More Kudos for the Sharkwerks Bypass!

I've had the bypass installed now for two days and I have absolutely nothing but praise for it. As others have reported, the difference at low revs (even with the sport button on) is subtle, but when you kick the throttle this thing really sounds great - mean yet refined - with much more of a bass tone. The popping noises as the throttle closes are pretty cool as well.

I think the icing on the cake is the total lack of resonance at any rpm level. A number of the interior vibrations I had with the stock exhaust are gone - hopefully never to return!

My sincere congrats and thanks to Alex and the gang at Sharkwerks for building such a great product!

Hey Rocky, thanks so much for the kind words/support and also glad you like it! (Thanks for waiting for it too). The resonance-killer is a nice side effect (although unintentional). We can thank JackLA for discovering

I've had mine for a month and I'm experiencing the same "wow" factor as you.

Thanks Kevin! Need to organize a "Bypass" drive... It's disturbing how many of us there are here... Isn't this supposed to be a rare car or something?

Not in the Bay Area. I know 3 in the north bay and 4 in the south bay and it doesn't include the RS model.
