Message	I was just talking to Greg yesterday about alternatives to my B&B, and he told me to watch for your post. Great timing because I hate waiting! ;) The main reason I am looking to ditch the B&B is basically the opposite of yours: myself, passengers, and the neighborhood are looking for something just a bit quieter. I'm just sick of getting headaches on long trips from the B&B's resonance. I can tell from your videos that the Sebring does sound better quality wise, but I'm not getting a good feel for the difference in volume. Could you give a first hand impression as to weather the Sebring with resonators is quieter than the B&B? B&B said they wouldn't sell resonators for a TT because they didn't feel their glass pack ones would hold up to the heat. Greg said the resonators he's using aren't glass pack and would take the heat. One thing I will really miss on the B&B is the angle cut oblong tips. They match the shape of the valence in the bumper perfectly IMHO (which is the main reason I don't like single tip round designs). Sebring's straight cut truncated ovals just won't be the same. If Greg can't somehow come up with B&B-like oblong tips I'd probably go with the dual rounds like you have. I suppose they pay homage to look of the stock exhaust. Regards, Ian
