Looks good to me. I did the same thing.

I bought my Bullets used on ebay directly from B&B. They had dyno testing on a handful of cars took the pipes off and sold them on ebay. They repolished the whole thing, included gaskets, paperwork, and the hardware for mounting. They looked brand new when I got them.

The best part...I payed $390.

I absolutely refuse to pay $600+ for a Catback exhaust setup. Not ever going to happen.

Single tips, I wouldn't have it any other way. The exhaust sounds insanely good. Not as good as the Mustang I had prior to this car, but much better than the stock setup for sure.

I've seen new B&B dual tips go for $525 so you got a pretty good buy for 400 shipped. I sold my quad tips for about $500 shipped.

Hopefully the dual tips are easier to align than the quads... I really had a tough time with those. Overall though, great sounding exhaust.

To answer your question, yes that is an older design, not because of the tip count but rather because of flange connection. I just got a new set of dual tips and they (afaik) are not using the flange between the axle hoop and tip pipe anymore. With the newer style the axle hoop slips into the tip pipe and is secured with a clamp. This allows you more adjustability when mounting, the older (flange) style would limit your ability to tweak or square the tips before clamping.

You're gonna LOVE the sound (if you like it loud !!!!)
