Anyone here running pypes exhaust? Seems to sound good and the price is right, but there is no mention of drone, etc.

No experience with PYPES but they all drone if your AFM is not off. My MBRP is as quite as stock on the Highway and my AFM is turned off with Black Bear.

I use to run their violator system on my 06 mustang, I loved their exhaust note. Their baffled core gives a great mix between a chambered (flowmaster style) and a straight through fiberglass wrap (magnaflow/MBRP/ect) sound, I would have ran them on my truck but it's just to loud for me on this truck since I tow frequently I wanted something quite with just a little bit of growl.

I know this is older but i was wondering if anyone is running this yet. I had a 2007 mustang gt and ran the violator kit on it and loved it. Just surprised for the price there is nobody on here with any insight? Actually there are no reviews on this product period on all the websites i checked. If anyone has insight on this product i would like to hear it. Thanks

Could have a shop that's good with exhaust do a system exactly how you want it for cheaper. If you like the muffler enough just buy it and have a shop install it with 2 tailpipes and whatever tips you want at whatever position you want them and it will be cheaper than that kit and you still have to install it. I had a shop remove everything from the muffler on back removed and had them put a Flowmaster Super 44 single in/dual out muffler (I believe it also has a black coating on it) up with 2 black chrome tips at 45° behind each tire for roughly $350 which was parts and labor. If the pipes on that kit were mandrel bent then maybe it would be worth that price but they're not mandrel bent so just have a shop build your exhaust exactly how you want it for cheaper. I'm too picky, I don't like having to settle for how an exhaust kit is setup, I want what I want lol.

Why on God's green earth was the music off when they did stock start up... but after the kit install music was still playing!!! (FAIL)

Probably because stock exhaust is too low that the music would have been louder than the truck. I remember mine sounded like a Prius until I had the exhaust done. Before the exhaust I didn't even know when it was in V4 mode unless I looked on the dash, that's how quiet the stock exhaust is, at least on a 5.3.

      AFM Experience

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Question @diyer2 on this line if you please. Are you saying the shudder is the system turning on and off at the frequency of the shudder? Guess I'm asking if you are saying you have seen it do this with the bi-direction scan tool in graph mode? If so have you been able to discern the 'trigger'. Something is telling to cycle rapidly.    My truck just started doing this recently. 197K on the clock. My response has been M5 anything under 55 mph. I treat it like a lugging stick shift. Gear down and let it spin a bit. Engauge M5, then tow mode and then M6 lets the trans stay in 5th but the AFM is active. Smooth like Skippy.    My thought was that as a machine ages the friction gets lower and as the system is load based, the lower friction would allow it to turn on at ever lower rpm until it reaches the lugging point. And yes I am ignorant of any minimum rpm requirement for the system. If you know that would be useful information.    As you know I run a Scan-Gauge II which allows me to watch the On/Off of the signal to the VLOM. While in the shudder mode I'm not seeing is cycle at that frequency or at all for that matter outside the triggers @newdude posted a few years back. Now is it possible that the refresh rate isn't fast enough to catch it? Maybe. It is why I asked my first question about graphing and trigging parameter.     As we have observed from members here the failure point is all over the map miles wise as you note yourself in your opening post. That by itself begs a few questions like fellows that comment on these lifters failing even after the system has been disabled. Long after. 😬   https://www.enginelabs.com/news/tech-tips-replacing-ls-active-fuel-management-lifters-with-melling/   The Gen5 lifters operate the same as the LS versions. In fact they are the same lifter.    https://www.enginelabs.com/tech-stories/sorting-out-gen-v-lt-lifter-failure-with-a-simple-valvetrain-fix/

      14-18 Sierra 1500 Heated Steering Wheel Help

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      UPDATE 2: Steering wheel control backlights and control of the cluster can supposedly be achieved by adding a wire to pin 20 of the cluster and tapping it to pin 2 of the main clock spring harness. I'm going to give it a shot - will update

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By newdude · Posted

      GM Global A pickups 2019-2022 can do OTA programming for the radio.  GM VIP (GM Global B) can do OTAs for almost every module on board.  So a 2022.5 and newer pickup can do OTAs for recalls like the 2.7 fuel flow recall.  EVs get OTAs that improve one pedal driving, radio issues, HVAC issues, updated battery management software, etc.     So age of the vehicle/what GM electrical platform its on will alter what amount of updates can be pushed on OTAs.

      Upgrade to a 2026 AT4 with the 3.0L Duramax

      By Blade8971 · Posted

      Thank You.   So far my new ride is making me look like a genius for going with the 3.0L, as my first fuel refill occurred over three weeks from when I took delivery.  This engine combination is very amazing.  So far no issues and had not done a regen yet.

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I am curious as to how much fluid you put back in the transmission ( assuming you had replaced the filter to compare to my findings ) and then went through the process of warming up the trans before pulling the check plug to drain out the excess and if you measured how much came back out.    I just found it surprising that some claimed a certain amount less fluid being put in and then draining some back out. The attitude of the truck as per if the surface is level and how the trucks stance is would make quite a difference since the check plug is right at the front of the transmission.
