Pypes Street Pro's or GT Takeoffs? Help me decide.
 
So I am pretty sure I am buying some GT takeoffs. I have Pypes but I think they are too big, too loud, and stick out the back too much. If I get takeoffs my rear end would look alot more proportionate. Which sounding muffler do you prefer?

Keep the Pypes and get a GT takeoff rear bumper. The rearend will look much better. I have the Street Pros and I'm pretty happy with them. The tips look nice and I like the sound. After a few thousand miles they break in and mellow out. I didn't care for the look of them either with the v6 bumper, but the 4" tips fill the cut outs in the GT bumper perfectly.

I have the same setup and have a cut out bumper.
I have a GT bumper waiting to be painted.

If you're really desperate for an alloy GT bumper there was a guy in the For Sale section selling one. The catch is it had silver stripes painted on it...maybe you could get the bumper and finish the stripes?

If you want a GT takeoff bumper, call up the places that are selling them and ask if they have any blemished parts. They will sell parts that have scuffs and scratches in the paint for really cheap. Thats what I ended up doing. It cost me $185 to have my rear bumper painted. I dropped the bumper off and then picked it up to install myself at home. I'm sure that saved me a few dollars because the body shop didn't have to remove/install anything or worry about masking parts.
