Drilling Exhaust

I highly recommend the bypass pipes on the muffler. I have one installed on my S and it sounds great. It sounds even better now that I've added secondary cat bypass pipes. Everyone wants to know how I get such a wonderful sound out of my car.

Does the bypass pipes weld to the inlet pipe entering the muffler?

Yes, the bypass pipes are welded to the inlets per the picture. You just need to be careful that you don't insert the U-pipe to deep or you'll cover up those holes!

Do you know if the diameter of the bypass pipes are critical ?
Yours look to be about an inch or so,would larger/smaller diameter pipes give a different tone or just be louder/quieter?
I have gas and mig welding experience so this looks like quite a straightforward mod unless I'm missing something !

Car's in storage so measuring is not that easy at the moment. I would think that 1" ID minimum would work, from memory.

Nice that you have the ability to do this yourself...I always rely on friends that are handy.
