Default B & B Exhaust

Are B & B exhaust systems par with Corsa?

Corsa is famous for their lack of drone...I have both B&B and Corsa and I can attest to the no drone on my Corsa Sports and Beautiful sound from my B&B but they do drone...I have reduced the drone by installing sound deadening but it is still there a bit but no longer annoying...

Both systems are very well made. I had a B&B Route 66 exhaust on my '00 and now have a Corsa Indy Pace Car catback on my '03. The biggest complaint I had with the B&B system is the drone and popping - which was pretty much cured by installing an X-pipe on the car. With the Corsa, no need for the X-pipe as there is no drone or popping.

I was told my Vette came with Corsa exhaust (I even got a video from Corsa that came with the car). But I noticed that the tips are "Speedway" style that come from B & B.

The exhaust is very quiet unless you hit the gas, then it has a very throaty growl.

Now I don't know what I have.

A pic or two of your exhaust would certainly help.

These are speedway tips on B&B PRT"s. There is a another manufacture of this style tip that are closer together. Don't know who that is.

Sorry it took so long to respond, I wasn't home all weekend so I couldn't take a picture till now.

Here is a picture of my exhaust tips. Can you tell what make the exhaust is by these tips?

The exhaust is quiet at idle and constant RPM (driving at a constant speed, you hardly hear it). The harder you hit the gas, the louder it roars. When floored, it almost sounds like uncorked headers. It doesn't pop when you let off the gas.

I have Billy Boat Bullet catback exhaust with X-pipe. Awesome sound at start-up, acceleration, and cruise. Zero drone.

Hope this helps.
