Default Is Pypes a good choice?

Hi guys I drive a 2012 V6, it is an automatic trans, and this auto trans had brought me a lot of troubles trying to choose an aftermarket exhaust system for it.

Because of its constant shifting I read somewhere that it will have a very bad droning sound if I put on new exhaust. I've asked for help here before and they told me to get glass pack, however glass packs are too loud for me, my stang's only got 300 horses and I don't want it to make louder noises than a V8.

When I was on AmericanMuscles I saw a lot of people complaining about the droning and got afraid of buying. But i noticed that not many people complained about products from Pypes. From what I see it would make louder sound than any other catbacks out there.

I want to ask those who have installed the Pypes Mid Muffler system, is it a good choice? Does it drone? is it really really loud?

Wei ****,

We've had really great results from the Pypes Mid-Muffler system. We have it installed on our project black out and it sounds great with very minimal drone. Unfortunately, ford design changes forced Pypes to have to temporarily discontinue the kit. They’re working on some new options, as soon as we have a realistic ETA when they'll release the new kit, I'll definitely let you know! I'm sorry I couldn't be more help.

Pypes sork and the fitment is horrible.
The sound matches the fitment.
The quality matches the sound.
The price does not match any of the above.
Search Pypes Sork and see...
The quality of the Stainless Steel
use is of a sub par nature.

Google the different grades of Stainless Steel and see...

I put Pypes mid pipe and x pipe along with two GT mufflers on my stang. The only issue I had was the poor craftmanship of their clamps. Other than that, I am completely satisfied.

Yah. What they said about fitment, clamps, and stainless steel.

Here's a Pypes muffler hanger for when yours falls off too.

Do you really want to put cheap carp on your nice high quality stang?
Really Seth and Amy?

Might as well buy a soft from sofaking.
Cus their prices are sofaking great...

Do you want an aftermarket company that
cannot keep up with the retail market releases?
Temporarily Discontinued.
What does that mean?

means the part either has something wrong.( i.e. craftsmanship) or the part isn't selling enough. IMO anyway
