FS: B&B Catback exhaust
Ok im not going to try to hide anything, heres the deal with this exhaust....... it is modified somewhat! Cant guarantee to fit ap1s!!!! ****Asking $500 obo
I bought it brand new fromB&B Exhaust This system was "made to order" as I was told. When I received it the fitment was horrible. The exhaust didnt fit at all, and one side was hanging lower than the other. After arguing via telephone with the manufacturer I sent it back at my expense to be "fixed". I recieved it for the 2nd time and put it on my car, with the same results.... terrible fitment. one tip was actually two inches out farther than the other. I decided to say to hell with B&B and their shitty craftsmanship and have a local exhaust shop fix the exhaust. they did so and I have had it on my car since then without complaints. (approx. 9,000 miles on it) Has a few scratches from being installed/uninstalled by me without a lift!
Needless to say Im not too impressed as this system wasnt cheap! However I love the tone it gives and I like the way it looks. The modifications to the hangers and the piping were necessary ..... unfortunate though that I had to hack at it to get it to fit.
Sound Clip Of Exhaust
heres a few pics of it that i found when it was installed on my car.
this is where the exhaust connects to the cat... weld can be seen where it was modified.
scratches from multiple installs/uninstalls
mods to the piping.....
hanger cut and re-welded to align tips.....
small scratches on bottom of tips from installs
And one small crack i noticed while cleaning the exhaust. this doesnt effect it at all from what i can see. it can easily be fixed! this is a piece of metal that acts as a brace and connects the piping to the muffler. **the crack is NOT in the piping itself!***

Interesting... I hadn't heard anything but good stuff about B&B until your post.
Most people say good things about their quality, sorry to hear you got shafted, that sucks.

Im not impressed with the fitment of the system, nor with the customer service. All b&b offered to do was hack at it more at MY expense! F that shit!
its a damn shame because this system looks nice when installed and has a nice unique tone to it. with a testpipe theres nearly no drone at all. it fits fine now.... but thats just stoooopid that i had to cut it to get it to fit right.
someone pick this up! def dont buy new!!!!
