Default Got my new catback today

I ended up going with pypes violator catback instead of a mac catback because mac was back ordered for 3 weeks. The system looks ok but the tips suck *****. I'll be swapping the tips out next time I go to my tuner's to get the car I'm building now tuned because they have some nice black chrome tips up there. I'll throw the catback up tomorrow morning and try to get a video of how it sounds.

Before I install it I'll take pics of the inside the mufflers. They are pretty much a straight thru muffler but shaped like a flowmaster.

yeah, thats what i would want to switch too. a mix between a straight through and muffler sound. the few clips ive seen of violators they have sounded good pretty good.

I'm assuming that this is pretty close to a good rendering of what they are?


Idk what the hooker mufflers I'm using are, but they are the second best flowing muffler on the market, and a tie for the quietest.

If I were going for a loud tone, I'd probably go with something like this

Ok catback is installed. The tips are crap, the system is crap and have some fitment problems but it sounds badass. I'll try to get a clip up later today or tomorrow morning.

As long as it sounds badass!!! i was worried you were going to say the whole thing was crap with the way you were writing the post lol.

Can't wait to hear vids.. You ever fix your problems to get closer to that 800rwhp mark?

It is about as loud as the slpII but sounds alot better and actually has a tone to it.
