I don't know what the car made any more power, but it was a good way to get a nice growl and lose a few lbs. of platinum matrix off the ***-end of the car.

I think mine was a Dansk (bought it used). This is what it looked like.
Sold it before I sold the car. That cat bypass will have been on at least 3 cars by now.

Looking at my pictures of what's inside the stock cat vs. the Dansk bypass, there's got to be much more free flow through there. I used an inspection mirror to look at the insides of the outer chamber and it appears there's nothing in there except that the inside of the outer wall of the cat bypass seems to be lined with a very, very thin layer of something

i easily passed ga emmissions with a cat bypass with my c4. i was thinking about getting the 100 cell for the c2 when maxspeed gets them back in stock as the one thing i dislike about the bypass is the occassional backfire...which is not that loud....just dont like it. i know others say there is not much gain for doing this, but i seem to feel like i get better torque and throttle responce.

etom, fuchs sold the muffler bypass set in the early 90's.
It included the cat bypass, the secondary bypass and a nice muffler tip. I recall being told that the original price for the kit was around $1200.
I have since sold the secondary bypass to a rennlist member and still have the cat bypass and the never used ss tip.
As my engine has been out for well over a year, I figured that someone else could enjoy it.
I can send pictures if you like.

Agreed on the throttle response. My impression is that it wasn't a huge impact in power but it seemed a little peppier and the throttle response was much better on throttle blips too.
