in terms of loudness the gta's are a 6.5, the pypes mid mufflers are about an 8 and the frpp stingers are a 10, maybe 9.5.
As far as drone on a scale from 1-10, the gta's and the stockers are 0. the pypes is really odd because the drone in 5th gear at 2k is almost a 0, i'm not even sure it drones in that situation. In 1st, 2nd, 3rd it would be a 4. The stingers are a 10 for drone. the pypes have as much drone as I can handle.

I've had the FRPP Stingers now for 2500+ miles and the drone just doesn't seem that bad. As a matter of fact it seems like its better and better in non existent. I used to hear it between 1500 and 1950 RPM's but now I just really don't hear it. I wouldn't trade the FRPP Stingers for anything, they are the best in my book. What a great tone they have....................

Sorry, didn't get to pm you.Here's links to the OBX/mid-muffler setup.It's shot with a camera, so the volume is greatly reduced, compare with stock H & mid-mufflers.

Hey Aircare,
I have never heard of OBX headers. Could you tell me a little bit about them?
Are they quality?
I will definitely be in the market for headers soon, and I'm in a budget crunch. As of right now, I'm set on a Dynatech setup.
Thanks!

Have you tried the pypes mid mufflers? They are basically the same thing as stingers only before the axle and have less drone by far. I've had the stingers and they drone really bad. The stingers are louder than the pypes, but the pypes might have a deeper tone to them. My stingers also didn't fit onto the stock pipe worth a poop! The pipe on the mufflers was way to larger and over tightening the clamps resulted in a crease in the flange. I'm much happier with the sound of the pypes.

Excellent quality, fit was good/average.A little loud for my tastes with the mid-muffler setup, so I re-installed the GTA's today. Before you buy your mid-muffler setup, PM me, I've got a set with 4000m on it I'll have for sale here

Trumpeting is still there at 3/4 throttle right around 2500rpms but the Drone is completely gone. The little burble/pop grumble on deacceleration that the Stingers had, is also absent with the Pypes MM.

Thanks for the feedback though, good to know for the future.

Yeah thats basically what Im talking about, (edit
but I felt it was more pronounced with the Stingers.
IMO Pypes sounds noticably different/Better all through the RPM band but I personally liked the Deacceleration tone the Stingers had better. However the ****ed off, muscular, nascar symphony that comes with the Pypes at WOT around 3K+ is absolutely to die for!
