B&B Turbo-back VS. JIC Spartan catback

I am deciding between the JIC Spartan and the B&B exhaust systems for my EVO. 25 whp is impressive, but a full titanium system with 13 whp not including a downpipe is impressive too. With a new DP the JIC should definately have more than 13 whp, plus it weighs nothing. Anyone have comments, rants or raves than may sway my decision one way or another?

Buschur is good too, but too loud for my taste, I want a sleeper. But anyway, what time do you think you saw me on capital. I was in that area around 6:30-8:00. What color evo do you drive?

I have the Spartan full Ti catback and like it. It is slightly quieter than stock, but has a nicer sound IMHO. Very light and JIC uses a different setup for joining the muffler to the mid-pipe on the Spartan than the 505, so I don't think I will have the same problems that have on occasion been reported for the 505. And FWIW, the race shop that did the install for me was also clearly impressed with the quality, fit, and quietness of the system.

If I wasn't worried about sound, I would have gone for the Buschur, but I was, so I didn't...

It's actually quieter than stock? Even at high revs?

Yep. Not sure that makes any sense, but it's true. Before, I really had a hard time hearing what my 2 yr old was saying in the back seat. I still can't understand what he's saying most times, but at least I can hear him. And he's taken to saying "WOOOOOOO!!!" when I get on it or take a corner fast -- no problem understanding that
