Glad to see someone got a B&B. Not many people have them, and they sound GREAT, very deep and mean.

I've had a B&B Triflow on my Firehawk for the past 8 years. Has held up great, and always had an excellent tone. They are pricey, but typically worth it. Glad to see they offer them for the Coopers too.

I've always like their systems, esp. because very few think to buy thier, which equalls a little something different.

My low quality camera video doesn't quite cut it lol. i don't get droning at highway speeds really. I get more of a low drone driving at lower speed like local roads (such as when i am hitting the gas lightly and not agressively). It isn't obnoxiously loud and doesn't bother me on my commute (40 min each way on highway and local).

Sounds pretty good. I'd put it right up there with the Invidia.

Does that company have a web page? I am still debating on what exhaust to get for my 03' MCS.. I dont want to sound like some cheap low budget honda that I see around San Diego. That tone was nice and deep with out sounding bad.

I didn't want that high pitched "bumble bee" sound either, thats why i went with the B&B. Their site is: http://www.bbexhaust.com/

if you want me to try and take a video of the car driving by or accelerating let me know.
