Exhaust bypass mod

Anyone ever done an exhaust bypass mod? How did it sound? The videos I find, their setup usually doesn't have any cats.

I did the mod, liked the change, especially for the small cost. BUT, ended up going with electric cutouts. Now we are talking.

One of the first mods I did.
Sounds great, adds a rumble at idle, loud enough at wot.
No resonance or drone at cruise.
Price is right at $50.00! Any muffler shop can do it.

Mine is just stock, and the bypass is only about the size of a half dollar.

I fit the biggest bypass possible...no X-pipe. I heard a Corsa Indy with X-Pipe and didn't like it. Idle was smooth but could not hear much. So.....a bit motorboat it is. Idle with load and warmed up it's not too bad.

I did the bypass and gutted the mufflers. Sounds great. Then I did long tube headers performance cats and X-pipe now its really loud with no drone. I love it. I used a large pipe and Squeezed it in a vise to make the largest bypass pipe possible.
