What do you have planned? Let me know how much you want for them, how old are they and the condition.

I'm doing a custom setup involving Supertrapp mufflers. The B&B's were put on in the late 90's I think. Currently they have 4in Supertrapp disc only mufflers for tail pipes - you can run wide open (loud!) or add discs to mellow out the exhaust note. Also have the original squared/oval B&B tips. I can send you some pics via email if you like. I'll take $100 plus shipping for the mufflers.

Does anybody have additional soundfiles or videos of Corsa,Power Effects or B&B ?

Surely the best would be a reality check, but I only know the real time sound of B&B - like it very much.

But Corsa could be also very interesting. As far as I heard it is a heavy tinny racing-like clang. B&B however seems to sound more V8 vibrant and Power Effects a middle thing of these two.

Many agree, the B & B sound very healthy, but the resonance is terrible.
Here's my car, with Watson Headers, and Corsa, it sound tinny?

me on the right

OK...B&B it is. I have a 91 which had a Borla exhaust with SS tubing when I purchased the car. Was this stock? Where do I get the B&B system? Any part numbers?

Thanks for any help!

I didn't see your post Roger as many people know a vote updates the thread and don't always check.

As you might imagine the Borla is not stock. If you want a B&B system there are different vendors that carry it. Personally I got mine from T Byrne Motorsports when they had a group purchase going. There regular price is nothing special, but check with them to see when their next special will be.

Otherwise just look for different vendors that carry it to compare prices.

Find me a set of Corsa mufflers only and I'll trade you a vertually brand new set of B&B mufflers. I want to try reducing the B&B 3" down to 2.5" just before the mufflers and stick the Corsa mufflers in place of the B&B Triflow.

I want to see if I can kill the resonance.

Find me a set of Corsa mufflers only (and they have to be in excellent shape) and I'll trade you a vertually brand new set of B&B mufflers. I want to try reducing the B&B 3" down to 2.5" just before the mufflers and stick the Corsa mufflers in place of the B&B Triflow.

you might want to try that xpipe muf/resonator . I went 3in to it and 21/2 after with spin tec mufflers /dual outlets. at the drag strip this was worth .15-.19 and almost 2 mph over the stk flowmaster setup
