It's really going to depend on what mufflers you are running. Go on youtube I'm sure there are videos of this midpipe with different mufflers.

They sound as good as any other. There isn't a big difference in tone unless you're comparing H & X pipes.

I can "barely" notice a difference between stainless and aluminized.

As far as their quality, there are lots of people that haven't had any issues with their fitment although, Pypes have been known in the past to be only as good as their quality control at the time of production. (Hit or Miss but I haven't heard any major complaints in the last few months.)

I wouldn't have issue with installing one of their x pipes on my cars.

magnaflow catted x is the best sounding catted x out there. but pypes makes a decent midpipe. ran their o/r x for a while and it fit about as good as the rest.

from 2v to a Mach(4v) I think ther is a big difference in sound.... 4v sounds WAY better. and I have Pipes catless X and it sounds great but I had a fiting issue. solved with welding.

I have a UPR catless X and, fits OK, but hangs a little low for my liking right where it bolts up tot the batback. Almost as if it needs a sharper bend up front. Nothing some heat and some bending cant fix(when i get the time to do it)

I would buy from them again. I know it's not what you asked about, but Pypes and UPR are both to be a "hit or miss" with fitment and on the cheaper end of pipes. I wouldn't say mine was a "hit" or "miss" totally, but I didn't mind saving some money to finagle it a bit.
