Nice info - thx.
I like the pricing much better, too. I see it ranges from $1300 on the low-end to $2K+ on the high-side.
I just wish I could compare the sound between the GMG/SW/RSS branded units.

I have heard them all on the track at the same time. They really pretty much all sound the same or very similar. I couldn't honestly tell the difference.
The GMG pipe does have a bit of a drone/howl at lower RPM's whereas the SW does not at all.
By, the way someone is selling a SW pipe for a good deal. Check out the classifieds if interested.

Ah, but it is not. Mike from RSS:
We make them on site 100%…A few years ago we hired an independent fabricator to make them for us, needless to say he could not produce them on time or in the quantities we needed. Ever since then, we took on the production and have been making them in house here at RSS.

I also suggest you get the larger tips with the bypass - this looks awesome
I had SW ceramic coat my bypass black - as I did not care for the shiny look underside....regardless you will luv the sound.

can you even see the metal pipes hanging below the bumper with the bypass pipes? i was just gonna go with the black tips, but maybe i should do it up like you as i also don't like metal showing from the rear bumper esp at night when the light shines on it.

That is what caused me to put the OEM tips back on; the outlet from the SW bypass is much smaller and a different color/shine than the tips, so at night if you are 40 feet away you can very clearly see the exit of the bypass inside the tips. I didn't like that very much and put the OEM tips back on. You could paint it I guess, but I don't have experience with that direction.

After a couple of runs, that "shine" is completely gone, as the SW pipes take on a bronze hue due to the heat, I assume.
I get tons of compliments on tips - the most noticeable component of a SW bypass!

Not sure if you talking about the shine all the way inside the pipes, but, at brand new it looks like this - https://rennlist.com/forums/8450562-post35.html

It does look great. I think the cost is $3K plus painting the bumper. Not cheap. It is a little lighter, but you don't get the same bumper protection that the bumperettes have. Good looking though.
