I don't see how those side pipes will help with reducing the sound. It's literally just a pipe with a valve, so I'd imagine it would be quite loud, probably louder than the track exhaust cause then u have to muffler component at all. As well as you would lose low end power, just as you do with the track exhaust. I see those car graphic pieces being used more if u kept your center muffler.

how crazy/stupid would it be to run the race pipe mostly on the street?

You will not be disappointed. I had the bypass and it sounds great, but l don't do much driving on the street so went with the track exhaust and it sings beautifully.

Like I said, if you want more sound, unplug the valves and it will be louder in the lower rpms as the valves will be completely open. Even in sport mode they dont open up til a certain rpm. Takes 2 seconds to reach in and unplug it.
bmwtye, that's the kind of info I'm looking for. Looks like I'll put on the bypass and give her a try. Now all I need is some descent driving weather. Raining like cats and dogs here in Oregon and gravel all over the roads
