Ant,
This system is designed so that it will draw off 5% to 10% of the oil pump output, depending on oil viscosity, oil pressure, etc.
There is generally a minimal effect on oil pressure, perhaps 3-5 psi at high rpms. One thing that works in your favor is that you are increasing the effective sump capacity by 1.5 to 2.0 qts in the case of a pickup diesel engine. This tends to reduce equilibrium oil temps and improve oil pressure.
The other thing I like to do is mount the unit in an area of high airflow, so that it functions as a supplimental oil cooler.

The orifice size is less than the diameter of a common pin--but greater than a human hair.
As you asking the pressure/flow through the by-pass or the pressure/flow through your FF filter.
If you are asking about pressure and flow through your FF system it will be unchanged. Since the restrictor in the by-pass system only allows a small amount of oil to by-pass(comparitively).
