After just 4 short years of sitting in my closet my ceramic coated BBK longtubes are finally on the car with brand new front o2 sensors. I fired up this $300 digital recorder I got from work on my way to and from the install so that you guys can check out the difference in sound.
Setup now is BBK longtubes, BBK offroad H pipe, and Magnaflow Magnapacks
Enjoy...

I'm still getting used to the sound difference, I really liked how crackly and poppy the old setup was when I would lift off the throttle with the factory manifolds but I have a feeling that had more to do with the 180,000+ mile old o2 sensors which were probably very slow to react and tell the computer that there was no air in the exhaust and to cut the fuel.
The thing that I've noticed most with the longtubes is that it's quite a bit quieter when cruising and a bit louder when wide open, it makes me laugh every single time I lay into it now because the difference in volume is just incredible.
