The tolerance of noise is very subjective where as one person wears ear plugs, the other enjoys the deep muscular sound of a B&B system. When you get headers it will get much louder, especially if you dump the cats.
As to the x-pipe I'd buy a 3' one from B&B rather than try to have a shop fabricate it. If they have a 3' mandrel bend machine they could do it, but why not buy one already made with presumably good manufacturing and QC.

Let me clarify - I put the B&B mufflers on, I meant by straight pipes there is no resonator, just pipes from the cats to the mufflers. Open pipes with nothing...wow, that would be ungodly.

That's my setup and it's not as loud as you might think....except for some moderate drone from 1400-1700, it's actually pretty easy to live with....now when headers go on, I'll probably have to make a change.:mrgreen:

I've have been looking at the B&Bs at 3" inlets. I read that SW makes an Xpipe that will slide onto the B&B exhaust.

I agree Jon, and it's only a matter of time b4 I pop the skins off my engine and send `em to Jeff....I'm thinking either B&B w/x pipe or Corsa's to go behind the headers & cats.
