    Pypes Mid Muffler System

    Your Flows/H combo does sound great! Of course it will sound deeper, as you are comparing a chambered muffler to a straight-through design that has very little packing and little body to deepen the sound. Chocolate and vanilla, man...makes the world go 'round!:) Cheers! :cheers:

    Pypes Mid Muffler System

    I agree that Brenspeed is great. Got my XCal2 w/ tunes from them and could not be happier. Another great thing is that they always test and take videos of everything they sell. I had not been to their site for a while, so I just checked it out and the clip of the PMM system is great! Shows...

    Pypes Mid Muffler System

    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...

    Pypes Mid Muffler System

    Dock - sorry to hear about the fitment issues with your PMM system - that really sucks!!!:( What began as in innocent every once in a while millisecond of a rattle has become almost constant now. I have to go get it checked out before it drives me nuts. :bang: I looked under the car and I...

    22MPG?

    Well, the shifter definitely would not have affected your mileage. So, that leaves the heat and the tires. Sounds like your tires are a little wider now (more rolling resistance), plus if they are heavier than the outgoing set, your unsprung weight has increased which would negatively affect...

    Pypes Mid Muffler System

    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...

    RPM OUTLET

    I ordered my Pypes exhaust system from them with no problems. Great price, fast delivery and everything showed up in good condition. I ordered before I saw all of the bad news about them on this site, but thankfully I did not have any issues. Cheers! :cheers:

    Pypes Mid Muffler System

    No problem, Dock!:nice: When the guy at the shop lowered it down and started it up with a few revs, I was literally thinking "Wow - really? That's it?" After driving it a little, my next thought was that anybody who bought this and was afraid it is going to be too loud will be very pleasantly...

    Pypes Mid Muffler System

    That has pretty much been my line of thinking since this was put on. I love the way it sounds, but the volume needs to be turned up a couple of notches. The Pypes ORH may be the way to go...but that will probably have to wait a little while (aka - round 2 of mods). Cheers! :cheers:

    Pypes Mid Muffler System

    Well...I finally got my Pypes mid-muffler system installed yesterday. Have not had a chance to drive the car too much since installation, but here are my thoughts so far. - This system is far quieter than I expected. With just two straight-through round 4" body mufflers, I was expecting it...

    Pypes Mid Muffler System

    Yeah, but probably not too many shops outside of nice custom performance shops (none of which are around here) that actually have stainless weld available. I am lucky if I keep a car more than a year or two, so if it were to rust it would probably do so long after I have gotten rid of the car...

    Pypes Mid Muffler System

    Dock - I do not know just yet where I will take it to be done. However, I have never had a problem in the past finding a shop that will install something for you. Just a matter of who will do a good job & for a fair price. The last couple of custom exhaust jobs I have had done, I just went to...

    Pypes Mid Muffler System

    No sweat, man! Should be Monday or so when I get mine put on, so not too much of a delay. Best of luck with the install. If I had everything I needed to do it myself, I would. However, it will cost me more to go buy everything I need than it will to pay someone else with a lift to do it...

    Pypes Mid Muffler System

    Dock - glad to hear you got one of these, too! Sounds like you may be getting yours put on before me, so please post back on your thoughts about the system. As far as the box goes, mine had a few bad spots, but I would blame that more on UPS than RPM. Cheers! :cheers:

    07 5spd GT Getting 15mpg

    My '06 is bone stock right now and I have gotten an average of 23 mpg over the several fill-ups I have done in the last month I've had it. I don't drive like a granny, but I do get it into 5th as often as possible. I am hoping to see a further increase with my soon-to-be-installed Pypes...

    Pypes Mid Muffler System

    So far, so good! Much like you suggested, I could not wait to get it so I went to UPS and picked it up on my lunch hour today. Everything is in the box and looks great (will post up some pics later), so at this point I have had a very smooth transaction with RPM Outlet.:nice: It is a nice...

    Pypes Mid Muffler System

    Hi! I ordered mine from RPM Outlet. They have it for $299.95 with free UPS ground shipping. However, UPS would not deliver it w/o a signature, so I will not be able to receive it until Monday of next week when I am off work.:bang: I was looking forward to seeing it and posting up some pics...
