Default Pypes exhaust system?

I'm looking at the pypes converter back exhaust system. I found it on eBay and it includes 2 new pypes pro-v mufflers and it makes it a dual tip basically. They are asking 255 + 50 bux shipping. I've never heard of pypes before. Are they any good? I know this isn't the most desireable system (not true dual) but i just want a little more sound and i like the dual tips. Anyway, any response is welcome.

Thanks,
Garrett

to me it looks bogus, because your bottle necking at the converter you wouldn't get hardly any extra hp; and the kind of sound that system will give would be as good as if you just put on a performance muffler

best system is 2.25" pipes with an x-pipe. HP + sound = <(you)

and it's aluminized. It'll rust out quickly.

Bad Quality is why it's so cheap.

Ive heard nothing but bad news about the pypes systems...fitment issues, rusting out and such.

You can get a True Duel Flowmaster system for around $400-$450... Thats only $100 more, plus you will get more power and alot better sound... I had the cats removed (not street legal) but it sounds really good...I Went with a H pipe....I did not want to spend the premium price they wanted for the X pipe... Sounds Very good... Plus its a noticable power increase
