SOHCman, thank you for your reply. The Pypes system sounds great!

For me, to get the second Borla muffler, the midpipe and X pipe to go dual, it would cost me over $400. This means I should go ahead and just order the Pypes catback dual from one of the internet companies for less than $400.

My question: Did you (or anyone with Pypes) have fitting and alignment issues with the installation?

Thanks!


And yes, I did say 40,000 miles in 11 months... she has 88,000 miles on her since 4/5/06...





SOHC

88,000 miles?! That's great! I'm really glad to hear a higher mileage Mustang. Any issue with the car?

I've concluded that the Pypes are the ones. Thank you.
As for the car... I broke the little plastic cover on the trunk lid... and the CD doesn't always eject...

I really can't complain...

I will definitely buy another one... especially when they release a retro version of the 1969 mach 1 with curvy rear fenders.

JBA true duals w/ H pipe Been on the car going on two years. Still sound great. No problems. No leaks or rattles.

I'm a big believer in the H-Pipe if you want a deeper sound. As far as louder, I wouldn't say that it is night and day but it's kinda like going from mono to stereo speakers. There's really kind of a tradeoff though, you're either going to get a loud sound or a deep sound, or something in-between. I didn't care how loud my car was as long as it sounded deep and even. Good luck on it.

Wait, is this retro really in the works, or are you just pulling my leg?

i have a single flowmaster 40 series and it sounds louder and richwer than the local v6s with duals. i want duals but im worried that it will kill the sound. the people around here all bought different kits online. and i dont want to buy any kit cuz i think my single will sound better. so im thinking of going to a shop and telling them to fabricate one with another flowmaster. does anyone on here have fabricated dual systems, and do they sound just as good.

Ya, they won't do anything THAT cool...

Although the twin turbo V6 sounds nice...

I've never had a problem lovin' my V6... and 35MPG would be great for commuting...

To those who have the PYPES dual system installed, did it come with a template for the bumper cut-out?
If not, then how did you all cut the rear bumper to fit the second pipe?

Thanks! (I'm ordering the Pype system next week!)

The template should be online...

Right off their homepage under instructions, down the bottom.

http://pysales.com/inst/SFM68-69-bumper-cutout02.pdf

I just bought a GT bumper online...

The GT bumper cutouts look better with the Pypes 4" tips.

Stock 2.5" tips look enemic in those giant holes.

LOL
