Default 3 inch Exhaust?

Does anyone know if any kind of longtubes with 3" collectors would fit a B&B 3" exhaust?

I know exotic muscle make 1 3/4 longtubes and 3" collectors but i don't know if it would work with B&B exhaust.

I have the EM longtubes with the 3" B&B. Contact Merle at Exotic Muscle and he'll let you know what all you need.

Thanks for the help.

How do you like the EM longtubes with the B&B? Does it sound good and did you feel any power after putting them on?

So you have to buy the extensions for it to work?

I like the throaty sound, but some people think that there is too much resonance. I gained about 17 RWHP after the install.

cats vs non-cats

The stock ones won't work.

But I'm hearing the EM Cats are only 2.3in not 3 since they also put them in automatic cars.

In 09 I don't need the cats, but with the blower in will be REALLY LOUD!

Exotic Muscle just installed their new 3/4" long-tubes, 3" Magnaflow metal-substrate high-flow cats, and 3" stainless Magnaflow X pipe to my existing 3" B&B system.

They did a beautiful job, it sounds great, and the improvement is noticeable.

I put that exact same set up on my LT4 396 stroker. I don't think you can beat the combination for performance, sound, looks or cost.
