From the factory the M6 cars are forced to shift from 1-4 instead of 1-2 from a dead stop, apparently it saves gas.

TB bypass keeps the TB cooler since there is no hot radiator fluid running through it.

Start with full exhaust then work your way up.

based on my experience consider this before getting one:
1. it makes you sound like you own a race car without actually having one.
2. the sound is really cool to hear for a week or two then the novelty wears off after hearing it drone on the highway or around town
3. with it open anything with a mullet will worship you, anyone else might think you are an obnoxious douche-bag
4. the gasket (assuming you do not get an electric cutout) falls apart from removing the cover a lot and might cause some annoying exhaust leaks if you dont tighten the wingnuts good enough
5. if i had to do it again i would definitely go with an electric one so you arent losing wingnuts/gaskets, burning the crap out of your hands and control on the fly when i wanna sound like a badass.
