Anyone have this system on board??? Can anyone post a sound clip or at least tell me how it is?? According to the website its supposed to be more sporty than the Eisenmann race version. I want to compare the Kelleners against the B&B and see if its worth the extra 300 bucks....any info anyone??

Sorry, can't help except to say it won't sound better than the B&B unless it is quieter below 2K RPM in 6th.

I made the assumption that you wanted something pretty impressive, including sporty, from your post and prior posts. I think there probably isn't a more straight-through muffler than the B&B--but, of course, I don't know for sure. The B&B has quite a presence, and I would consider its sound to be sporty. So, I am doubtful that any muffler will sound better to you or me than the B&B (and the other Jeff makes three ).

Yep...B&B definitely one of my choices....I am still mulling over BB, kelleners, eisenmann race and even Borla. reason I am taking so long is because I want to do everything at once. I am also looking for a shop that would take my catalytic converters out and install cat bypass pipes....should make it even louder....thanks for your input, glad you and other members love the B&B. My only worry is the same one documented in other threads regarding resonance in low rpm range so I will still be looking around...

Love my B&B every minute, even though it's installed on my 6 banger.

I worry about resonance. My friend's E39 M5 sounds awesome from inside and out but at low RPMs the amount of resonance is deafening, u have to shout to get yourself heard. Even a six-banger has that resonance too. My friend's E46 M3 coupe with eisenmann exhaust resonates too so I am still doing my "research" which consists of asking around before making my decision.

Oh, the B&B is never like that. I would describe its resonance as annoying, but never seriously bad.
