Default B&B Performance Exhaust Systems?

Just wanted to get some info about the B&B exhaust system for camaros. Has anyone had it? How did it perform, sound, and look? Do you have any pictures you could post. Or would you recomend something else? I am thinking about changing the exhaust on my Z28. Right now I have a flowmaster exhaust system. Thanks for any help you can give!

Right now, anything is better than a flowmaster. B&B seems to look nice on Camaros, but not many people have it. I guess its somewhat comparable to the Magnaflow catback in performance and sound.

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.....

What exhaust note are you looking for? It's not going to be as loud as other systems (gmmg), and don't expect huge gains, maybe a couple of horses. I have to agreee with smokinws6, those are some damn nice tips.

I had the B & B cat-back on my car. IMO, it was too quiet, too heavy, and overpriced. I recommend the Magnaflow instead....You can get that for $350.00 by a sponsor on the site. Do a search for Nasty and Magnaflow.

I have heard a B&B setup a few years back on a guys car and IMO it sounded really good. It was deep and throaty, you could tell it had a v8, but it was quiet. Also, the tips were very nice.

I had B&B on my first LS1, loved the sysyem, looked great. polished all the way. really fancy clamps to. If I had the money I would buy it again. My car is not nice enough to justify a $650 cat-back. I don't think you would be dissappointed or not see where your money went

^ I guess you have euro lights for a reason.

Tips look great (but we can still see your lic. tag number!)..

Get lots of stares driving that thing around over there?

Yes SouthFL.02.SS I like the euro lights better than the original. I think GM also have to change the tail lights to Japan style!!! one day. You wait and see for 5:th gen. camaros. We have many camaros in Sweden from -67 --02. I bought my Z from Germany, 2 years ago. GM made alot of them for the europe market, you can se some diffrent in style from US modell. If you look at my homepage you can find out that I was living in FL, Stuart in mid -70. I will be over next springtime, for Bike week.
And please don`t tell about my licens no...........

Greatings from Sweden.
