That sounds like a giant headache, I’m sorry that happened to you but on a lighter note ... Thats super funny. 
I am looking at B&B for my future exhaust with the X-Pipe as well but won’t pull the trigger till about 1500 miles. Looking forward to how you feel when you get the X-Pipe, or when you realize you already have the X-Pipe as well

Just emailed Mike again, haven't heard anything back yet. I'm a bit nervous about posting the new ones for sale until I confirm with him that it is, in fact, one of their exhausts, just with a misspelling. I'll report back here once I hear from him.

Now I wonder what my Bullets say on them.
I had one of the first sets installed on a C7. I should have looked the day before yesterday when I had the oil changed.
Strange, for sure.

Update: Had the Borla X-Pipe installed today and I can finally say I'm happy...for now at least! I'm completely ok keeping the stock sitting around so that I can smog every two years (California).
B&B Bullets + Borla X-Pipe = Very happy camper
Goodbye secondary cats!!
If anyone in the Bay Area would like to have a listen, more than happy to show!
Initial impressions:
B&B Bullets + Borla X-Pipe = Very happy camper
Goodbye secondary cats!!If anyone in the Bay Area would like to have a listen, more than happy to show!
Initial impressions:
- Cold start is slightly louder, but note is definitely deeper (the 15% number that people have commented I agree with)
- I know people have commented the same, but the car "feels" faster and more responsive
- WOT was great before (Bullets only), but is amazing now
- I spend more time at higher RPM's because I love the sound (maybe that's why it feels faster and more responsive), but I know it isn't possible to feel the minimal HP gains
- Update: Now that I've driven around a bit and the initial excitement has died down, I feel like my shifts come at a higher RPM when I look at the HUD. Possible that the revs climb quicker? Or maybe the sound has changed, so I'm shifting using the exhaust tone I've been used to but the equal exhaust tone now occurs at a higher RPM?
- Louder, more pronounced, more burbly downshifts (I have an M7)
- Initial RPM spike/rev during ignition drops quicker than stock
- Clutch seems to shudder less when pulling off - no way this can be attributed to the weight savings...
- Last but not least - I didn't have an aftermarket X-Pipe on my car already!!

Hi Bronx,
I didn’t want NPP so I didn’t get it.I went with B&B PRT.Loud But not loud enough.I went with
A&A supercharger And ARH headers.At WOT it is way to loud.So I don’t keep the petal to
The floor all the time.In your case trial and error.Things happen.
