that is pretty disappointing. Did you have the custom pipe made mandrel bent? Or just larger piping?

Kinda dissappointing, find a reputable muffler shop and have a custom B-Pipe Made. I made my own at the shop I used to work for

What gains did you get from the b-pipe alone? I'm looking for more high end. How much did you pay? I'm thinking about the courtesy pipe. My current setup is intake, y-pipe.

A honest and true consist .1 drop in et and a gain of 1.5mph in the 1/4 mile. The Courtesy pipe is a great piece and it is fully mandrel bent. It is 2.5" OD and about 2.35" ID. More lowend torque punch is what I noticed about the pipe. I really couldn't tell a difference in topend power. Like I've said before, my 1/8th mile et and speed improved.

You're running a stock muffler also right? Hows the sound with the courtesy pipe? I like how my car doesn't attract any attention when I'm not on the throttle. How much did you pay?

Biggest gain I got was ground clearance. Another 3" to keep from scraping on medians & driveways.
Running w stock muffler and couldn't tell diff by "seat of pants" or g-force runs. I'm sure getting rid of the crimp has gotta help though. A bit louder too.
I had lots of noise after the initial install. Banging and what sounded like backflow resonance at various RPM's. A little bending & tightening did wonders.
