huh?
cat bypass or muffler bypass? depending on which it'll bypass that part....
so if you get a muffler bypass pipe and you have B&B cans you will be removing the cans to put the bypass pipes on.

if you want to retain the B&B cans you can go with cat bypass pipes...but some will say thats a no no! i think it'll throw CELs and personally think the cats are there for a reason other then sound dampening...

if you have headers...well they will be retained with either bypass pipe. HTH

If you want something a little louder, you might want to go with a different muffler. The bypass pipes will make it a lot louder. But that may be your cup of tea.

LowStro9 will become famous soon enough
I have the bypass (muff) and they are baller loud. I love the sound but you will lose a substantial amount of power on the low and mid powerband. I am currently repalcing intakes and plenum and while the job is going, I am going back to my B&B cans. The cool sound is not at all worth the loss of power. Just my .02 Wonna by a set of bp pipes cheap?

Keep the stock exhaust and go with the cat bypass pipes - only $550 and they sound great and will save you about 20lbs!

the full exhaust bypass is way too loud on a NA car.

I installed new o2 sensors and have only had it come on a few times in 2 years. I did the 6spd group buy on AUto Enginuity and can reset it easily if it does. http://www.autoenginuity.com/
