I recieved an offer to buy the B&B from a Corvette Forum member, new in box. I am trying to reach him now. A purchase from an authorized dealer might be smarter given your recent experience. I will see if I can find a dealer who will sell me the B&B at a reasonable price and it does not look like Tbyrne is going to help me do that, when I mentioned your suggestion of a group price, she practically laughed at me and said maybe last year. Whatever!

It sound to me like you got this woman on a bad day. I cannot remember the gentleman, nor the subsequent woman who helped me, but it was night and day compared to what you are dealing with. I had priced the system for several months through various sources, and when Tbyrne had their group buy, it was close to 250 less than anyone else.
As to the question of sound, it all depends on your taste. I think the B & B will give you a deeper sound, and a much louder sound as well, especially with headers. I have heard some people say that the Corsa sounds good, but not with headers. I believe Aaron at SGC is of that opinion, yet others think the B & B is too loud for their taste. My system has no cats either so it is really loud, but I have gotten use to it. Some tone it down by getting the resonator as opposed to the x-pipe, but again it is all in the ear of the beholder.
If you are not concerned with getting a 3' system for maximum power potential, then any of the other systems will be a step up from your stock exhaust. Flowmasters do have a deep sound, and are probably the least expensive system you can buy for your ZR-1. That said, many people do not like the look of the tips, but then again, it is a matter of taste. I would agree with dbriana's assessment of where they fall into the loudness scale.
