Pypes v. Borla Exhaust?

KenDogg · May 9th, 2008, 06:31 PM

Hey,
I am in the process of ordering my exhaust. I was looking at the frpp stingers for axle backs. Someone suggested to me that the pypes mid-muffler catback is similar in sound to the stingers, is this true? I know i love the deep stinger growl. I don't want it to be overly loud just very deep with nice tone. I will be getting an catted H or catted prochamber mid-pipe with long tubes. Thanks

I love the way my mid-mufflers sound. It does have a nice deep sound to it.

KenDogg · May 9th, 2008, 07:05 PM

how loud are the mids? i've heard the borlas and they almost seem like they can be quieter than the stock mufflers at idle. i'll be doing LT's with em so it should make it a little louder

Jucostud · May 9th, 2008, 07:16 PM

i posted a vid of them in one of the exhaust threads here on the first page.

I have the Pypes Mid-Mufflers and they scream at WOT, and are nice and mellow at about 1800 RPM. Nice deep rumble. I love them (but I despise the fitment issues)

KenDogg · May 9th, 2008, 07:57 PM

what kind of fitment issues are there?

tribaltek · May 9th, 2008, 07:58 PM

Hangers aren't lined up great. Aligning the tailpipes is impossible.

Jucostud · May 9th, 2008, 09:14 PM

mine didn't turn out too bad after playing with them for a bit

KenDogg · May 9th, 2008, 09:22 PM

i ended up going with the borlas after a bunch of youtube-ing i liked the tone a little better, but thanks for the help Juco and tribal

I think you will be happy with borla/frpp stingers.

07stanggt · May 9th, 2008, 11:06 PM

good thing about axle backs. You dont even have to jack the car up to change them man. You will happy with the stingers.

06VistaGT · May 9th, 2008, 11:23 PM

good choice. Hopefully they give you the sound you're looking for.

I have the Borla Stingers, and they are not quiter than stock at idle. They actually have a nice old school rumble. They arn't a whole lot louder than stock though when cruising, but when first taking off, and in higher RPM's, along with WOT, they roar pretty good. They do however get much louder, and sound great with an O/R H or Prochamber. At WOT they are killer with the O/R pipe, but cruising, you get a nice low rumble without any annoying drone.

KenDogg · May 10th, 2008, 08:51 PM

awesome thanks 02. that's exactly what i'm looking for something that won't kill me when normally driving. i had to get a catted H cause like you im in NY and need to pass the damn inspection

GTron · May 10th, 2008, 10:14 PM

A little late it seems, but anyway, I installed a set of pypes mid mufflers on my car yesterday evening. They do sound great! Could be a hair louder, but that will come when I do LTs. I do have to get back under the car tomorrow to see if I can get the tailpipes straight though. Fought for an hour and a half just trying to get them straight and finally gave up for the day. May have to get a little persuasive with them.

No problem, were all here to help eachother out. Also, you could do it like I plan on doing, and just swap out the O/R H for inspections. Hell it's only once a year anyway.

KenDogg · May 11th, 2008, 06:34 PM

mm very true. i think a shorty o/r H is only like 160 bucks so it's not a bad idea, i'll see how i like the sound when i get it if it's not loud enough i may do just that

BLACJAC · May 12th, 2008, 07:35 PM
