They are a company based out here in Phoenix. They make high quality exhausts and do some fantastic custom work.

Nice score!

Bavauto sells Billy Boat exhausts, but as salesman said probably custom ordered. Nice sounding exhaust, although my only encounter was on an e36

so....i was perusing the local lkq last week and i came across a car that really did not belong there. i didn't take a pic of the car but it was a 90ish plastic bumper delphin car with fantastic paint/no dents or rust.

i took a peek under the back end to see if the diff was limited slip and i notice the cat back is stainless steel. i start thinking to myself...."aw, hell, i need to replace the muffler on my mtech2 anyway. so this bitch is mine." i originally thought it was an ansa but this is the tag that was in the side:



so ok, never heard of this company but that is some tag. i guess these guys must be really proud of their products. once i get out to the truck and get all my stuff packed away, i load the web site into my smart phone and take a look. apparently this company makes aftermarket exhaust for porsche, Lamborghini, Ferrari, etc...i look up the e30 model but there is no price listed. so i call the company directly based on the phone number from the web site. talking to the sales man, he says that this is a very popular car for them and they sell lots of these to e30 guys? why the hell have i never heard of them? next i ask how much it costs...... the salesman's response is that this muffler sells for 995.00 normally but if i wanted to purchase it directly from the factory, it can get a discount of 825.00 shipped to my door in texas! holy shit! who would buy this instead of a 600.00 remus? why the hell was an e30 with a thousand dollar exhaust sitting in a junk yard in the first place? jesus fuck!

anyway, here are some more photos if this:




they were nice enough to cut the cat instead of the pipes.

the previous owner was even nice enough to leave these parts laying in the trunk. as it happens, i didn't even have to go buy any parts or hardware to install this on my car.




here is the money shot of this thing installed on my mtech:




i like it a hell of a lot better than the rusty stock muffler i had. it sounds good at idle, makes the car sound like a mild v8. i guess i was kind of hoping that it would be a little throatier when i open it up. it sounds good and i guess i can't complain in comparison to the 40.00 i spent on it.
