Do pypes violators have bad interior drone? How are the volume levels inside the cabin, are they annoying? And also, how nice do they sound at WOT? (I found them for $189 at brenspeed and would be really happy if they were good mufflers)

 

I have them and I like that they are not too loud at lower speed since I live in a quiet neighborhood and leave early for work. The Pypes sound great at WOT, IMO, - nice mean growl. Plus the price is right.

I had Flowmasters before the Violators and preferred the deeper rumble at regular driving speeds, but the Flows broke a baffle and I didn't want to risk a repeat.

There is some drone in the cabin <2000 rpm but it's only loud enough to be annoying if I'm in 5th and have to slow down for traffic - obviously downshifting cures the problem.

 

I have the pypes violator mufflers on my cat-back system and they sound fantastic. not too loud, but noticeable. there is some drone around the 1200-1800RPM range, but not enough to bother me. a quick turn of the volume dial on the radio fixes it for me

 

yeah, i figure stock it drones a bit too and thats just gonna happen, i was just wondeirng if the drone was really really irritating. sounds like a good muffler to me

 

I would just go with the pypes mid mufflers.

 

i talked to the guy at brenspeed and he said that they drone due to the muffler placement and are very loud all the time. i only want them to be loud when they need to be and i dont want drone

 

Batmobile, which was Brenspeed talking about being very loud and droning, the violators or the mid muffler system?

I bought my Violators axlebacks at Brenspeed and am happy with them. Drone is only on the highway with the windows closed at a specific throttle setting, I just vary the throttle a bit. Cabin noise level is fine, and putt-putting around with them doesn't bother any of the neighbors. They have a great sound at full throttle. I think they are a good muffler at a good price.

the guy was talking about mid mufflers. yeah, you see thats exactly what i want! stock drones a little too at certain speeds so i figure that will happen to some extent, but i dont want to be annoying all of the time. and yeah, theyre some of the most inexpensive mufflers ive found and they seem to match what i want

 

also, do they have a muscle car-ish sound?

 

Batmobile, they have a unique sound. It's not classic 60's muscle car, but they sound "high-performance." I get compliments on them, andas an added benefit, the imports seem to keep their distance now!
