Default B&B Exhaust

Just installed a new B&B 3" catback with the B&B built Xpipe.
Sounds good- can compress your chest cavity with pressure under throttle, A low tone no question about that. I miss headers thats for dam sure. the stock manifolds silence engines purr too much- so headers are next.
I wouldn't worry about drone, if you want a tammer sound get corsa or obx.
Might get the OBX headers.
All in all a great system.
I forgot to mention my car has no carpet or insulation on the floor. Have you seen how thick the floor is on these cars?

Id like a bit more rasp but the headers will take care of that.
I wasn't getting any drone at all. Took it out on the highway might be a bit defiantly not an issue, I dont know, Glad I grabbed it with the x-pipe for 550$ plus shipping Ive seen the x go for 300$
Fits **** also.

Are you using the OEM cats? I reinstalled the OEM cats and I have a solid rumble with the Magnaflows.

The trip to the Hearst Castle was good, I got no headache or migraines.

Now, I got this brand new OBX system laying on my living room.

Ya its the stock cats actually its pretty tame, am going to put on longtubes pry the OBX. For some reason the right side comes up a bit short on both systems. pipes.
Nothing wrong with the OBX at all.
Going to order the headers.. Soon
B&b is a good system.

The massive drone I had with the Magnaflows was created by the hi-flow cats I had. Once I re-installed the OEM cats the nightmare and headaches went away.
