I posted here a while back about the advantage/disadvantage of the CAT bypass.
I went ahead and got the bypass, narrowed it down to Schnell or Fabspeed. A buit of research showed the Schnell is made in China...that was a BIG negative for me, the Schnell however had the heat shield brackets . Well I decided since I am running a Fabspeed exhaust system I would go with the Fabspeed
The only heat shield I dont have is the "grass fire" bottom one and since I dont have a cat I dont really need it! The plate that was on the cat that goes over the heat shield was nothing but a piece of tin, maybe necessary with the cat but not with the bypass.
The Fabspeed is extremely well made , came with proper bolts and gasket and dropped right in
Gave my exhaust a deeper note that it had before as well and my left rear tire has not melted!! Heat from the bypass does not seem to be a real issue
