RE: New Exhaust and Intake
My Magnaflows are working great, they've been on several months now. I've got about 7K miles on the pipes, no leaks, no drips, no baffles. Tips are dual walled tapered and on the outside are shiny as long as you wipe them often, they get a lot of dirt on this on the outside, I laso like the engraved MAGNAFLOW on the top of each tip. I did the 3 piece exhaust myself and didn't know jack about exhausts and it's worked great since day one. Just have everything aligned loosely and tighten from the flange back, shake the hangers and make sure they're settled in and the pipes are running true to each other and torque the sh*t out of them and you shouldn't have any leaks.

RE: New Exhaust and Intake
Hummer Driver (damn Raymond how you been??) and I both have Magnaflow and are happy campers. IMO this system may have more hwy drone than some others, but I really like mine, around town, Sweet!!
I have never seen in person a Billy Boat H3 system, but their Corvette systems are great quality.
I chose Magnaflow over BB because I did not like the flange connection at the muffler enterance behind the axle?? Just my opinion. I never heard of a tarnishing problem til some of the previous posts???
Use Permatex 1372 Hi Temp Gasket seelanthttp://www.permatex.com/products/aut...et_Sealant.htm on the flange surface before bolting together, and torque per the instrucions (or reasonably) and I cannot believe you would ever have a leak?? Don't know what kind of hardware/bolts they give you in their kit, but grade 5 stainlees, or grade 8 steel is not hard to find.
