Going by the radiated heat and metal contraction noises after driving. I have found that a bypass exhaust helps to reduce temperatures in the engine compartment.....this is soley based on impression...no data
My theory is that less exhaust gas volume spends its time bouncing around the huge muffler imparting heat to muffler which in turn radiates less heat to the surrounding engine compartment, reducing ultimate temperature in there. The bypass tubes shoot the gases straight out.
I have plugged the bypass tubes and felt increased tempertures along with much more cooling chatter from the exhaust components.
My muffler is ceramic coated as well so the heat stays in the exhaust gases more than radiating out
One also has to consider the
Threaded Mode
