Ti bypass mod
How much does the bypass effect the sound? I have LT's and no cats and I'm torn between stock ti's or ti's with the bypass done. I like the sound of both, I just don't know if the bypass version will be too loud at cruising speed.

Without cats I would stick with the stock ti's if you don't want it too loud. I haven't heard a modded ti exhaust in person, but I have headers and catted x-pipe with stock ti's and the sound is awesome.

If you get it done like it should be done in TI pipe and with a tig welder. It,s a little more than you are thinking to get it done..
But does sound good with LT and no cats.. Robert

Here's my car, Kooks 1-3/4" , no cats with the by-pass mod on a it cat-back. No drone for me!

I've read other threads where guys said it had a little more noise but still very subtle compared to some aftermarket competitors.

I am running a bypassed stock Titanium catback, LG Pro 1.75" headers, hi-flow cats.
I would say it's got the same tone as stock under no and partial throttle, and a slightly more aggressive tone at WOT. It has the faintest hint of popping under heavy deceleration also, but it's not overwhelming. Volume increases almost linearly with RPM. It screams like a banshee at WOT. No cats will be serious.

I love my modded ti pipes, the sound is perfect IMO. LTs no cats and there is no droan at cruising speed.
Miller is right though.....unless you've got a proficient welder that owes you a favor, getting the pipes welded may cost you a few bucks.
I was lucky and had mine welded up for a few pizzas.
