B&B triflo video question

Hello all,

I am just curious about something on B&B's website. For the E39 M5, is the car equipped with just the B&B triflo system or does it have other modifications on it as well? This sound is great, but I'm wondering if it's just the B&B mufflers and nothing else (i.e., X-pipe, high flow cats etc.).

Can anybody confirm that this is just the B&B triflow mufflers?

The sound is awesome.

Thanks for the help,

Vinny

kind of difficult to confirm mods just by sound

Yes, and their website doesn't confirm anything either.

I am wondering if any B&B owners can chime in here and give feedback with regards to their system's sound etc.

Thank you.

I have tri-flows only, and I do not think that my car sounds that loud. Not totally sure as I am not really outside of my car much when it is running.
I too would like to know if this has the xpipe on it. If it does I am ordering mine tomorrow! Sounds absolutely sick!

I recently ordered the B&B. I hope it will sound like it does in their video...

I have heard my fair share of B&B's and although it is loud, it is not nearly that loud.

I'm willing to bet the video that's on B&B's website is an X-pipe equipped with B&B triflo exhaust, especially with how loud it is.


I am sure someone will chime in and confirm, especially one that has had B&B on their car for some time and can validate if it's actually that loud with just B&B mufflers.

That M5 on the B&B site is with the B&B supplied cans only. B&B does not offer an xpipe and they dont really shine upon the idea of adding additional parts to their exhaust setup just as Supersprint doesnt really condone using their xpipe with other manufacturers but they know we do it.

im currently uploading the videos of my car with the xpipe installed along with the B&Bs. Ill link in once i have them

Wow, thank you, sir. This will be of great help to my decision.

I am assuming you are also the owner of B&B + SS X-pipe setup? How do you like it?

I am awaiting the link. Thank you very much!

i no longer have the car but i went from the B&B's to B&B's with Xpipe to KElleners with Xpipe. The B&B's certainly made the most power and it was obvious by far. I liked the B&B's alot but they just werent loud enough for me. Hell...headers, race cats, xpipe and Kelleners was barely loud enough for me.
