Ok, I stand corrected its not like the factory or MSDS Y-pipes...but this is also a "off-road pipe" pictured (where is the O2 sensor mount?)am I correct?, Yes it should flow better but pretty much any off-road pipe will out flow a y-pipe cat combination. Some of us need to keep our cats do to state laws and it is not worth the trouble to have to swap them out every two years before emissions tests. My point was with cat not off-road cat free exhaust. The Y-pipe looks like the Yo-dude Cougar Y-pipe? What I don't understand about these company's is once you have a design why not perfect it...bend the pipes up and weld them together at the collector, and flanges. Why piece together 9-10 pieces of pipe to get the shape
It can be done without all the pieces...a good exhaust shop can bend a 8' piece of pipe into a pretzel if you ask him to. This is a small and very simple design and should not be a problem to do. Remove all the unnecessary welds and make it all mandrel bent S/S and you may have something more worth the price
As for the Bosal exhaust what proof do you have that it is an inferior product compared to the rest other than this guy said so
Please tell me why the others are so much better and how they could possibly flow better. The only cat back system that would flow any better would be straight pipes and that would sound like a garbage truck! Like I said before they are all basically the same...2.5" mandrel bent pipes, straight through performance resonator to a y-pipe and then to two performance mufflers with 3-4" tips. How can anything other then the sound and appearance really be any different? I would expect all the "B" systems to be pretty much identical in performance and flow. Have you ever physically looked at a Bosal exhaust system...it appears not...maybe you just don't like them because BAT sells them? I didn't get mine from BAT so I have not delt with them. The picture alone looks better than anything out there that i have seen and in person when you hold the pieces in your hand you'll see that the product is pretty much flawless no matter how you cut it and pure eye candy for the underside of the car. No ugly welds, no black paint that will come off in time...you can't argue that. If you don't like the tips then go to the Bosal web site and order new tips...they have a bunch to pick from
If you don't like the souund then that is a personal prefference and no reason do bash the product. Like I said mine has been on my car for about a month now and everyone so far thinks it sounds awesome
Don't be mad at me
I love my Redline Hood kit you provided the GB for
