My bypass pipes arrived this week for $189 shipped. I will drop them by my shop while they do the RMS, IMSB and other work this week. I plan on doing a dyno test in the future to see if there is any difference at all... My primary reason to install these is weight savings as well as removing a major heat source (secondary cat) from the vicinity of my CV boots.
This kit includes the pipes, gaskets, clamps, and other hardware needed for installation.
The quality of the materials is as good or better than I would expect for this price point. There are some marks from the manufacturing process as well as some minor pitting here and there, but for the money, I think the materials are satisfactory.
The quality of the welds appears to be adequate. While the finish could be a bit better, we are talking about less than $200 here, I am pretty happy with it.
The proof will be in how easily it bolts up to my 3.2. I will report back as things progress!
Cheers!
Ross
