B-pipe question

Has anyone installed the Comptech b-pipe w/ stock mufflers. Does the sound change at all or none whatsoever. I've been getting a little sick of the sound and was thinking of selling my exhaust and getting the b-pipe instead.

Also if anyone is intrested...I would be willing to trade my MINT condition comptech exhaust for stock 03 CL-S mufflers and $400. They must be 03CL-S mufflers though. Not too sure if I wanna do this but seriously considering so if anyone's intrested lemme know and maybe we'll do this

I'd trade you my mufflers, but the price is too steep for a trade.

I don't think you can feel the any different. 4hp on a 3500lbs car, I just didn't feel it. He got it dyno and gain 15hp, but it was with UR pulleys and B-pipe. So we don't really know exactly how much hp the B-pipe gained.

I just left a deal for 2 sets of mint CT exhausts used for $400 & $425... You're asking trade + $400...

Not being an ass, I'm just saying. But anywhoo... I'm sure someone will buy them off you. You can find a used set of OEM 03 for $150.

My b-pipe was $425 installed (at the dealer) and made at least 6 WHP with S/C. It also made the car more drivable, smoother reving before I installed the S/C.

I'm not looking for power primarily from the b-pipe. I just don't really wanna deal w/ the comptech muffler sound anymore. And I have 01 mufflers but want 03's. As far as price...id don't think thats too high whatsoever. I've seen members selling their orig mufflers for as low as $75. And I've seen many members selling Comptech mufflers in mint condition for $450 and even $500. Anyone who knows me knows how I take care of my car and knows they're gonna be gettin excellent mufflers. 90% of them still have a full mirror polish!!!

But like I also said...i haven't even decided what I wanna do yet w/ exhaust alltogether so I was just seeing what my options are. And when the time comes I might go as low as $350 plus trade...but not any lower so...we'll see
