would anybody buy them from homeontheroad.org? they are nearly 1500 bucks cheaper here than at bd-power.com. is it the same set up? how about the setups at jegs.com and summitracing.com, are they all the same?

I know some people say the BD twins are small and great for bottom to mid rpm range, but fall of at the top of the rpm/power range, is this true? also, how do they sound? it is getting close to time for me to get twins and I am thinking about the bd twins. $3,000 is agreat price and my set up will be what is in my sig plus a TST box. I'm thinking I should be in the 450hp range then. oh, my truck is a daily driver, tower, and for fun at the drag strip thanks for any input.

Scott.

Mine pull very well, compared to my big single (HX-55).... 65 psi vs 45 psi. They DO NOT fall off like too small a single does, but compared to a bigger set of twins.. I don't know. I'm sure a bigger primary turbo would pull harder at high rpm but at a cost to fast spoolup! Since I spend less than 1% of my time at WOT...I'm could not be happier

They are noisier than I had gotten use to with a big single....back to the high pitched wine of a smaller single (on top).... but well worth it!

Twins are worth it for the sound...and for the look on peoples faces when you tell them what you have

My Dad and Uncle (old hotroders) couldn't BELIEVE what they saw under my hood, and it blew their mind when I told them I had 402hp and still drove it every day

They would go crazy over RJ's truck

I have spent a LOT of time trying to make my truck quieter. I've pulled the interior out of the truck and dynamatted everything and put a valve cover and oil pan blanket on, plus some other things. Anyway, I've got to say, I LOVE the sound of these twins! They do not bother me at all. They are music to my ears.

I did the same to the 95...and with the 40/B2 twins and a 5" straight pipe it was VERY quiet! Right at 21-2200 where ALL 12v's make a lot of noise it rumbled pretty good, but towing it was a lot nicer than 4" pipe and a single charger, and sounded wicked outside You could really hear that B2 singing through that subway tunnel exhaust

I have ridden in a truck with a 35/B2 setup and it was awesome. that is the only thing I know about how twins sound. It pulled hard to redline and sounded like that B2 was in my lap. oh, are you talking high pitch wine like a stock 35 or higher? thanks

Rowlands is LOUD! HAHA....not that is a bad thing at all! BUT my lil HX-35 aint got nothing on it! The HX-55 he had before was not even as loud!

He also had a Scotty II with the hole! This is just an open intake.....i guess now with a 4" hole in the cowl! haha...

I could see this getting old on long trips with a load......and a cranky wife/gf!

A 5" or 4" down pipe, i thought it would be a 4" with B-D's and where did you end up getting them. Jeggs or Homeontheroad.org?
