I sold my B&B system because of resonance not performance but what I seem to remember about the system was:

- no choke point from the collector to the resonator.
- there was a reduction into the resonator.
- there was a reduction into the mufflers.
- there was a reduction into the tailpipes.

I'll apologize in advance if my memory of the system is wrong.

I replaced the B&B with a Corsa system and I am very pleased with performance, tone, and resonance. If I could change anything it would be the fake tailpipe outlet on each Corsa muffler. I also spoke with Marc Haibeck about the Corsa vs the B&B and what I remember him saying is he has found no difference between the two with his top end package and factory displacement engines but has seen differences with stroker engines and Corsa systems. After reading Pauls analysis (and others) it would appear B&B and Corsa have nothing on the Magnaflow system in the way of quality, resonance, and tone and it remains to be seen whether the Magnaflow system proves to be better than Corsa and no worse than B&B.

The only other thing is I still want to see is whether the tailpipes visually compliment the ZR1s big fat butt! Until proven otherwise, this is still where B&B has them all beat.
