I have a B&B on my Vette and loved the sound so much I got the kit for my Tahoe. The sound characteristics were so different on my Tahoe that I ended up replacing the muffler with a Magnaflow. The drone was so bad that my ears would ring and several passengers complained. The 5X11X22 Magnaflow is better in my opinion but I must be getting old because I would still like less internal noise.

In my experience 1800-2200 RPM was the worst.

Tex, No..... not drone.... It does have a lot of interior "rumble" anytime you touch the throttle. No drone or humm or resonance that'll melt your brain on long rides. It's just a nice powerfull tone that changes pitch and volume with the throttle. On the highway it's noticeable, but not intrusive.

I was just out raising hell with the windows down (first REAL nice day up here in the North East), and it's really not all that loud outside when driving.

I forgot to mention the B&B system is built real solid. The muffler is a lot smaller than the Corsa's 55 gallon drum, but it's about just as heavy. The tubing was smaller diameter, but also a lot heavier. I don't know if that's good or bad.

Also, I know the 1800-2200rpm range thing with some exhausts... It doesn't chance pitch or loudness there much at all when passing through that range.
