Default Price for used B&B ehxaust???

What is a good price to pay for a good used B&B exhaust? I am looking for something louder than stock. Thanks

No more than 500, it's a used muffler afterall. Over many years dealing with all sorts of used racing parts, the general rule of thumb is 1/2 of new +/- condition.

Not to knock B&B or promote anyone else's exhaust systems but have you had a look at Fabspeed's website (www.fabspeed.com)? I remember seeing some pictures of their competition's mufflers cut open and I was shocked to see what the inside of the B&B looks like. That said, this topic can be discussed until we're all blue in the faces and very few will come to agreement. I have the PSE but if I didn't, I would probably consider Fabspeed or GHL. I'm sorry if I've confused issues.

I believe that both Fabspeed and GHL offer two versions of their mufflers for sound preferences. I have heard a car with the B&B and although it did sound really good, it wasn;t much louder than stock.

Fabspeed and GHL loud are close on the loudness scale, either one is a great exhaust. With the prices of GHL to Rennlist members it doesn't make much sense to buy used unless you really want the B&B.

B&B sounds good and is not that loud. I had their headers & mufflers on my old car. Despite what Joe has on his website, I had them for 6 years and never had a problem and thought the quality was quite good.

BB and GHL used to be one, they split up and GHL was started. I think they are all good, my GHL's are very high quality and sound good. Doug hit the nail on the head, with the good prices for rennlisters for GHL (700), why BB?
