Hey guys my flowmasters are giving me a headache. They make great noise but the drone is a bit overbearing at times and its just always loud even when not on throttle. Anyone have any experience with the b&b route 66 exhaust? I want my car to still sound mean when on the throttle but to be a bit more quiet when cruising.

This horse has died many times over but to save you some searching time: go Corsa Sports. Throaty and very audible at idle and throttle, quiet on the run.

Thanks for the advice. Any other comments on this?

I have them on my 2005 coupe, 6 speed and they have a bark on acceleration and quiet at cruise and idle.
I just installed a Corsa Sport on a customers 2005 convertible 6 speed and it's louder at idle than the BB but mild at cruise and louder still when you are in the throttle.
Both are good and no drone...

Cool, thanks for the advice.

I have heard them and they aren't much louder than stock. You may find them too quiet. Best thing you can do is go for a ride with someone in your area that has an exhaust you are considering. B&B offers a variety of exhausts that offer a wide range of sound, from mild (Route 66) to wild (Bullets). There are some in the middle that you may find to your liking.

I have them on my coupe and my wifes convertible, love them.

I have the B&B Route 66 on my LS2 convertible, and there is some drone between 1500 and 1800 rpm. They are noticeably louder than stock under ALL conditions, and scream at full-throttle, high rpm.

The stock system was so quiet that I could not "shift by ear" so I needed something better. I don't like the drone, but I have gotten used to it.

I agree. You will get used to the drone at low rpm's. It is a good bit louder than stock, the 4 - 4" pipes look great, and it's not so loud that it will drive you insane, ie bullets

I just ordered a B&B Fusion dual mode after driving a friends for a nice hour ride on the parkway. It is honestly the best of both worlds, shuts down to about 5% drone when you valves and sounds great when open. I was searching the topic as well and that seemed to be the best bet for me, the GF would hate road trips with constant drone... Good luck I am installing mine this week. Youtube some options.

thank you all for the input.

The fusion worked great for me as well. Great quality and no drone on mine in the quiet position.

Good Luck!

I'm looking for another exhaust for my c5. "in the quiet position"? What does that mean?


Thanks....

the fusions are a bi-mode exhaust like the npp exhaust. the "quiet" position is in the "closed" position.

I had B & B Route 66 on my 2005 LS2. I put American Racing long tubes on it. Loved the sound. No drone at all.

Just go all out with some bullets!

Fusion.

Corsa = no drone. It is all about the frequency not volume.
