    Steve,
    Try the link again, worked for me. Actually, it was your video that prompted me to buy the Bell system. I bought it direct, last November. Took about two months to get it, but it does sound pretty nice. Seems as though it's gotten a bit louder after putting a couple hundred miles on it, but maybe it's just my imagination.

    Thanks to redtrman for setting these links up.

    Bill,

    Your Boxer looks and sounds great. I had my red 512 BBi out today with the new Larini stage 2 single canister silencer. It sounds very much like the Bell you have on your car. I actually drove in my car and than behind it and finally could evaluate the sound. The car sounds the best at over 4000 rpm and at idol.

    Gene.

    Thanks Gene. We'll have to get the two of them together sometime. The video clips are the first time I've heard the car from an outside perspective.

    Good day Bill,

    Excellent choice on the Bell! I, too, went with the Bell after hearing Steve's clips.

    How was the fitment of the Bell on your BBi? I ask, as I had a bit of an issue with the Bell on my carbed BB. The first one they sent had incorrect exhaust inlets (the angles were totally off). The second set matched up fine (with a little bit of persuasion), however, the exhaust outlets were sitting bit too high so much so that they were contacting the bumper/exhaust apron (again, modified with a little bit of persuasion).

    Cheers,

    Sam

    Sam,
    The fit was almost spot-on. All pipe connections where they should be. Only issue was a lack of clearance on the left side outlets, where they were up against the rear valance. "A bit of persuasion" also was the remedy.

    Thanks for your feedback! Given the sound of the Bell, I guess a bit of persuasion is a small price to pay :) ...

    Enjoy your car and exhaust!

    Cheers,

    Sam
