Default Bosal cat back exhausts $160!

Step right up and get em while their hot...

http://www.seffects.com/parts/BRO248016.htm

These were very popular up till a few years ago when I think they discontinued them. Not too loud, prolly less than Stromung, more than SS. Must be old stock. I know nothing about the sale, availability, etc.

Might want to ask on the Yahoo group as they tend to be, uh, "long standing" fans of the ti. Or search here for Bosal or Brospeed.

Not much pertaining to the Bosal unit but he's an old exhaust comparo:

I'll let you know as soon as it gets delivered, I just bought one.

Any interest in my Dinan muffler? I've never seen another one like it, ever. List price is $799 for the muffler. I will consider $ or trade for other cool part(s).

I'll probably just cut the Bosal muffler off and weld the Dinan muffler back on, I guess I'll have to see how the Bosal sounds first. Clegg with the SVT Focus has a Bosal system. It's got a really great sound to it.

I just picked this up..I did some research on bf's and dtmpower and everyone seems to love it. I need a new exhaust because the guy who owned my car before me was older and wanted to apparently sound like a ricer and went and put a cheap autozone 3ARACING dtm style muffler. I will give it to him becase he did do a good install it is nice looking. Other than that it sounds like a ricer. Well first one to to get the BOSAL installed let us know how it is.

I'm ordering a DASC and thinking about the NickG Stage 3. Hope this exhuast does good with it. Someone on the other forums was saying the BOSAL could kill power with the DASC any thoughts? Its not making sense to me.

I hope this is good. I just ordered one, my stock muffler is almost rusted out, this will look good in its place

This can't be any louder than the muffler that was on my m5 when I bought it. A genuine apex N1 without the sound baffle installed! It was so loud I could hardly hear the stock stereo. I installed the sound damper and kept it for a few months before selling it to a friend who wanted to go the way of the rice.

Is it direct bolt on? Or do you have to weld? And does anyone have a picture of this installed?

Talking Just installed Mine!!!

I just got my bosal catback in, it only took 4 days! It is the best $160 I ever spent! It came wrapped up so tight it took me like 15 mins. to unwrap it. But, it was well worth it. The whole exhaust was chrome, i believe the picture on the site doesn't show it in all chrome. It sounds nice, not to loud and not to soft. I couldn't get any pictures because my digital camera craped out on me. I'm going to try to make a sound clip or something if someone doesn't get to it first. I takes 2 bolts( That take more time to take off than anything.) and 3 Hangers, real simple install. This is really a good buy if anyone is looking into a new exhaust.
