Default Billy Boat X-pipe

Anyone have any experience with the Billy Boat X-pipe? They look to be built almost identical to the Borla. Just curious if they sound like them too. I know Billy Boat makes a quality product but I have never heard one with a stock exhaust.

I just ordered one as the Borla's are gone and couldn't find a Manzo in stock. Mine does not arrive until next Tuesday so I don't have any feedback but I'm also curious to hear from anyone who has one installed.

It’s scheduled to arrive Tuesday so I probably won’t have time to install it until next weekend. I’ll post some feedback once it’s installed and I get some drive time with it. I purchased it here: https://weaponxmotorsports.com/colle...iant=437335509

I assume that it will sound like the Borla as they both only have a single cross over.

Interesting that the Billy Boat x-pipe doesn't have the pegs for the stock hanger bracket like the Corsa has. At least that's what the picture shows. Makes me wonder if that could cause problems.

Thats interesting. I never took notice of that. A quick call to Billy Boat would answer that question. I can’t help but think Billy Boat has this figured out. They make a quality product.

I assume that is just an older stock image as the images on Billy Boat’s site show the pegs. https://www.bbexhaust.com/shop/chevy...ipe-fcor-0630/ I’ll confirm once I receive the x pipe.

I received the x pipe yesterday and can confirm it does include pegs for the hanger. More to come once I have time to install the x pipe.

Got it installed yesterday, hardest part was getting the original off. Fit and finish is great, everything bolted right up. First impression of the sound is that it amplified everything and sounds a bit more aggressive. Not a huge difference at idle but get above 3k RPM and it wakes up. It did exactly what I wanted in making the car a bit louder without adding drone or being too loud. I’ll try and get some sound clips posted in the near future.
