Ok, here's my setup: Borla stinger catback system, C&L Racer CAI with Brenspeed 93 tune on XCAL2. Other than these, I have no performance mods.

I am strongly considering getting a Pypes O/R H-pipe.

Questions:

1. Has anyone had trouble with cops or inspections?
2. Will it make the car really LOUD all the time (under normal daily driving conditions) or just when you rev it like crazy? I like the deep grumble I've heard and the raw old-school sound, but I don't want it to be deafening under normal driving. I have only heard an O/R H-pipe once in person. The guy had MAC mufflers (on a 2003 GT), but I couldn't tell how loud it was under driving conditions because he chose to just start and rev it like crazy. I was standing beside the back tire, and it began to hurt my ears, so I know it's loud.
3. Does anyone have videos or sound clips of a stang with stock headers, CAI, stingers, NO RESONATORS (trashy airy sound), and O/R H-pipe? I've seen Taco Bill's ([sm=hail.gif]) videos, and it sounds really good on idle and low revs, but the sound is really distorted on the high (crazy) revving. I'd rather not hear any X-pipe clips because I hate that weak, breathy,jetski sound (no offense if you like that...there's no accounting for taste ). I love the deep deep grumble of the H, but again I need some ear-witness opinions on the loudness of daily driving.
4. Can I use my XCAL2 to turn off the O2 sensors, or do I need to download an updated tune from Brenspeed first?

Any help here is appreciated. I'll probably just buy one anyway, because if I don't like it, I'm sure I could sell it easily since they are so popular. Thanks folks! I am so addicted to this forum and mods.

 

1...no
2....i dont think that its too loud, you can control it under normal conditions if you want
3.....taco bills videos are what sold me
4.....you will need to have brent send you a tune, the SCT does not let you do this on your own

 

Thanks, howarmat! Great looking stang, btw!
