Boy, I'm sure glad I left the stock bypass systems on both of the 8BA's I'm currently building. Given the way these cars are driven and the conditions we experience, I think a bypass system is a lot better any of these "Full-Flow" or "95%" systems. They are overkill.

Think about it; these cars benefit more from the finer filtration the bypass system gives rather than from the ability the the other systems give you by getting the big chunks out faster. Plus, when you consider that most owners change their oil at (probably) less than 1000 miles intervals, it becomes a moot point.
