Exhaust... which way do i go??

[ajlanglois]

Im looking for suggestions as to what exhaust set-up i should buy and install on 07 V and i could not think of a better group of individuals to ask. Has anyone experienced any problems with any specific company that i should steer clear of? I appreciate any input.

B&B all the way!!

The Corsa exhaust was installed on my car when I bought it, sounds great but I wish it was louder. I'm probably going to be adding an x-pipe in the near future. If I were to do it myself I would probably go with the B&B.

The most popular are Magnaflow, Corsa and B&B. A few people have borla or Zumers. Most are $1100-$1300, but you can find a Magnaflow for about $600.
You wont get much power out of any of them. I went with whatever sounded good. I like the Magnaflow for the deep rumble. And it doesn't kill me on the highway. I like it quiet on long trips.
I know that mine (and some other brands) the tips don't line up just right. You have to play with them a while, but no big deal.
B&B has 3" pipes and most (all?) of the others have 2 1/2" pipes.

Check the FAQ and go on utube for some sound clips.

When I made my decision it was based on price, for $600 I was able to get a brand new Magnaflow setup and it sounds and looks great. I'm sure that a B*B or Zoomers would maybe sound a little bit better, but not $500+ better

You tube is your friend. There are plenty of exhaust videos there. Here are a couple videos that may help.

Of course my vote is Magnaflow then adding Kooks headers once the cat back system has lost its luster.

B&B

Another, cheaper alternative is what I'm in the process of doing. I'll be buying an x-pipe and replacing my mufflers with tips (straight pipe). Significantly cheaper alternative.

You will not be dissappointed with B*B.....Nice big pipes....bigger Tips....very shiny I think they sound great....A little drone at about 1800 rpm......Maybe you dont get this with an X-Pipe....Mine is a resonator. The drone is at about 50 mph in 6th gear....so not a problem at interstate speeds...and can always use 5th to get away from it.....

B*B!!!!!!

I did the same, except I swapped out the stock mufflers with magnaflows. Link in sig.

I'm thinking it's the other way around. X-pipe = more drone.

Nothing wrong with going the cheap route. Your really not getting anything other than sound from an exhaust on out cars. An X-pipe and a couple of mufflers installed might be 300 bucks.

I put B&B (with resonator) on my '05 and I absolutely love it. It's a nice deep rumble at low rpm's, and once I get going on the highway I hardly notice it

I didnt know which had more....just know there is SOME with the resonator...on B*B.....but nothing to worry about with a standard transmission

This is what B&B Headers, downpipes, resonator and mufflers sounds like.

I would be happy if that was the last noise I heard as I merged with a tree.
