I have been looking for a more inspiring exhaust note for my 944 NA. After much thinking and watching the few videos I managed to find, I set my mind on a Billy Boat (B&B) cat-back.

You want to know how it sounds right?!!? Thankfully, I have made before/after videos. They don't do it 100% justice since sound is a little bit saturated, but it is close enough to give you an idea. (Listen on good speakers or headphones!)

I love it! 2.5" tubing, all stainless steel, beautiful! Fitment was perfect.
Exhaust sound retains most of its characteristics but is much deeper and throatier. (It really sounds "porsche" to me, and that's why I chose it.) It sounds great on acceleration, but it is comfortably quiet when cruising.

Also, see this old thread about somedy else's experience (with videos):

Yeah, I like that. Sounds good.

Any difference in the butt dyno?

roman944

nice!

ThomasSF

There is probably not much of a difference performance wise. But sound is part of the driving experience, and for me this cat-back definitely improves it!

OMG man this sounds awesome!!!! I need a set up like that.

How much?

Sounds tinny and rattly like most B&B stuff. It may become annoying when it gets packed in good.

I didn't hear any tinny or rattling, has a nice deep snarl. Sounds good!

ThomasSF

*cough* *cough* $800 at Southern Car Parts. (a relative "deal" compared to other sellers).

Before I bought My GHL I tried the B&B, granted this was 7 yrs ago, but the B&B didnt fit for **** and the polishing job of the exhaust was non existent...They sent me an exhaust covered in Weld spatter and raw T-304 tubing! For the $1100 I paid back then it was total garbage....Im glad to hear you had better luck....

Enjoy

It does sound nice, but the price just doesn't do it. What does the setup include? I assume just a pipe and a muffler (no resonator)?

75ohm

1100 bucks for that!? Holy ****, get real.

ThomasSF

Yep.

I have seen less than acceptable quality from B&B too many times. On the other hand, GHL has superb products, but it's not cheap. For a NA, stock exhaust is about as good as it gets.

Thomas, your car looks real clean, even underside, which is often the least flattering angle for most cars.
