SF Bay Area: Demo of Bypass Pipes?

[wyatth]

Hi all,

I am looking to buy some bypass pipes (rest of my exhaust will remain stock) but would love to hear/smell/feel it before I spend the money and hack up my stock midpipe. Does anybody in the Bay Area have bypass pipes on an otherwise stock car (or close to) that I could listen to? I'm in Walnut Creek but will drive around to make it convenient for you.

Thanks!

Man, I just took them off. I had gutted stock x-pipe. lol

I changed them out to Macht Schnell x-pipe.

Does the MS x-pipe have any cats or resonators? How would you compare the change from what you had? Still using the stock muffler? Depending on all that, it might still be instructive. Thanks!

Do you swap pipes and flash back every 2 years?

It's resonated without any cats. The car sounds a whole lot better, pairing with the UUC Corsa axle-back. The gutted OEM was raspy comparing to the MS.

I plan to swap when smog time comes, doesn't take long to swap.
