I have them and I loved the price and I love the sound. The only issue I had is the clamps do not tighten well enough so I ended up welding them in place. Other than that, it's a nice product for a decent price. May be too loud for some since it's more of a resonated tip than an actual muffler.

have them on my SS and the quality is there, I would reccomend them, worth the price....but they do need to be tack welded or you will be tightening them up every couple of months.

This clip is of a V6 with LT headers. It's one of the best sound exhausts for the V6 ive heard.

Glad to hear positive reviews on Pypes. I just picked up a Pypes Performance system for my SS last Friday. I got it from SPI in Oakville (west of Toronto). It was ordered for a customer that changed his mind so it went up on Kijiji. I paid about half and SPI kept it for me until I was able to pick it up. SPI will install in the spring along with their Stage 2 package......I CAN'T WAIT

I have Pypes on my SS and love them. The quality was good and customer service was fantastic. The fit left a little to be desired but with a little finagling I made it work. As others have said you may want to have them welded on but the clamps will do the trick, especially if you tighten with air tools. For the price, you cant beat it...

I had them on my vette and found them to be very poor quality (broken welds, poor hanger design, poor workmanship). Looking back, I should have bought a better quality set. Spent more than i saved welding them up and changing them out.

I put the on my SS 2 weeks ago and love it. As stated the fitment is a little issue but with some patience you won't be sorry. Great sound for the money. Got mine from marylandspeed.com..Free shipping too.

so did you end up buying this system? I am looking into it for my 2012 V6. How do you like it? How is the drone? WOuld you happen to have any videos of it? I've seen the video with the shortie and long tube hearders, so I am looking for a camaro with just the pypes exhaust sytem without any mods to headers.

I found the quality of their products to be sorely lacking. Went through three sets in a years time (broken hangers, broken welds, inaccurate bends, etc). Good luck.
