B&B Turbo Back Installed , AWESOME!

Just had the B&B Turbo back installed yesterday and I am just amazed at how much more power this thing has unleashed. I know they said 50hp increase, which I really did not see, but if it is not , it is very close. And, the sound is just perfect. Thanks to all that helped me make it my pick. Only took the guy about 30 minutes to install. Was going to do it myself but not in the 20-30 degree weather we are havin here in the deep south. Putting on the Greedy B II this weekend, what a mean machine this cars become with just a few mods.

Does that turbo back include a replacement for the stock turbo elbow O2 housing or is it downpipe+catback? Also are you running stock cat or what? Any other mods? How much for the exhaust?

I have the Ultimate Racing High-Flow Cat
as well, the O2 is in the cat-back. Only other mod K&N drop in filter. No CEL
A little expensive, but it is worth it.
$1100.00 for all of it.

The o2 housing Im refering to is in the turbo elbow not the catback. Did you have the turbo elbow replaced or just the downpipe+catback?

I heard that the stock turbo elbow is pretty good and replacement is alot more labor too (ie removal of the radiator). Just curious if anyone changed one out yet and has a review of the difference.

Can you take some close picture of it and post it up here cuz I really wanna see how good quality of it. I'm still thinking what to get between the B&B turbo back or the AMS stage 1. What do you think?

Thanks a lot for all the pics of B&B exhaust. As I have heard that the B&B muffler is not a straight flow and it will struggle with some other mods. Is this right?

Hey Deceit,

Does the downpipe clear the two lower braces?
