I don't know from experience, but others on here have said that if you add an X- pipe that it will eliminate it.

**Get an X-Pipe**
The Corsa cost $300, Bassani=$400, Borla=$400, Magnaflow=$300*I personally like the (Bassani) but thats just my opinion..My second choice would be probably the magnaflow. These Xpipes are rated at about 4-6 HP each on average. I used to have the Bassani before the 3" Kooks & they make a great product which I thought sounded great and elimated 100% of the popping. Best of luck~CHRiS~
*A good X pipe should help with the sound you described..Hope this helps

An X pipe will HELP, but will not eliminate burbling. I put a Corsa X pipe in frint of my Corsa Indies, but got limited results.

You need a different set of mufflers. Magnaflow's exhaust sounds like a deep muscle car rumble, not an outboard motorboat sound.

I thought that was part of b&b's trade mark sound?
