I have been looking into buying a b-pipe and I had a few questions. Anyone have the Budget b-pipe? Is it any good? Ive heard that a b-pipe is just a b-pipe and any will do. what difference is there between resonator and no resonator?
Thanks in advance and for not telling me to search

 

resonated should be quiter.

 

The resonater will make it quieter, I am going to be buying one in the summer. I'm going to get the budget Y-pipe also, haven't heard any bad issues with that. It's just mandrel bent piping like you said, go ahead and get it. Don't know if it'll fit any other Y-Pipe beside Budget though...unless you already got it.

 

I have the budget y-pipe and the b-pipe is mandrel bent. I love my budget y-pipe. no rattles, or nasty noise, and gobs of power, something else about my exhaust: I've also heard it's not necessary to remove my catlytic converter and replace it with a high flow pipe or a straight pipe because it yields almost no gains. Any thoughts?

 

I've read the gains are negligible (~1 hp?) Who's really going to feel that?
I have Budget's b-pipe and I have no complaints about it. The workmanship is very good. Mind you, I did have to bend a metal "plate" a bit to prevent the b-pipe from banging against the spare tire well. The banging used to happen when I cornered (left turns only) hard while on slightly rough roads. Maybe my rubber exhaust hangers had stretched?
