Shock Piston Set Overview:

The MIP Mugen 16mm 6 Hole Bypass1 Shock Pistons are not like anything you have ever experienced before. MIP Bypass1 shock pistons are fully customizable and allow you to control your shocks' rebound speed. MIP Bypass1 Shock Pistons are also Dyno Tuned to ensure they match the compression characteristics of the stock pistons!

These MIP Bypass1 Shock Pistons include MIP Color Coded Valves that allow you to control and maximize your car's shock performance based on the valves you use. Thicker valves generate a slower rebound, and thinner valves get you quicker rebounds. Mix and match valves together and find the best setup for you and your car!

MIP Bypass1 Shock Pistons are being used by some of the top racers in the world, including Adam Drake and Ryan Maifield. The MIP Bypass1 technology is guaranteed to give you that world champion edge on the track!


Valve Designation

Different color valves allow you to identify which thickness valve you're using. The result? You can tune your shocks to optimize your car's performance. Stack the valves for even more fine-tuning!

  • .003 Green Fast Rebound Valve
  • .005 Blue Medium Rebound Valve
  • .007 Clear Slow Rebound Valve
  • .010 Brown Neutral Valve
  • .004 Tan Gap Valve

Drill out Bypass1™ Shock Pistons to your spec!

Bypass1 Shock Pistons feature 1.2mm pre-drilled holes (#18410) and 1.3mm pre-drilled holes (#18400) which allow you to easily drill them out to custom hole sizes. For instance, you can drill 3 holes at Ø1.35mm and the other 3 at Ø1.50mm. Another advantage of the Bypass1 Technology!


MIP Dyno-Tuned Technology™

MIP Dyno tunes their shock pistons to ensure they match the compression characteristics of the stock pistons. The result? MIP can guarantee Bypass1™ Shock Pistons duplicate the stock pistons with precision and accuracy, along with unparalleled quality, providing you with the most optimized feel in your shocks!

1st Time Setup Tips:

  • Drill out MIP Bypass1™ shock pistons to your current setup and use the same oil setup you used too.
  • Add 1 clear valve on top of each piston as a starting point, front and rear.
  • Bench test the suspension and drop test, the pack should be the same as your stock pistons that you were running. Rebound rate is now changed with the .005 Medium valve.
  • If your suspension feels sluggish, drop the valve to green .003. If you feel it's too fast, bump it up to .007. Stacking valves is possible once you get to .010 in adjustment; it's almost a 1 to 1 rate of rebound vs compression.
  • If you feel that the suspension is still too sluggish at .003, drop 2.5 - 5.0wt in oil to get the right rebound vs pack you are looking for.
  • Remember, you can stack valves for that fine rebound adjustment. Put the lightest valve first, then add thicker valves on top.
