Which brand for bypass pipes

I’m trying to locate a set of circuit werks secondary cat bypass pipes and they are out of stock and they said they aren’t sure when they will be. I can’t find any other reasonable products around the same 150$ price. Any suggestions?

A good exhaust guy with a pipe bender can fab them for you out of aluminized steel for about that price. There's really nothing special to em. They won't be mandrel bent but I doubt that it will make a big difference in flow if the rest of the system is remaining stock.

It’ll be attached to the fister muffler. Was hoping I could do a bolt on without having to go get a custom set made. If that’s the only way then sure but I hope to avoid it

The 3 brands I know of are Circuit werks, top speed and Fabspeed. Circuit werks are the cheapest and i've heard nothing bad about them. Top speed is a two pipe per side system that may be easier to fit. This is the one you can use the easy seal clamps on. The Fabspeed are the same design as the Circuit Werks only way more money, but probably better quality.

Yeah I'm not sure they sell them on ebay anymore. I though there was a direct link to them someplace on this site. Maybe do a search for it. Not sure they are even in business anymore.

I was gonna say - all this stuff comes from alibaba, just branded for large orders.

If you can't get them anytime soon in still stay its worth a call to an exhaust guy. It may be "custom" but the flanges will cost $20 on Amazon and 10' of 2" aluminized steel pipe will be less than $50, then 1-2 hour of fab time and weld-up. You'll save yourself time and cash by removing the stock midpipes yourself too.
