OK it's time for a new cat back........
 

I'm tired of having my B&B welded all the time and having it keep cracking! What is a good free flowing system that has the least amount of rasp? Any suggestions?

Don't know if it will look as good an a Z as on my WS6 but the Corsa sure sounds good.

Corsa is nice, but I like Borla. It has a little rasp when running with the plate wide open, but if you close it off, it sounds mean as hell.

Magna flo has a great sounding deep tone to it. Not as loud as say Borla or Loudmouth.

No problems with my GMMG Chambered System and everyone loves the sound. The choice is yours'.

Enjoy your cars.

Just to really confuse you, I think the Hooker is the best sounding catback with headers & ORY...

good luck,

I have my b and b for probably 10 to 15 thousand miles..no problems with mine so far..where is it cracking..won't they do anything about it for you..???? I would think if its tig welded you would be good to go..I think I would go for corsa if I didn't have my b and b ..buddies magnaflow does sound good too and borlas sound great on lt1s but don't like their tips.

It's aways cracking right at the pass. side of the muffler where the 3" pipe goes in. I've had it welded 3 times and it breaks again beside the weld because there's too much pressure from the weight on it at that spot.(B&B is one heavy ass cat back) This time they put a brace but between the cracking and the rasp (B&Bs are the worst for rasp), I'm looking to change.

What about Random Technology? Any comments?

If you don't have headers, I wouldn't suggest getting the Hooker. It looks and sounds nice though. It's very tame with through stock manifolds and cats even at WOT IMO. I have the Hooker catback and I wish I would've went another route. Hindsight is always 20/20 though.

The idle sounds nice - its a deep burble - yours would be even nicer with H&C. Also, if you race at the track much, it's 3 bolts to take off the muffler & tip assembly, for a nice weight savings & some improved flow...
good luck,
Shane
PS: FYI, I had a Hooker on my '99 for ~30K miles with no problems. I traded it in with that on there though, so I picked up a new Hooker for the '02.
