i didn't have these done, I bought them this way....
the bypass pipes I have seen on this forum usually come right off the muffler inlet and then go into the sides or top of the exhaust tips. mine go into the tips the way everyone elses do... BUT the other end of tye bypass pipes is welded further back up the exhaust system..actually in the "u" pipe that connects the muffler to the secondary cats...
i dont have a pic but I drew some lines on this pic below. the GREEN lines are where I beliee the bypass pipes are normall welded.... the RED line is how MINE is setup..
you can see that in effect, my bypass pipes are probably longer than they need to be and they feed of an area wher ethe ehxuast is going around a bend..not sure if that would have ANY effect on sound or not??
i dont mind how my exhuast sounds at WOT, but when it's idling and i just blip the throttle or at partial throttle and at low speed, rather than having a deeper / throaty sound, it has a nasty sound that to me - sound like something is wrong..it sounds like a hole is in a muffler..that's what it sonds like to me... at least from teh cockpit that is how it sounds.. i dont care for it.
i've driven it a day and a half now with corks shoved up the bypass pipes and I am 10x happier. yeah, it's too quiet, but it still sounds bad a$$ at WOT with the intake wail...and that nasty weird sound at low rpm is gone.
i'm going to pay some muffler shop to just weld the holes in the tops of the tips shut... then down the road, if someone wants to buy this or I sell it - i can just drill trhough and someone else can have it / try it...
ifa nyone wants it let me know... maybe someone else will like it..sound is very subjective... to *me* it just doesn't do what I want.. so I"m going back to stock.
