I know this has been discussed in depth here, but I could use some help. I'm being offered a pretty good deal on an installed SW bypass exhaust if I commit by year-end. What exactly does the bypass do for me? Louder sound throughout the range? Is droning a larger issue with it versus without? I like the sound of the stock exhaust but if the SW sound is multiples better, then I would consider getting it.

Thanks in advance and be gentle on me for bringing up an issue that has already been discussed. Just thought as more people have installed it, I'd get a larger population to pull opinions from.

The SW bypass is very simple. It replaces the large center muffler with straight pipes. Since you retain the side mufflers the amplification of sound is, in my estimate, about 25% louder than OEM. So picture the OEM exhaust being a bit louder throughout the entire RPM range. The simple addition of the bypass does not drone. If you disconnect the valves you will get some drone, but disconnecting is not necessary.

Let me know if you have other questions. I'd be happy to help.

Great explanation Matt. I'm ordering mine today.

Yep -figure the stock is a 7 and this takes it to a 9.5. No drone ect., plus, it is much lighter and better made than the stock rear muffler

Get it! It definitely makes you appreciate the car more. I would say below 4k it's the same as stock but once you make it scream it sounds beautiful. Not obnoxious, but it lets you and everyone else know you're driving something sinister. I'm very happy
