New Pypes Axle-Back on the G8 (Pics & Vid)

I left work a bit early today and shot down to Pypes to get their new axle-back exhaust installed on the G8. The install took roughly 10 minutes which when you look at what's being done....it shouldn't surprise anyone.

The guys at Pypes were extremely friendly and even helped me get the old mufflers in the trunk with a fresh piece of cardboard so I wouldn't dirty anything up.

On first start-up, the exhaust has a really nice and deep rumble. Off idle and accelerating the sound get more and more pronounced but is never high pitched. The entire axle-back is stainless with a real nice rolled oval tip that fits perfectly and really makes the back end of the car look nice. I liked the stock dual tips but these tips really look great.

Below are a couple pics and I stole Pypes videos from youtube on the prototype setup which is exactly the same as this one. Surprisingly both cars are orange.

I can't wait to get the rest of the exhaust done and hopefully Pypes will continue to put out more products for the G8.
