Awesome! Its damn agressive!
The bypass is adjustable right?? The later rumbles were so much more agressive!
If you dont mind, can you please tell me where do you get it done? And around how much should I be looking at? Thank you!

The k4 + lsd was done by RPM Racing, they also did the bypass. K4 parts are a little over 13K + installation. The bypass I think was about 1.4K with custom fabrication/installation. Well worth it, everyone loves it, and on the open road it roars.

I have the same bypass from RPM and it sounds just like that! Turns heads and sounds hard core mean. When I am driving in M mode and downshift from 2nd to 1st at 4-5 rpms it goes..."Rah, rah..pop pop pop rah" totally raw sounding.
People stare and trying to figure out are my eyes telling the truth. Within 2 seconds I can go stock sounding too. Fully adjustable and I have dyno proof that it added 12 rwhp. I would have done it for the sound alone even if it didn't add any power.

Thanks!! I listened to it over and over again. haha..
I was just think if the by pass would sound even better than Eisenmann exhaust?
Can anybody please provide me with rpm contacts? If I'm not wrong they are in Newyork right?
I was just wondering if this mod will have long term liability issue? Thanks again!

I will take a pic tonight and post it. and yes it can adjust, so you can open hlaf way, or quarter, it cool, so when you want stock - shut it, but when you want to make some noise open it up. In the beginning I would use it half way, but then you get use to it and now I use it wide open.

I will as soon as the weather gets better, it is about 15 degrees this morning. As soon as I get the car back from Kleemann, and it is warm enough, I will put some videos together.

Paul it takes about 15-20 sec. and you need to have quicktime on your computer.
here is a pic of the install, and the switch under the steering wheel.

Thanks for the pics!
The switch looks very I bet you must feel very tempted to switch it on. Looks like an emergency buttons
Thanks for the email 55 ballers. I might try to contact rpm.... If possible I might wanna drive to NY from Boston to do it.
