Well, I need, and want a new Stainless Steel B-Pipe. For the performance, but mainly because the OEM one is not in good shape after several Update NY winters.

Now, I contacted Courtesy, and they are back ordered until the middle of August...and their cost is about $190+s/h.

Checked Stillen's website and theirs is about $260+s/h and could ship same day. (What prices are most people getting for this from their reps?)

Anyone want to sway me one way or the other? Sound is not really an issue.

 

try http://www.eatricezone.com/ or http://www.avalonracing.net/ for the stillen b-pipe

 

Oh yeah, good call. I'll try them today. Thanks!

 

Stillen's doesn't have a resonator on it.

 

Yeah, I know. Does it make the Stillen Pipe that much louder?

 

When I added my b-pipe to my exhaust. It made it a lot louder. When I get my greddy, I'll let you know how louder the exhaust got on a stillen muffler, b/c Jeff is buying my b-pipe. It should be here any day now....I hope

 

Cool. Thanks. I think I'm just gonna go ahead and buy the Stillen pipe. Everything I've heard says that its a better quality and fit. Phong emailed me back and his price is not that bad, and I'm still waiting to hear from Avalon.

 

Courtesy's is very very nice and is one piece. The Stillen is a two piece and doesn't have any resonator. $260 for just some stainless pipe is crazy. The material alone only costs about $30. The two piece Stillen pipe will always run the risk of exhaust leaks plus the stainless they use looks to be the lowest quality available. I got my Courtesy pipe for $180 shipped a year ago. It fits perfectly and with the resonator I don't have any drone. However, I've got the stock muffler. I use to have the HKS muffler (quietest aftermarket muffler available), but with the y-pipe and B-pipe, the drone was unbearable and I didn't look the riceboy image. Be prepared to have a VERY VERY VERY loud exhaust if you go with the Stillen B-pipe and whatever aftermarket muffler you are currently running.

BTW, my car was quicker with the stock muffler.
