Default Pypes Exhaust... pricing

I see the cheaper Pypes exhaust on americanmuscle.com.

Is this a case of good buy for the money or you get what you pay for?

Pypes make a good exhaust system for the money. I have their mid-pipe and couldn't be happier. They are getting more popular now days.

I was particularly looking at the Pypes LT headers for about $400.

The X that's on my car now is getting rusted up (must have been installed by the original owner or kept in a moist garage, etc), so I was also looking at the Pypes O/R X and buying a pair of SLP Loudmouth Resonators to stick on that.

I won't do a whole lot of work until next spring, but if I'm going to replace my entire exhaust, I'm wondering if I should go all out or if I'm merely getting what I'm paying for by going cheaper.

Very nice. I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that the SLP LMs are gonna make it a little louder than your Flows. You don't have LT headers (yet)?

Thanks, I'm not going the LT route as my car is lowered and I would be scraping them everywhere I go. With the SLP's it will sound really loud! Like this:
