Does anyone have a source to buy the titanium conduit piping in-order to do this mod?
I've got a new TI cat-back in my garage but I'm waiting to do the install until I can get this by-pass mod done. Nobody around here sells titanium, much less the diameter, gauge and length that I need.

All it does is allow some of the exhaust to "bypass" the muffler and go straight out the tailpipe, since the gas will take the path of least resistance. Because the bypass piping is only 1 1'4" diameter (or so) it will only allow some of the exhaust to pass the muffler hence it isn't nearly as loud as true straight pipes. Great mod!

The stripes were dark gray to match the OEM rims I'd painted, they didn't go with the black in the CCW's so I pulled them till I can get some more done in black later.

I think I'm too lazy to take mine off. I'm not into that part changing nonsense like you are!

I wish I had a welder around here that could do Ti. I tried to have my welder, who does awesome work, do it for my but it was just too much involved.
the stock Ti's mufflers even w/o the bypass mod are a great system.
I put down over 700whp threw them!
