Buying Pypes
I'm about to place an order for Pypes from v6mustangstuff. I have questions.
It's been suggested to me that I get this setup installed by a shop because there areis cuttinginvolved. Do they have to transfer the O2 sensors from the old pipes to the new ones? When I pick the Pypes kit up, will I be able to haul it all in my trunk and back seat (will it all fit in the stang?).
What are people saying about this kit? Much rattlingor droning? What's a fair install price?
I'm going to carve up my bumper, and next year replace it with a GT bumper (at which point I'll be selling my cut bumper on eBay... hah, we'll see about that)

2. No, it won't fit in Stang. (see photo) Complete kit is1 HUGE box, 1 LONG boxand 1 medium size one.
Have the vendor drop ship to your shop of choice (OK it with them first of course).
3. No rattling (dealer installed)
4. Yes, Drone between 2000-2500 RPM, but:
a.) it is expected with these, they are LOUD.
b.) cruise at <65 MPH & >85 MPH is almost silent in the interior.
c.) it sounds BADASS for a V6. Check out my vids below (new ones added, FLYBY and ACCELERATION are from OUTSIDE about 100 feet away with a digital camera, so turn up the volume on your speakers).
5. Install price depends on shop... 2 hours labor or so. My install also had bumper changeover so that added a bit.
Love my PYPES!
You will LOVE the 4" Exhaust tips!!
Winterhawk & NonStopRed also have them.

1. I had my Ford dealer do mine. Yes, cutting after cats. Don't think any O2 sensor issues.
2. No, it won't fit in Stang. (see photo) Complete kit is1 HUGE box, 1 LONG boxand 1 medium size one.

RE: Buying Pypes
Now if I go with just the pipes and keep my GT takeoffs, are you saying there's still drone? Or is drone not an issue with dual GT takeoffs?
THAT BIG BOX. ME HAVE TO FIND BETTER WAY.

RE: Buying Pypes
Did you unpackage the parts?
Mine where all nice and greasy (packing grease) so I just threw them in the F150 and my wife dropped them off at the dealer when she picked me up.

PS: might have fit, but I had stuff in the trunk...

RE: Buying Pypes
yeh I think you could fit them if you folded down the seats and pushed the passenger seat all the way forward. Youd definately be able to if you took the parts out of the boxes. but as sohcman said, they are greasy. (just wrap it up in an old sheet).
You'll love them. The first time I started it up I was smiling from ear to ear, no way to wipe that off. It doesnt sound like a six at all....beware...you will want to accelerate more just to hear the exhaust, therefore decreasing your gas mileage.
Guys with pypes...I dont know if it is a fact that mine are broken in, but the drone isnt bad anymore. I also started using 89 on filling up rather than just 87. I really think that the 89 helps drone somehow (dont ask)
Can you guys try it for a couple fill ups and tell me if its just my imagination?
