How does a B&B Exhaust Sound??

Hey, I am now thinking of going with a B&B Exhaust. Here is a link of where it is...
http://www.vividracing.com/catalog/p...oducts_id/2404

I found it for cheaper, under $700, and for the ~12HP and ~7 pounds of Torgue. For the price it did not look bad to me. The sound as well sounded mean and "Manly" , not like a coffee can on the back of a civic.

Let me know what you all think or any suggestions.......

i had the b&b, love it if u just get the catback... but i also had the rp midpipe and it got too loud

i switched to greddy exhaust... and i lost so much high end and low end...

i donno about 12 hp and 7tq but compared to greddy, it's far better in my opinion. greddy w/out the midpipe doesn't sound like much at all

if ur not planning to go midpipe in the near future, get the b&b

i've had the B&B exhaust for a over a year now and still feel happy about the purchase. Had a B&B catless midpipe for a while until i couldn't stand the sound and now have a high flow cat. Slight gains but mostly purchased for the sound. If your looking for a nice loud exhaust and don't plan to get a test pipe this is the way to go.

Gotta agree with the two previous posts. I've had the exhaust for about a year and a half and have absolutely no complaints. Its not that loud when cruising around the city, but really wakes up when you get higher into the rpms. I would hold back on the catless midpipe unless you're FI'd and looking for every last bit of hp (plus the FI will tone it down a bit).
