Just installed bypass pipes - here we go again

Here is what I don;t like in order of annoyance:

1. Flapping sound when revving
2. Interior resonance (forget about converstaion)
3. So LOUD

Sounds great at idle though.

I may keep them for a week and then switch to Afterhours. Anyone want to switch? I'll pay the difference.

1 Post and it's this?... Not sure what the point is... If you are running straight pipes off your N/A then yes, its going to be LOUD. Cat bypass, Muffler Bypass? 997.5? Secondary Muffler Bypass?... Confused

Also, "Here we go again" seems to reference a previous post, yet this is the first?...

BTW... Its an unspoken rule that you must post a picture with your first post. Welcome to the 6

When I said "here we go again" I was referencing previous posts of members installing then removing the bypass pipes. I had to see for myself and yes, all I have installed are the bypass pipes. How could anyone say they are not too loud for everyday use? I think i'm trading them in for the AWE mufflers. If anyone wants my take-offs, PM me. BTW, i'll post a pic soon.

No one said it's not loud . they are loud and I don't like the way the sound except at high RPM and when you start the car. The worst when you drive around the parking lot.
