Is a B-Pipe Worth it?? Should I just get the Y-Pipe

I am going to be buying the Budget Exhaust Y-Pipe within a month and was wondering if the B-Pipe is also worth getting? What would the horsepower gained be? Also, I would be keeping my stock muffler, how loud will this be?
Thanks,
Dan

with a stock muffler a little louder but not like a real aftermarket muffler.

b-pipe adds a few horses on paper but it also removes the resanator which equals to more sound.

Should be pretty good. As long as you keep the stock muffler (that is, if you stock muffler is not all worn out) you'll be happy with the exhaust system. I'm very happy with my setup:
Mid-pipe Intake
RT Cat
Stillen Y-pipe
Stillen B-pipe
5th gen muffler
My car's exhaust sounds very tuned...not loud, not too deep, and a lot quieter than my brother's stock M3.

You can always get a B pipe with a resanator.

If you don't already have an intake, get one before considering a bpipe.

frankencar

If considering intake, Frankencar is the best one for the buck. with reasonable noise.

And B pipe, why even bother? unless you have twin turbo?
Y pipe, I understand, B pipe
