OK everyone. I am getting super antsy waiting for all of our performance parts to coem out for the Coupe so I am asking for some opinions. I know the B&B Exhaust is out for the Coupe and is an excellent system. But I also know that Stillen and Greddy are releasing Exhaust sytems within the next month. What does everyone think. Would it be dumb to get the B&B now and not wait for the Greddy and/or Stillen or does it not really matter that much. I personally feel that there will not be much of a difference between the three. They are all companies that have been doing this for a long time and know what they are doing. I am thinking that it becomes more of a personal preference thing between the 3 companies. What input do you guys have. Thanks a lot.

 

I don't like Greddy systems. Too ricey for my tastes. I haven't seen a Greddy system without a huge can on the back and the systems that I've heard don't even sound that loud either. Not that I want loud, but you think that it would be louder with a 6" can sticking off the back of the car.

I haven't seen the Stillen systems yet, so I can't comment. I do love the looks and sound of the B&B system. They have a great rep too. The system seems a little expensive though at the moment.

Um..........dude all i gotta say is just wait a little bit longer so you can get the real deal exhaust the infamous NISMO I suggest Nismo over any exhaust for the coupe.

 

I think nismo products are over rated. But the dyno might prove me wrong

Yup I think once you see the dyno results it won't prove you wrong it will shock you!!!!

 

Well I have made some calls in regards to all three of the exhausts I mentioned and also the NISMO Weldina Exhaust. When comparing the hp number there is such slight variation that it isnt worth paying the extra 300-400 dollars for the NISMO. The B&B is putting out 8.2hp while the others are around like 8.3 or 8.5. That does not warrant a 300 dollar difference. As far as sound is concerned I want a meaty sound not a ricey sound. Most importantly I want performance at the right price and B&B seems to be the way to go.

 

Don't think you will have a problem with the sound, 4 vs 6 cylinders, should be pretty deep. I would choose an exhaust based on future mods you want to do, the difference in HP on a normally aspirated "G" will not be that great.
Also factor into the decision how long you think it will last, stainless steel or not.

Well I placed my order for the B&B. It seems like the way to go. Thy are a reputable manufacturer who has done exhaust for luxury sport cars for years. The quality of their work is impeccable and I know the exhaust will last for a long time giving me top quality performance.

 

Kilrmy I was wondering what company or shop did you use to order the B&B??

 

Do these intakes have any adverse effect on long-term engine reliability?

 

Anyone know the estimated cost of the Nismo system once it arrives?

The new car and driver says when the nismo exhaust comes out in the states it will go for about $1500.

 

Actually I went through a local Long Island shop called WAM (World Auto Motorsports). They race on speedvision once in a while. He has a wholesaler who for the B&B actually had to get in touch directly with B&B. B7B is shipping it to my local guy in about 7 to 10 days. The intake is being shipped directly from Injen and should be here in about 3 days but could be 7 to 10 also. I got a package price for the two which including shipping to NY was a total of $1290. My import guy will install it all for about 120 bucks which isnt bad at all. These items should not affect warranty or long term performance in any way that I can see.
