Got a question. Since my stingers are welded to the over axle pipe will I be able to remove it all in one without cutting the pipes?

I have Pypes Mid-Mufflers and off-road Prochamber.

I am completely happy with the setup. Very very deep but very clean even at WOT. The one thing I would say I don't like about the setup is slight trumpeting at mid-throttle. That is solved by going full-throttle.

You won't be sorry with this setup. Purely orgasmic.

you made the right choice. i made the switch from stingers to the pypes system recently and it was definitely one of the best decisions i have ever made. you will miss the deep burble on decel, but other than that they sound so angry
i have lt headers, x pipe, and the pypes mid mufflers, i'm considering switching over to the h pipe sometime in the future

Hey Dan...keep your OR prochamber...You won't like the X pipe. At least that is what I think!

Darnit Scott why don't you mind your own business!! LOL
I love the prochamber but I want to add LT's and find a way to minimize the trumpeting. Did you find a way to fabricate a prochamber box on your OBX LT's?

Shoot me a PM if you are planning on selling the Stingers. I've been looking for a set to do my duals conversion.

Has anyone noticed major rusting/deteriorating of the Pypes tips? I've scrubbed them and polished them and now only 30 days after I installed them, they look like crap. See below:
