I also have the Power Effect exhaust system. Really love the sound at WOT..They can be toned down but who would want to!! Very quiet at highway speeds and in town they are mellow. My opinion only......
Say what? Mellow?? Well, the zr-1 i heard them on had headers and an x pipe with rt cats... maybe that is why we had to yell at eachother even at a stoplight.

The B&B Bullet system sounds realllly nice on a C5... I would consider them for my Z if they only made a similar sounding system for it! I think the route 66 sounds like sloppy crap...

Not real happy with the Borlas. Once the Jeals come in (3 weeks), I'll install B&Bs.

I installed a borla system on my 305ci 89 IROC, I could actually feel a negative performance effect during low rpms but felt like it revved faster and breathed much better at high rpms. I just wasnt satified so I tried the flowmaster system and wow,... Much, MUCH better performance throught the band, and better sound in my opinion. So yes I agree, borlas dissapointed me on my application too.

Does anyone have a set of Desert Development exhaust laying around they want to get rid of? I've got the pipes but they have Dynomax mufflers on them. I would like to get ahold of a complete set.Charlie

Thought some of you might be interested in this video. Oblviously I love the B & B syetem too. It's a short video of my BEAST on some back Island roads. Poor quality camera work, but it'll at least give you a feel for the sound...has Watson Headers, 3 inch SS exhaust pioes and B & B triflows. No Cats or cross over pipes Click here to watch BEAST2-does-Whidbey-Island

Nice vid Bill! It does give ua feel for the b&b's with the drone in the cockpit ect. The beast does sound great in that one romp where u wind her up! Looks like that DRM BW is working well still! How many miles on the motor now have you? I am presuming that u have the Beast back togather and cruizin again! And we now know u wear glasses and just what ur forehead looks like! Those in car vids are funny that way.
