Default B&B Performance Exhaust Systems?

I am thinking of buying new exhaust for my Camaro, just wanted to get some feed back on the B&B performance exhaust systems. Does anyone have it on their car? Looks good, sounds good, and performs well? Or would you recomend something else? Currently on my car I have an exhaust system by Flowmaster. Thanks for any help you can give?

Well if you have the money go with GMMG or Duals. I have not ever heard B&B in my life so I dont know how it sounds.

I have heard good things about GMMG exhaust. I thought that the performance gains that you would get from true dual exhaust isn't worth the hasle of it all, and it would just be better to get a cat-back exhaust system. But I could be wrong. Thats just what I read in a book I have on LS1 Camaros. I would say about $800 is as much as I'm willing to spend on a new exhaust set up. Is it much more than that for true dual exhaust? And is the clearance a issue? Thanks for the feed back!

I switched from true duals to a hooker cat back because of clearance issues, and sadly, I lost alot of power judging by seat of the pants testing. The car just feels like shi* right now. Maybe the computer needs to relearn since I haven't had a muffler since the car was new (SLP loudmouth before the true duals).

You might get a better response in the external engine section

EDIT: I've also heard the B&B doesn't flow very well. I don't have any experience with this, but a search should bring up some useful threads about it.

P.S. Anything would be an upgrade from the Flows you have right now.

I had it on my Hawk for awhile. It sounds ok and the tips are ok but I eventually dumped it for my 'stock' 2OTL.

Back in the day, 3-4 years ago, lots of LS1'rs were getting the B&B and they loved it for it's deep thoaty, grown up sound. There were sound clips at one time. I think the B&B dual tips are some of the nicest around.....

I had came across some pictures of the quad tipped B&B exhaust, and thought that it looked really good. I will have to listen to some sound clips of it to see if I like the sound of it or not, before I make up my mind. Thanks for your replys!

The Tri Flow tips are just way too big IMHO . . . on a Camaro . .

OMG I just felt dated in the F-body world. Back in '98-'99 B&B was one of the hottest cat back around. They are one of the best looking in my opinion. In fact, I still have mine on the SS.

The sound is deep, however not overly loud. Exhaust since then have come out with louder tones. Many still think my B&B sounds incredible (when the cutout is capped). However I do have long tubes, no cats, and off-road pipe.

I have B&B quads on the car, but I mostly got them for the looks



Wish I had better pics, but they're at home.
