B&B Question
I recently purhcased a 99 FRC that has a B&B Triflow setup from the X pipe back. I am interested in adding some long tube headers down the road, and I'm curious as to whether anyone can tell me if doing so will increase the loudness of the car significantly. The car is pretty damned loud as it sits, and I really wouldn't want it much louder... Of course, I do want to go the route of headers, so if it will get a lot louder, I'm assuming there would be a different setup I could go with to replace the B&B that would have a little more mild tone?
Also, down the road even further, when I (hopefully) go with a heads/cam package, will that modification make a loud system even louder?

If your exhaust is loud now, you probably have the bullets or PRT system on the car. Adding headers most likely will make it louder. You could always go with the Route 66 system if you want to stick with B&B.

I have PRT's and A.R. LT's headers/cats and X on my o2. What a great sound and performance gain! A bit louder at low rpm with the addition of header pkg. Screams at wot. Quite at cruise. Hope this helps. Hard to discribe sound.

What is this "mild tone" you speak of? And WHY would one want to search for it?
Just kidding. I would definitely do a search, though. There have been a LOT of people that changed out their catback once they got headers and/or heads and cam. Quite a few go to a Z06 TI system. They are extremely cheap, easy to find, and are a good overall system to compliment your intended setup.
