Does anyone know if these are muffler bypass pipes? They were given to me by the previous owner, I'm assuming the end without the clamp goes to the x pipe but what supports them? Thanks for any input
Most bypass pipes are shorter than that but most don't let you use exhaust tips either. That may just be the routing required. And bypasses usually don't have their own support, just the cat connection.
Appears to be bypass that utilizes the factory tips. The set that I had was a straight pipe off the cat to a 90° elbow into the exhaust tip, didn't have that big goofy bend. Those didn't have anything to support them either, just have to use the brute force of the clamp at the cat and reef it down.
Irregardless, returned them because it was way too loud and got a BBE system instead.
Thanks for the responses, kinda what I figured from my research, i have a full Fabspeed system with supercups, want something louder, might give these a shot at some point, if i can figure a tip out, or just cut these up to use just a straight piece with an elbow for the tip just like a regular set of bypasses
If you are liking for louder than super cup bypass is your only option. Have a custom muffler shop fab the bypasses for you. They are obviously very simple.
Nice! I was thinking of getting the same let me know your impressions once they are installed.
FYI you can test out the sound yourself, removing the mufflers is about an hours job and will show you how loud it is running open cats. Can do it on the ground with screw driver, a couple sockets (13mm/10mm I believe), and a T6 allen for the bumperettes.
I promptly packaged mine up and shipped them back to Agency Power. Ended up buying a Billy Boat system and have been a million times happier.
The by-pass pipes are too loud for Daily driving, installing some Car Chemistry 3 disc inserts got the db down to where I can drive past a sleeping Cop and not wake him up as long as I'm not deep in the throttle ..lol . It gives it a nice pitch about an octave higher and with an X-pipe 200 cell cats sounds exotic. This is with the Beluga bypass pipes and 2.25 inserts. I have a friend with some other China by-pass pipes that are a bit smaller pipe(metric) had to use 2.00 inserts and it sounds even better than mine, his is even higher pitch due to smaller pipe/insert and he also has the 200 cell cats with x-pipe.
Car Chemistry Insert (3 disc) installed into by-pass pipe
With end restrictor, the restrictor can be changed to smaller or left off for maximum DB
This is a 2 disc that I tried first, It was still too loud, I took them out and installed 3 disc inserts. The 3 disc insert knocks about 10 db off the volume
from seat of pants, with the three disc inserts, how much down on power and/or torque compared to the Beluga's by themselves? (i know, just a guesstimate)
I just did this exact same system a month ago(Beluga Bypass Pipes with the CC Inserts). Without the CC inserts it was too annoying and loud, with the 3 disk inserts, it's great. Haven't noticed any loss in power.

Muffler bypass pipes?
