After doing some research on the forum/internet I cannot find an aftermarket b-pipe section for the 5th gen... I was able to find a few old threads on different forums about stillen b-pipe but seems like no one is selling it anymore?
I did also look on ebay and found a few aftermarket cat-back systems but according to the sellers those b-pipes will not bolt to the oem muffler...
Any suggestions?

Cattman's 2.5 and 3" will. If you could find one.

The 3" will require a bit of some modification to the OEM muffler flange, but it's doable.

I have a hacked up header back that bolts to the stock rear muffler.

interesting... well here is my plan... I am still waiting on my new SS Y-pipe from warpspeed... in the mean time I wanted to replace my b-pipe section with a new one but keep the stock muffler, replace all gaskets and be done with that exhaust system...
you have pics of that thing?

Cattman-Cattman -Cattman. Sorry. I have Gutted cats-Cat delete and a Series 40 Muffler and that damn Cattman B-Pipe keeps the sound very reasonable. I am really considering biting the bullet and ordering a 3" Cattman, But some annoying coilovers keep freaking calling my name!

If meagan's bolts up, they're in production, I'd call them up.

As a side note, if you're around a shop that does exhaust work for a reasonable price, you could make your own as well. This would be especially helpful with the potential for rasp with the Warpspeed Ypipe, meaning, you could install a larger/better resonator if you made your own b pipe.

just a thought, sometimes it's not worth the added cost to go custom, this may very well be one of those instances.

well currently I have replaced the oem resonator with a 2.5" glass pack resonator that we found in my friends basement, no idea of brand but it sounds pretty good to be honest keep the car quiet... I am thinking about going back to the shop that installed and ask them to replace the the section from the back of the resonator to the rear muffler... the other day I was under the car and i noticed that the hanger on that pipe is rusted and that explains why I hear my rear muffler hitting the axle every time I go over a bump

May be I should ask him to use SS pipe?

22"x4" perforated core resonator, (red) Moroso spiral flow muffler (resonator looking thing) what's left of a Cattman b-pipe, and a stock rear piece.



I used the spiral flow for easing up on the rasp when I went with a test pipe.

Looks like a nice set up Nmex.

And ludi, sounds like a good plan too . never hurts to get a quote. If you already ahve the resonator it should cost pretty much nothing to complete the pipe. Stainless is a choice dependant on where you live and how long you/re keeping the car.

I have a custom made magnaflow that bolts up just like stock for sale worked with my warpspeed and stock muffler,,I might have the oem gaskets NIB to i will need to dig to find them...

It was a good set-up for sound control. Sounded very good, not loud and was finished off with a stock muffler.

But, since then I've added 3" catback and a test pipe, so sound control went out the window with all that.

My SR*S muffler bolted right up to the Monroe B-Pipe, does that count?
