Hey guys
I'm pretty excited as I have just bought a B&B exhaust from member zelement and should be receiving it soon. My question is what should I expect? I keep reading that it is very load, but nothing about and hp loss or gain. I know the quality is supposed to be top notch but I have no personal experience with billy boat. The last aftermarket exhaust I had was a rogue engineering dms exhaust on my e46 325 and I loved it, does anyone know how this might compare? the rogue dms exhaust was also known for being quite load but I thought it was great.

I can't comment on the B&B on a 530, as I had it on my 545. I can tell you on the 545 it is LOUD, by my standards. don't rip out any resonators until you try it first.

I've read that some have said its loud so I wasn't planning on getting rid of any resonators right off the bat. Did you notice any performance losses?
