Actually the William Boat exhaust sound very similar to a stock NPP exhaust with 15 or 20k miles on it. My findings are the stock exhaust gets less raspy with age.

It's a 3" system with no secondary cats, so I hope it doesn't sound like stock NPP! It sounds wildly different in the sound clips online.

How are you comparing this? Have you heard their system on a 6gen Camaro?

I have 19,600 miles on my 2ss and the exhaust is still as raspy as ever. hate it.
have been looking into an axleback with straight pipes and headers but haven't gotten motivated enough to drop the 3+k on it all
im yet to hear an aftermarket 6th exhaust in person.

I've got another couple weeks until I purchase an exhaust system. I'm really into the Borla S-Type but super curious about billy boat.
We have been using B&B for many years and I can say that they sound great, no rasp or drone and we see good power gains, especially on heavily modified builds.

I love the sound on the video clip but that's with a complete system. It seems to have throaty and deeper tone if I'm describing it correctly.
Just how much of a difference in sound without the headers?
Does it change the sound by a small or large amount?
I looking at a cat back system deleting the secondary cats.
I understand those questions are subjective as people hear things but it may give me something to go off of.

Tempted to put one of these on my new ride. The place is a short drive away.

Elimination of the secondary cats makes me pause (and no one else having one).

Nope. The weird thing is that they seem to have no presence whatsoever on the forums and barely any marketing anywhere else.

from what i understand they are big with the vettes…

I am sure it sounds great and quality looks good, I just want to hear how the npp functionality is.... if I going louder I want to know I can reasonably quiet it down, I know that a lot of third party npp compatible exhausts don't really work the way you would want them to..

I had their axle-back system on my C5 Corvette, and the quality and fit/finish was exceptional!

I feel like they should give me a sweet deal on this system in exchange for a write up on here. I don’t know how an enthusiast exhaust company expects to survive with no forum activity or marketing. I know they are big in the Vette community, but that’s not helping them here.
