Been thinking about going thru that Pypes route... BUT which mufflers would you guys recommend: Street Pros or the Violators? What's the difference between the two .. as far as loudness or tone?

Haven't heard the Violators in person, but I just did the LMMCC Spring Cruise and my little V6 held it's own up against a slew of V8's. Only a few built 5.0 and 4.6s were louder. (We are also capped at 4000 RPM in neutral).

For everyday driving, these are WAY loud enough!

RE: jba or pypes
My Pypes kit had manufacturing defects, including a driver's side midpipe that was too short and didn't have anything approaching the right bends on the over-axle part.
RPM Outlet was zero help, and when I finally got someone to pick up the phone at Pypes, their response to selling me a kit that hada midpipe that was too short and mis-bent was to say "tough luck, our policy states we're not required to help you, so we're not going to..."
I know their kits are attractive price-wise, but sometimes you get what you pay for in quality and post sales support. My advice would be to avoid these issues and spend the extra $100 to get yourselfanotherkit or custom install.

yeh...try rpm outlet...its like 100 bux cheaper from them compared to anyplace else. My brother had no problem when he got his exhaust....others have a ton...its really a hit or miss, but for the prices they have its worth it to deal with the ag.

80%+ of the people on this forum have had horrible experiences with them. Myself included.
Check out Blue Oval industries for Pypes. I bought my system from them and they were great. A little more expensive but you actually get great customer service!
Although I'm happy with my Pypes system now, originally there were some concerns..1) they sent me two driver side muffler hangers. Pypes overnighted me a passenger side one when I called them. 2) It was not a direct bolt-on fit out of the box.. There are some tubes that connect the X-pipe to the mufflers. Pypes calls them 'Flow tubes' I had to cut about 3 inches off of each one in order to get the exhaust to fit length wise (thank god for an air cut-off wheel). Without cutting them the exhaust hangers and tip hangerswould have been too far out to attach.

I went with Pypes True Dual System w/Street Legal x-pipes. Got them from V6 Mustang Stuff......just waiting for them to come in.
As far as other options, some have used Ninosport.

RE: jba or pypes
Go with the JBA H-pipe kit its awesome you could get either the aluminized or stainless steel , and nonstopred you keep saying that the aluminized JBA's rust alot and im just wondering have you experienced this for yourself? Because everyone I know with the JBA's have had zero problems especially with rust. But just to be on the safe side you could go with the stainless steel kit, but if you do go with the aluminized dont be freightened about it rusting I dont think that would come in toplay for a couple of years.

RE: jba or pypes
I got mine from blueoval...paid 429 shipped.
...I dont understand that you said you recieved 2 driver's side hangers.....there is no difference, all four hangers are the same.
As far as quality, mine went together well, but the instructions sucked. I did have a problem, they had a batch of xpipes where the hangers were wrong, so we makeshift installed them and I'm waiting for a weekend to have meineke fix them. Otherwise, It seemed to be very high quality, and the stainless really is a plus..
another reason you should get the pypes over the jbas.....
THE TIPS ARE HAAYYUUUUUUGGGGE!!

To me, the clips online of the Pypes don't make Mustangs sound like the classic muscle car....it sounds raspy and at higher rpms sound ricey kind of...plus to me it doesnt sound like there is a deep rumble at idle like other mufflers w/ an H can provide.
