Any Experience with the B&B 3 inch x-over exhaust?

[Kai SRT10]

Anyone have experience with Billy Boat's 3 inch header back exhaust (the one that retains the crossover.)

I'm looking at ways to make my car a bit more quiet, and this is the only 3 inch system I know of that retains the crossover.

I'm interested in opinions on sound, flow, and cabin heat.

I got it:

Pros:
Sounds great
3" SS pipes all the way

Cons:
B_tch to install ... requires custom welding if you don't have B&B headers
Cat is larger than Random Tech cat ... leave less room ... melted my O2 wires
Tips aren't as nice as Corsa Tips
Larger 3" pipes rattle against frame over speed bumbs

What is the cabin/floor heat like compared with stock?

It's a little less, but not as much as deleting the cats or using Random Tech Cats (I think) because the B&B Cats are so large (they really fill up the side-sill area) ... I still leave the air blowing on low at the floor during the summer.

I sold my Corsa and went with the B&B on my RT cats, it was
a ***** to install the cross over section. System was a
little short to hook to the RT but I made it work. I like
the sound much better and the volume is about half way
between the Corsa and stock.
