Pypes Violator 3" Mufflers....
I thought I'd try something new this year. Is anyone running these? I just bolted a set of these on and hit the key, and I thought I filled my pants!!!! Is it me or are these things a little blatty and a little too crisp? Dougs headers. E-heads, 470 cu in, solid roller, high 10 sec CITY car, 3.5" Dr Gas 'x' pipe to 3" Violator mufflers, dumping at the axle. Don't tell me it's a sign of getting too old.....

I have 2.5 with X pipe on my car with the violators.I had tons of leaks,had it welded it.Sounds ALOT better.I like the sound when your cruisin at idle your right though kinda blatty and crisp,but why not we are all used to flowmasters which don't flow to good.Think about it this way the next time a teen pulls next to you in a Honda fartin away,you could just give it some gas and make him sh!t himself.

I use a set of the old "V-tube" mufflers that Pypes discontinued before they switched to the Violater. The V-tubes have no baffles or packing but when they are behind an engine with a healthy cam, the tone is LOUD and RUDE.

I have a 3" Pypes system with Violators and they do sound nasty.
Loud and rude is also a good description. Although they seem very quiet when cruising but look out when you get into the throttle. I bet that you wouldn't think they were nearly as loud if you put some tailpipes on. |

They are loud and kinda blatty...Thought they would have had a deeper tone. Took for a spin today...Might be able to live with them. I do have a nice set of 3" torque-tech tailpipes I took off this system when I was running the 18" long Dynomax's. Got a lot of grief from fellow cruisers/racers for how quiet it was. I just can't bring myself to run flowmasters and be like the Chevy guys around here.....I guess I'm used to sneeking up on the competition and runnin' them harder than they thought I would....
Thanx for the responce everyone, I'll see how it goes with these.

I am running Violators on my '67. Dougs Headers, E-heads, 467ci engine. They do sound awesome under acceleration. Cruise and idle are fine. Under full load they do get some attention.

Greetings Folks,
My first post on this forum - yee ha, finally off the bench. I swapped to stainless steel tail pipes with my 2.5" Violators an loved the sound a lot more. Apparently, the material properties of stainless steel serve to reduce "blat" or noise. I found similar sound characteristics listening to the Mustang guys (gag) on YouTube, who have bolted Violators on to their stainless systems. Their V8s have a different firing order, but the classic GM V8 firing order simply gives the Violator sound a little more "chug". My '79 Formula (406ci. @ 10.6:1 compr, E-heads, SPC-8 cam) on 2.5" stainless never sounded better! |

Violator's!
I just installed a set along with a complete Doug Thorley /"Pypes" 2 1/2" "X" on my sons 406/E-heads powered 70 Chevelle because he wanted the car loud. The idle is kind of loud, quiet at cruise and roars with anything more than a 1/3 gas pedal. He likes it.

Nice 3" Violator Sounds - Big Block Chevrolet
This is a nice YouTube sample of the 3" Pypes Violator sound on a semi-stock '69 Chevelle. I do not believe that it has all stainless tubes, though. Tough idle!
Need more Pontiacs on there...must get my camera. http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=YfRyCqMVu1M |

If you had tailpipes on your car, I would have recommended the Violators, but since you dumped the exhaust at the rear, I would have recommended the Street Pros since it will give you a deeper tone. The Violators like tailpipes! |

If the system is a couple of years old, it could possible be aluminized but all Pypes system are stainless steel now. |

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
