everywhere with the tunes cranked and the windows open... so if there is one, it minor.
All in all, I realy dig it. Glad I did it, and would do it again.
Have a good one

Pypes Violators....cont'd
Also, how would you say they compare to the SLP Loudmouths? I drove a GT at a local dealer that had Loudmouths on a demo and I really liked them before I realized their was no muffler. I think I'd like a system that is similar (maybe a touch quieter) to the SLP LM but with an actual muffler.

Installed my Mid-muffler system about 3 weeks ago, same comments as ColdStone, they are close to the tanks & I had to tweak the hangers on the R/H aft pipe a bit.
Sound is nice,no drone. I had a bit for the first week @ 2100, but now it's just tone.
Here's a short clip I made, it has a start-up, drive by, cruise w/windows down & a short clip w/windows up in town.
