Also who makes a muffler bypass and what are the benifits of it?

Now muffler bypass pipes can be used with oem cats, race cats or cat bypass as well, it woill be a bit quieter, different tone then a straight through pipe and will not flow as good i dont think as a straight single pipe, but not enought o notice a diff.
Evoms and Fabspeed also sell muffler bypass pipes, they are both pretty much similar

I was just looking at FVD website and the race pipes are ideal BUT they say you need FVD ecu programming to avoid CELs. How is this possible for someone who has a gt700 car, because I aleady have giac software?

I have the fabspeed 100cell cat and straight pipe. I initially wanted just a straight pipe but did not want the CEL which is what you will get without a cat unless you reflash your ECU.
My car sounds awesome and turbos spool noticeably faster,also can see the red hot inside of the cats.
Entire set up looks stock from the back, cause you use your old tips. the entire deal with install cost me $2500 and one broken turbo bolt.
