If you get the Loud version it will be VERY LOUD - great track system- might be a bit to much for the street.

sounds great on the track though-

Early systems had cracking issues around the welds...

Its priced riight for what it is...


hope that helps...........

There are two B&B exhausts: GT and LeMans

GT = Loud
LeMans = More quiet

I can only speak for the GT version as that is what I had on my car for a few months: DO NOT get tthe B&B GT! Seriously, if you value your life, DO NOT get it. The low frequency resonance is beyond what I can describe. The closest thing it would relate to involves the idea of having to "pop" your ears when you go up in a plane. You get the same feeling. This happens around 1900-2200rpm.

I believe that NC Bob (?) has the B&B LeMans, though. Perhaps he will chime in...

From what I've heard the B&B system has a lot of resonance.

The GT system is unbearable. Do not even think about the GT system.
However, I've had the LeMans system on for 3.5 years using 100 cell cats and have never had a cracked weld or a CEL. Sound is louder than OEM, but not intrusive. No resonance. If you want a good system for under $2,000, the B&B is it. Damn, I sound like a broken record. Been telling this story for too many years.

...and I keep pointing them to you for advice on the B&B LeMans system.
