Default B&B Triflo Power?

I don't see much on the B&B Triflo on LS1Tech, but a guy around here has them on his T/A, and they sound really good and look even better.

I was wondering what sort of power they rob from a head/cam setup vs a cutout or exhaust like the Magnaflow/GMMG? I can't seem to find any info pertaining to this. Thanks!

Dont know about the power loss/affect. but B&B are nice, with nice quad tips. They got more interest a few years ago but seamed to have fallen by the wayside on the LS1 sites.

I thought the B&B was nice also until I found out the catback alone is >$800...

I posted, asking about how good they actually are.

Basically, everyone responded that it doesn't flow worth a damn... so I took the safe route and replaced it with a Hooker catback. ( B&B was on the car when I bought it )

I actually like the Hooker sound better, and I hear it flows right with the best of them... plus it was $310 shipped.
I liked how the B&B sounded, except when I got rid of the cats.. and I had never heard the Hooker Aerochamber in person.

From what I recall, the B&B was rated high for quality, good looking quad tips and mature sound (for the old folks) not really a performance or economy system........I think they look good and sound good....imo...

Ive got B&B TriFlo on my SS. I dont know what type of flow or power loss Im getting, but I know it sounds good.

I probably wont keep it on there for much longer. I plan on going the True Dual route shortly
