I kinda like it, but would want to hear it in person from the inside of the car. The B&B system for the Z32 was way too loud inside the car.

I agree the price doesn't sound too bad compared to some of the other exhaust systems currently available but I would like to know if anyone has heard it live. I like the sound when its reved, however, I wonder how loud this sounds from inside the car. I don't want it to be too loud. Has anyone seen or heard live the demo car that has it installed?
Thanks.
Victor

SEMA
We are getting a B&B for a SEMA car. So for all of you that are in So Cal or Las Vegas can probably get a chance to hear it in person.
I'm probably going to get one for my car real soon too, so those in Nor Cal. Maybe we can do rides to hear what its like outside and in the car
Just a thought... Also there is one in Arizona going around, he stops by the Pavillion car show and he loves the exhaust so far.

It's funny how everyone is saying the price isn't bad at 900 bucks, of course it doesn't after 2000 to 3000, it's like getting hit in the head repeatedly if they slow down it feels better. The problem we have is that the prices for aftermarket products are being based on the price of the car and assumption that if people were able to afford the car they can afford more expensive aftermarket products. The Borla system I bought for my 22K car was only 550 why can't the B&B or any others be at least 650 to 700???

I am new to the site as you may be able to tell. I completely agree with westpak. I had a 99 civic and had an Apexi cat back exhaust, I paid 500 for it. I see the CAI and ECU are going for around the same price as other model cars.

Last week for B&B
This is the last week for the Specials on the B&B so if you guys have any other questions on the B&B as far as pricing power or sound goes. Please feel free to e-mail us at (408)364-0156 or e-mail us at Service@StrictlyZ.com
In responce to WestPak's question and others. I wish everything was cheaper, but unfortunately its not. Its just the way the market is. If these exhaust's were massly produced I'm sure the pricing would be a lot cheaper.
But B&B makes every exhaust on order. There are about 5 or 6 different exhaust systems that will be coming out, and the pricing I think will be very close to the 1000 price area.

Thanks yuichi for the offer of group buys and my comments are in general, but if exhausts are going to be around 1000 I will wait until all are out and make sure which one make the most HP for the 1000 bucks and not jump on the first one to save a couple of bucks and then see one that puts out 10HP for 1000 bucks later or more. Are the 6.5 HP at peak or throughout the power curve? Any picture of the powere and torque curves.

Westpak,
I'm supposed to get the dyno sheet fairly soon from B&B. Another company recently did a true dual exhaust and came up with around the same HP which was around the 6. This is from the Cats back.
Unfortunately the only reason I don't like this set up is because inorder to fit 2 seperate mufflers they needed to flare the ends out, also it is quite loud.
I understand you waiting but if you have bought B&B before you'll find out that they are rarely discounted. That is part of the reason its appealing. I do hope some exhaust systems out there will gain more hp then 6. But I still think its hard for every company to gain more horses.
Hope I'm wrong

Thanks for info, thruthfullly nobody might be able to get much more in that I think Nissan has done a pretty good job with that they did.
Please post curves as soon as you get them. To be thruthful I like the sound of the B&B in your clip I think it sounds nicer than the current one, can you say if it is obnuctiously (sp?) loud? The Borla I have on my other car sometimes gets annnoying when on the highway at just 2000 rpm, any interior noise increase from the B&B?
Also, I know you say to call but can you say what the group buy price is? Can you PM or email me if you don't want to post?

if it retails at 895...i hope it can come down to about 500 bucks... Is it loud from inside the car? Because I feel like the 350 Z will feel mentally a lil sportier if we can actually hear some engine noise in the car a lil better, outside too..
will this exhaust system spit out some flames?...heh that would be way cool...i want some flambe out of the mufflers man...

B&B exhaust group buy
I am seriously considering getting in on the deal Yuichi is putting together, but need to find a shop in South Florida to get the exhaust installed. Anyone in the South Florida area know of a shop that does this kind of install for a reasonable price?

Yuichi, any welding required or only clamps?
If the answer is only clamps the only thing requiring real work is cutting of the existing system.
