I ordered mine for MidAmerica. I think they were cheaper than direct(at least when I ordered mine).

Expect to pay a lot for them, but they are worth every penny!

Imho...

I know there's alot of "noise" over opinions. I purchased mine thru Lingenfelter. VERY LOUD! I can't say that enough. WIth that said, if noise is what you're looking for, it will be well worth it. If I'd had a chance to drive a 91 L98 w/SS headers, Random Tech cat and the B&B Tri-Flow before I bought mine, I would have kept looking... 99% certain that I would have gone w/Corsa. The noise wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't for the "resonance" at 1600-1900rpm.

We're not too far away from one another and I have a very similar setup to what you have. I have the older exhaust (1997 I think) with TPIS headers, no cats and a Dr Gas x-pipe. I love the sound but it's not for everyone. It does resonate below 2k but my answer to that is don't drive it at those rpms.

Much easier to do in a 6-spd. I never thought this was an exhaust for an automatic.

If you ever make it over to the Orlando area I'll let you hear it.

BTW, if I recall T Byrne (Forum vendor) was selling these at a pretty good price at one time.

I believe that they have recently changed the design of the mufflers to help with the resonance issue. I think they changed it a few years ago.

I didn't think my catback alone was very loud. I was almost disappointed that is wasn't louder. I have the new design.

If search pulls it up, I posted a thread last year, that someone attached an audio file to of their B&B's. Sounded great, and won me over!

Good luck finding it! maybe that person will repost it here for ya!

I recall something similar. If you do a search in the ZR1 forum they had a GP going last year (I think). If I recall correctly I have seen them selling in the $8XX range through forum vendors.

Good luck. Like others have said they do reasonate and are loud (I have the old style mufflers) but if that is what you are after you will love them.
