btw, what's a primary and secondary bypass (newb question)?
engine is in back ofcourse... headers come down and back(quad cats integrated into the headers on both sides), normally there is a center muffler that comes from the cats, kinda like an x pipe crossing the middle and then returns back near the cats where it joins the side mufflers that are in the bumper on each side and then they go out the back... in stock cars the center muffler doesnt splice the exhaust and each side is independent having center muffler and large side muffler...
primary bypass removes the center muffler and replaces it with an X pipe no muffler....just pipe.. and the secondary bypass i have takes the stock muffler and creates a bypass @ higher RPM's. so low RPM's the exhaust goes thru the stock muffler making the car quiet and reserved... but with throttle the bypass opens and the exhaust pretty much flows directly out the tips but has a little muffling action still (if you straight remove the side mufflers, which i have done... it sounds like a cup car and VERY loud).. so basically the car is calm and quiet on the highway and daily cruising, but anything above 3k it sounds great with the pops and burbles on downshifts/etc.
pic of X pipe center and aftermarket side mufflers to get an idea of how the exhaust is setup:
