Has anyone tried using that X resonator from magnaflow. It would be very cool if one could have an xpipe that didn't make you eat asprin after an hr.

Our B&Bs were installed a month ago. How do I create a sound clip?

Ah - but the meanest sound is the Desert Development (if you can find one...) We had B&Bs put on as part of the rear-end repair until we can fix our Desert mufflers and put them back where they belong on our baby.

My father-in-law had the DDs installed when our car was about 2 yrs old. One of his friends heard them "from at least 1/2 mile away" and had to buy a set himself. The resonation is high and you can "feel" it in the base of your skull at approx 2300 rpm BUT - they are the deepest, throatiest sound I have ever heard. The DDs are the reason my husband drooled over the ZR-1 for over 15 years (til we got if from the FIL a year ago August).

My 1990 had Power effects on when I bought it. Resonance made the car virtually undriveable (it sounded good though) I now have Jeal headers and the corsa fitted and I LOVE it.

Hi Pete,

Welcome to the forum always good to see the ZR-1 guys from "over the pond" commenting here. I go by ZR-1 Chicago when I post on corvette chat upon occasion.

Hello Pete and welcome to the forum.

If you have not listed your ZR-1's location in this thread you may wish to do so. It seems we have a decent amount of KOTH owners in Europe.

I prefer the look of my B&B on my 91...but I prefer the sound of my Borla on my 92 by a thin margin.
