Cool My BP 4port 13B FB vs. 1995 BMW 540i

So my friend is drivin around in his 1995 BMW 540i which has a 4.0 liter v8 6.2 seconds to 60 and 14.8 in the 1/4 mile FYI. So to make a long story short he wanted to race me so we head out on the highway for some action. We planned on goin from 35 in 2nd but he slowed down to 40 instead he honked three times and went, i wasnt ready yet because i was still in third gear but i mashed the pedal anyways at about 4000rpm he automatically jumped out in front of me but once i passed 5000rpm i started to close in but shutdown because of cars ahead. So we turn around and line up again except this time at 60 in 3rd, i waited for his honks which were very unevenly spread out and on his third honk i didnt know if he was gonna go or not so i waited but saw him gun it so i did the same I quickly caught up to him as he were goin around a left corner me bein in the right lane (outside of the corner) I passed him and held it to 110 where i already had about 3 cars on him. But that wasnt enough so we lined up for the third time for what we originally planned, a 35mph 2nd gear roll, so we slow down but to 40 not 35 and i wait for the honks. On the third honk i instantly start pullin, shift to 3rd keep pullin, shift to fourth keep pullin untill i shutdown at 110 again but by then my friend in the bmw says i had about 5 or 6 cars on him. So thats another kill for the undefeated free FB with a BP 13B in it.

When we unbolted his, it seemed to flow better and he said that the car even felt faster.

His motor is sooo quite for a bridge port its not even funny, my old 1/2 bridge FD at idle would drown out his car at redline......

I think its too restrictive, but thats just my oppion.

I put a really small washer in between the mufller and presilencers and it sounds alot better. Its not super loud but its definately louder.
