Default FS: B&B solid 3" from header back with x-pipe....

Officially for sale now. Comes complete from collector back but since it's welded solid, I'll have to cut it into 3 sections to box it up. I'll cut it straight and neat like a slip fit setup and you'll just need to bolt it up at the front and weld the sections back together or have an exhaust shop do it which won't cost much. Everything is here. You'll just need the 4 connecting welds on the existing pipe. I prefer welds over slip fits anyway to ensure no leaks. My car has OBX 1-7/8" long tubes so if u have headers, it'll bolt up. If you have stock manifolds, you'll have to do some very minor fab work to extend it out.

Comes with:
-Kooks catless connectors
-DMH low profile cutout ports (I'll install the plates so u can open them manually, keep them sealed or attach your own electric cutouts)
-3" X-pipe
-B&B 3" mufflers with 4.25" tips

Very nice setup. I have had it installed for about a month. There are pics and videos of this setup here from when I had it fabbed up. I'll post links. Sounds amazing! Best sounding system on a V hands down but low RPM drone gets a little old. Its perfectly fine at highway speed but in 6th at 50-55 at 1400-1500rpms's, its bad and considering my drive to and from work involves a lot of city stretches where I'm at that speed, I'm changing my setup again. Yeah i know i can downshift and drive around in 5th until im actually on the highway but im not a fan of running in the higher rpms if i dont need to. I'm going back to Corsa because I drive too much now to deal with the drone. Interior noise is subjective. What's bad to me may not bother someone else. With the windows down, there is no drone at any rpm.

Anyway, I'm looking for $700 shipped for everything which I think is fair considering it's all new and quality work with the cutout ports already welded in.

Don't let what I say about the drone scare u away. I've heard far worse systems drone wise, I just don't want any at all so I'll be running corsa with electric cutouts.

Lmk fellas!

You can fix the drone with about $200 worth of damper and MLV focused on specific vulnerabilities. If you want more detail, let me know.

I really just don't feel like messin with it bud. Already picked up a complete corsa catback with low miles. I don't like the sound of the corsa quite as much as the deep and aggressive B&B but it was silent inside the car with the corsa i had before and considering I'll still have my electric cutouts once I order the new ports/mounts, I'll have the best of both worlds.

I believe I advised the corsa about 6months ago...but three exhausts later we are finally in sink) I hope you at least took some vids of the different exhausts cause thats a hell of a review for those looking to buy one.

I have clips of 5 different variations of exhaust setups between this V and my last one. Lol oh well... I actually enjoy making changes to my car. Otherwise, I'd be bored.

only thing I notice with the corsa is i will get that sucker to pop at certain shift points. I think its a combination of no cats/headers/h/c/maybe a sh!tty tune.... Think the main reason is cause its catless though. Wonder what other people are saying. Also there are two corsas... the sport version I have tends to get obnoxious above 3500-4000

Yeah... I had the sport and I have the sport again. My old setup didn't even have the resonators that come with the catback. Headers, no cats, mag x-pipe and corsa sport. I have a cam also. The reason I got rid of it the first time is cause it would scream above 3k. I'd get the occasional pop too. Sounds good though, just a little higher pitched than I typically like up top. But... No drone is worth it IMO.

I'm curious if I should run it with the resonators? I hear they start rattling over time. I still have a 2.5" magnaflow X I can weld in place of them if that's the better option.

Are you guys running headers and no cats running the corsa resonators or an x-pipe with your corsa sport system?

I have the corsa resonators but I think if you pull those out it may get rid of some rattle I occasionally get...but then again it may cause a drone who knows???

Def no drone. Ran an X in place before when i had corsa. Sounds good with no rattle. I'm hesitant to even install the resonators due to the dreaded rattle issue but I'm curious as to how the sound is affected with and without them. Drone doesn't change. I can vouch for that.

Or just call B&B and get the cones that are made for this that fit in the pipes.

I have the mid-resonator and the smaller B&B bullet resonators in the garage. I just didn't want to change the sound outside the car.

I'm going corsa now... unless the car sells before then. I guess I'll try it first with the resonators in place and remove them if I want it louder. Stone... I'll let you know if I'm going to sell them. The corsa I had before sounded good with no cats and x-pipe in place of resonators but a little raspy. No drone though either way.

How much for the mid-resonator and B&B bullet resonators?

This is for my other car.
