Brought home a Raven coupe
I swore I'd never own a black car again, but I found one that had all the options I wanted (MT, Recaros, Suede, Sunroof) for short money so I bit the bullet. It's too quiet for my taste so I have a B&B catback w/ black tips coming. I am coming out of an Audi RS4 and while I liked the car it was just too slow and with no torque. The dealership where I bought the V gave me the contact info for kdinnovatíons and their website looks really good.
Got some things I want to do and will be searching the site for ideas.

Re: Brought home a Raven coupe
Nice choice and congrats! I was in the same boat (not wanting another dark colored car and swore off black) but ended up with an awesome black raven. It is clearly the best color for a V.

Re: Brought home a Raven coupe
Congrats! I went Borla full catback and it is the perfect sounding exhaust. You may find the B&B to be too quiet. That's the main complaint about B&B among forum guys.

Congrats, I have BB cat back on my 2011 sedan and I love the sound. Certainly not quite.

Hah. Your video is what convinced me to buy a B&B.

That's no way to treat a COLD engine! Ever heard of a warm up? Works for an IC engine too and is where the term originated! Rapping on a cold engine is no good.... IMO Originally Posted by boplaw

Re: Brought home a Raven coupe
Congrats indeed!
I only buy black cars with gray interior. Love the color combination, and while they do show everything, they are just stunning when clean!

Re: Brought home a Raven coupe
Pardon my ignorance...what is a B&B? complete system or just mufflers?
Very cool sound, mine is a bit quite...

Could you share how to post the picture in a message?
Can't figure it out

What headers did you go with? I contacted B&B to see if they are in the jig yet but haven't heard back. Originally Posted by keithsm2 awe nice... its really good with windows down.....windows up.....its not a huge difference......and I HAVE headers....just FYI

Re: Brought home a Raven coupe
I went with B & B.....took a few weeks...but everything matched up with a complete system front to back....
To embed a video....there is a button above where you type if you hover the mouse over it that says...Insert video.....click it and then it will give you a place to cut and paste the address where the video is from....hope that helps...

PS: B*B is short for Billy Boat.....

Re: Brought home a Raven coupe
Yes, I heard back from my vendor where I bought the exhaust. Fit and finish were acceptable, I assume ? Originally Posted by keithsm2
