You can make it yourself with a straight nipple and two hose clamps all purchased from the hardware store for 25% of what they charge for the bypass. There really isn't anything to be gained from doing it.

Did mine this weekend with parts from Home Depot. Used a brass, barbed 3/8 inch male to male connector along with 1/2 to 5/8 hose clamps. Total cost less than $3. Total time 15 minutes. Using this "Snake oil" Priceless :rofl:

Yeah, I guess thats one of those mods you do when your bored and feel like modding the vette but don't want to spend any money. Hmmm, sounds like me, I think I'm going to try that! :lol:
