btb is from gmc, its there own exhaust, quite costly but from what ive read and heard they are supposed to be very good, but not sure what the btb stands for
and ss is usually short for supersprint mate
if you want a good exhaust visit kamracing they have a good range at good prices

BTB was a company in its own right iirc. GMC were distributers.
I believe that BTB are no longer in production, and a ssuch they are very hard to get hold of these days, and fetch good money due to this. However, I believe it depends on the spec of your engine as to whether a btb will be the best exhaust choise for you. BTB's have a large internal bore, and whilst this is good for heavily modified of boosted engines which are flowing a lot of gas through the system, there have been several threads recently discussing whether you will get any benefit on a mildly tuned engine, over a more common exhaust like a piper, supersprint, magnex etc etc.
So it kind of depends where your heading engine wise as to whether its worth hunting down a BTB and forking out the extra £££ over a differnt system imo.
p.s. SS usually stands for stainless steel
