I would have thought that the B&B would have flowed better then the Magnaflow Caleb? Certainly looks like a better piece, but I am no exhaust guy.

Had a custom 3" exhaust made on my 396 a few years ago which includes interchangeable high flow cats and off-road pipes that bolt directly to the Hooker Headers. The exhaust also has an x-pipe. Kept the Power Effects tuneable modules out back which you can open and close which helps on noise. Also put in sound deadening material in the rear hatch under the carpet.
With the off-road pipes on pick up 10HP/15LBS of TQ throughout the whole curve. It is loud but close the modules when driving to track. With the cats on and the modules closed in the off season, the noise is not bad at all.
This whole set up was $800 as I remember. Looking at replacing the Hooker Headers with the stepped ARH 1 3/4 - 1 7/8.

I could not believe how restrictive the reasonator looks inside. I dont want to get my hopes up to high but I am expecting gains in the 15-20 rwhp/rwtq dept. The car goes like stink now, and getting rid of that restriction will make her breath even better.
The only drawback of the x-pipe is that my neighbours wont like the exhaust mod, and I may have to wear ear plugs.
