I've had the exhaust bypass done today at Pro-Speed Exhausts in Cardiff.
Two words: HOLY ********************. It's beautiful! The sound is absolutely gorgeous. It doesn't sound ludicrously loud, and it doesn't sound after market at all. It sounds 'special' - REALLY special. It's the sort of subtly powerful sound that you think "Wow, what's that?"
Pulled up into the garage:

And welded the pipes in place. They did it whilst the exhaust was on the car, and because the car is a facelift, the rear diffuser hides the pipes:
