From what I've heard, theres a bit of vibration/droning with this exhaust. I'd go with the RPI exhaust for proven gains and a nicer exhaust note

it is built well, it is rather loud. If you are looking for a DEEEEEEEP exhaust note, there's none better if you don't want to go quads. I had the B&B for a few months and switched it out for an eisenmann race version. almost too quiet now but a really nice exhaust note.

I have a B&B on my car now and though it took some time to get the drone out, it has a WONDERFUL sound to it!!

I dealt with B&B directly and they made a "Resonation Cone" for me and it made all the difference! In fact after talking to Mike Boat, (Billy's brother), if we can get enough guys (and gals) here interested, a group buy could be arranged. These could be used on any exhaust with a droning issue and would be priced somewhere in the $50-$100 range. If you or anyone else here are interested, let me know and we'll try and make this GB happen!

where does it go, inline before the muffler, or inside the exit pipes? either way, a little too late for me, as I replaced the entire muffler already, but you might want to make this a separate post in the Parts & Mods section, I'm sure there's plenty of B&B owners here that could benefit from this.
