  Not to Loud

  I just put this on my 04 GT with the stock H pipe it is a little bit louder than stock but not much it is just what I wanted. I did it myself on a hoist but it would have been easier with help holding parts in place and getting everything lined up.

  97 gt violator cats

  This catback system has definitely waken up my ride. Supporting it, i have shorty bbk headers, and bbk h-pipes. Its sounds incredible!! Although louder than i wanted. One thing i was worried about, was loosing that distinctive mustang sound....you know the one..."oh yea, that was a mustang!" I saw my brother on the other side of the median heading the opposite direction. I stomped on it as he passed. 2 mins later in sent me a "lol wow". When i saw him later he said, he heard it and was like "What Was That"!. Looked through his window and saw my car. Thats when he sent me the txt. So yeah, im very happy with this purchase. Yet again, thank you AmericanMuscle.

  Violator catback

  When I order this system I had read and listened to many review online and YouTube videos. The sound is ok but what I wasn't happy about was the quality and manufacturing of the exhaust. I wouldn't recommend this system to anyone

  Amazing Exhuast!

  The install part wasn't too bad it took us about 2 hours and it was fun doing it. When we took the car off the jack stands and fired it up, I was instantly satisfied with the product! The nuts and washers the set comes with are awful so go to lowes and get your own or use the factory nut. 10/10

  big improvement over stock

  Installed in less then 3 hours. Fit nicely and sounds great. Not overly loud but enough to give the car the right sound but not enough to be annoying while driving on long trips. Hardest part of install was removing old pipes (rusted bolts) install was a breeze. would highly recommend

  Great Sound

  I installed this at my friends shop so I had it easy. I noticed some said the bend was not right for the 04 but mine fit fine might be a cases by case or ...As fas as install it was easy straight forward every thing you needed was there. Install time was no more than expected. I like the sound at an Idle it sounds normal to a little beefer kinda like a sleeper though when you hit the throttle all the sound you want is there for sure. I would recommend it Gives a bit of a surprise to people when they pull up next to you and they dont here much

  awsome product

  Even though this product was designed for two more cylinders than my mustang(v6), it still gives it a nice "growl". Its not deep or anything..... but its nice.... like i said, I have a v6 so I dont really expect it to be really deep.

  Perfect Sound

  I just installed this system today with the off road x-pipe. Install wasnt too bad at all. Only problem I had was the tailpipes, but once I took off the rear tires they went right in. Awesome sound and price! Shipping was so fast! Thanks AmericanMuscle!

  Great Sound

  The sound is exactly what I was looking for (using with PYPES off road X pipe). Appears to have added some HP. I have noticed an improvement in performance at higher RPMs. Kit was simple to install. I was able to get the stock exhaust out with out in one piece without cutting it by using a hoist, disconnecting the shocks and lowering the rear axle, did not remove rear tires.

  let the neighborhood know your coming

  I recently installed the Pypes violator dual exhaust kit with the off-road x-pipe on my 03 v6 Mustang. This exhaust adds enough horsepower to throw you back in your seat and is throaty enough to wake the neighbors. If your considering an aftermarket exhaust, this is the one and is offered at the best price here at American Muscle. Thanks American Muscle for providing such a great product and speedy service.

  Nice Sound

  Installed on my 98 GT with BBK shorty headers and BBK off road H. Sounds good, def on the loud side. The hangers on the tips ARE NOT correct for the 98. We had to make our own hangers. Other than that, happy with the exhaust so far. Been on for 7 days now.

  pypes violator

  had a flowmaster before was on for 10 years plus really nice sound could not remember the model # had a muffler go bad just enough rust wanted to replace it all so i read up on this model with a "rude sound " its ok alot less quiet throaty than before sitting at idle barely here it running to me it is not to much louder than factory exhaust does not sound bad when on the gas better than factory but over all would say it is ok not sure if i am going to replace it or not its not horrible but was not what i was expecting to hear from it if going from factory or a fairly quiet exhaust to this one would be ok

  I love pypes

  I have a 2003 mustang gt with K&N intake, roush 75mm TB, mac O/R h pipe, diablosport predator tuner and the PYPES violator cat back kit w/ the 3.5" tips. the most noticable performance improvement was the cat back not to mention the sound!!!! yes it is extremely loud when you uput your foot in the floor but when you are just cuizing through town it is no louder than stock it is very nice sounding, here is a link to my video on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKLY8CduNj0

  Loud at Take Off

  I purchased these pipes in November and had them professionally installed. Good thing I did b/c it took over 5 hours for 2 mechanics to do the job. It doesnt sound that great at idle, but once you get on the gas the sound is strong. Dont attempt to install yourself!!!

  Nice sound

  Okay well the only BAD thing I ran in to was at the end, the passenger side pipe that goes over the rear axle was incorrectly bent. So it hangs dramatically lower then the driver side. So Lowe it scraps on speed bumps, but at the end of the day it works out let me tell you why. With those pipes that go over the axle you don't get the 100% raspy sound you paid for. Soo I took the pipes off and just left the mufflers and I think it sounds perfect. Soo FYI PRE-bent parts might not always fit you're car. 7 out of 10

  Pypes Violater Cat Back Exhaust

  Everything went well and the fit was perfect. My only problem was getting the pipes to get over the rear axles. I removed the shocks from the bottom and then all went in easy. The directions said to remove the rear wheels for easier installation, but I only removed the passangers side wheel, on the drivers side I didn;t, just the shocks. Unscrewing the nuts at the bottom of the shocks allowed the rear axel to drop enough to get the pipes over it.
