Another Happy LPMM Convert.....
I am glad I kept waiting to buy an aftermarket exhaust. I decided to try the LPMM conversion on my stock mufflers and the result is just what I was hoping for. There is a distinct deeper, more mechanical sound that, in my opinion, is the perfect volume. Sounds better when starting the engine, and has a great throaty sound when under accelleration. When cruising, just barely louder than stock. I used 2" Stainless pipe for the bypass.
A big thanks to fellow Rennlister Darin Fister (FisterD), I gave him the mufflers and a 2 foot section of stainless pipe. He gave me back 2 LPMM mufflers that make beautiful music. I was really impressed with his craftsmanship and welding skills, awesome job Darin!
If anyone is considering this mod, I highly recommend it. Sorry about not having any photos, I was so excited to install the mufflers, I forgot to take pictures. Paul

I'm glad you like them.I think they sound great, too. Here are a couple of pics.
Pguy, you're next. Order the Stainless pipe from Burns Stainless. Let's get this show on the road.

I am getting ready to do this mod myself, and it is good to hear about another person who is happy with it. I bought a spare set of stock mufflers off eBay for $50 just in case I screw up or want to go back to stock for any reason. I can't wait to get it started!

LOL,
Glad you guys like it. I need to redo mine as the beta set were pretty well hacked up and I didn't use the proper welding techniques so they're pretty ugle now. Plus I used the smaller pipe as a cautionary measure.
If anyone is not happy with their LPMM's I'd be interested in buying them.

Was going to send you an email Darin but others might want to see the answer here...
I need 2ft of 2" Stainless pipe, right?
Order it from where? I take it I can't get it locally?
I was going to do this myself but I am pretty sure your welding skills are better than mine
Thanks!

Here's the place http://www.burnsstainless.com/. They will ship it right to your door, around $30, I think.

Clive, I didn't have any problems at all. There is an outfit on base that handles our inspections and they were only interested in safety aspects. In fact, I'm kind of sad that I parted with my cat-bypass pipes.
Canysmc,
There is a video clip of the pipes in grmnxtc's signature block.

I used 1.5" stainless as Leland first reported ( as it was readily available), and am very pleased with the results - it would be interresting to have sound clips to compare to a 2" bypass ... I wonder if there would be a marked difference??

i also did this mod and could not be happier. my car sounds absolutely awsome...the acceleration, deceleration, cruising speed...it all sounds great. i had our machine shop do my mufflers, and they hacked them up pretty bad-lucky you can't see the mod. i used 2" pipe as well.
