Yeah I am set on the LT's with no cats but the 2500-3000 rasp shouldn't kill me too much. My buddy has the QTP's with the LM and its not all that bad.
B&B restrictive? I gotta see that...thats not what their site says LoL.

I dunno how restrictive it is. The only reason i'd get rid of it is if i got true duals, but for now i like my B&B so that's my vote and i'm sticking to it. GMMG sounds good but a little loud for my taste, i've had my fair share of loud car driving, i wanna go a while without being as noticed lol.

+1 for GMMG. Sounds badass with longtubes. Driving along, it sounded not as bassy as with stock manifolds, and didn't really seem loud enough to interupt a conversation while driving. It's wasn't until my buddy was like "You have to hear this from behind." So I stepped back about 20 feet and he reved it up. Holy ******' A. Music to my ears. 
I made a shitty clip. LOL. It's just start up and reving. Waiting for somebody to ride shotgun and I'll open it up. Also do a driveby with somebody filming. Hopefully this weekend.

Click here to see Video here is a clip of mine on the dyno w/ LT's, ory and LM. I think it covers a pretty broad spectrum of sounds.
watching that again made me realize how ridiculously loud the LM was. I have a sweet thunder on it now and it tamed it alot. Not as raspy but still loud and doesnt have such a metallic sound to it

As far as comparing the B&B to a Flowmaster 80 series....come on now! LOL
Well, here is a dynosheet....same car, only changes made were the exhaust and the plugs, that's it. This is a 3rd gear pull since my car had a speed limiter set to 117 mph (came with 235/55/16 Eagle GA tires), and since that cuts the fun short on the dyno prematurely, we did some 3rd gear runs just to see what the upper rpms looked like.
So while the B&B might be more restrictive than the GMMG or Loudmouth, it's not as bad as a Flowmaster 80 series!

I just sent an email to Mecham to see if I can get a sound clip or something from them. Hopefully they get back to me so I can post up the clip on here. Even if I don't get it we need to have a clip of it at the least. Its so odd that there are no sounds clips of it anywhere. Can't sound bad at all..can it? lol

I had my B&B and I loved it. Installed the GMMG and it sounds great. I wanted something ridiculously loud with my LE2 package....

I have vids but no idea how to convert them or host em. I am trying to use I-movie on my mac. I should have my dyno one done and converted into a quicktime with music. If I could just get it to work.

I have the B&B and have to say that I love it...relatively quiet at idle, but can still tell its not stock....haven't heard of anybody LOSING horsepower with it, pretty sure it flows just as well as most others...thats the way it was designed! It really sings on the track...its like the sound transforms above 3,000 and sounds great....
I agree with many of the others...Borla doesn't impress me for the money...fit and finish on the B&B is awesome....not so much with others....whatever you go with....its gonna sound better than stock!
