Default How well does B&B flow

How well does the B&B catback flow? I have a bolt on ws6 that i´m putting LT headers and catted y pipe on and i dont want to lose any power. I have a cutout but its gonne be to loud in the car with it open, i dont want any rasp.

I like the sound of B&B, but its to quiet, maybee it will get better with headers.

I have been thinking of LM? will it be a huge diff like 10hp from B&B?

i dont have any experience with B&B, but i can tell you catbacks dont differ all that much in my opinion. except the flowmaster. LM sounds good. some people dont like the sound of it with headers. lots of rasp. you are gonna have some form of rasp until you have a true dual setup. at least thats what i have heard on some of the cars around town here. hope this helps a little.

you will always have rasp if you dont have cats. the LM will flow the best but its going to be unbearably loud and have so much drone and rasp you'll wanna wreck after 10 mins of driving it

I asked the same question about a year ago. What most of the people said then was that it didn't flow that well. I also like the sound. You could just get it and when you want to have the power open the cutout.

I know it sounds good. I have a friend that ran it for a long time. I imagine that it flows pretty well. He put down 404/388 cam only. Must be good for something!
