Default corsa vs billy boat exhaust. what's better?

Help! I want to buy my husband a new exhaust system for his C5. Which system has a deeper, race car sound? Corsa or Billy Boat? Thank you!

If you want Race Car, get the BB Bullet. About the best sound out there. And some long tube headers

I like the sound of B&B, but not the drone over my Corsa Pace Cars and mine makes lots of wonderful noise at WOT and not at 70-80 mph

If you want noise, go for the B&Bs

B&B Bullets are the most amazing sound on a vette. It sets off car alarms, scares the wits out of anyone near them. DEEEEP sound !! WOT can be heard for blocks.

I just took mine off and went to Corsa Tigershark "Touring". This is probably the mildest - sounds great WOT, but very tame otherwise. The only reason I switched was the interior noise @1500 RPM. This drone was just too much after a while for me.

I got the touring because they still have a deeper sound than the Pace car version - even though the Pace car version is "louder". Go to the Corsa and B&B sites and you can hear them for yourself.

Your husband must have some opinions when he hears others....does he comment on what he likes? Deep Bassy sound?

I've had both the Corsa Indy Exhaust and BB PRT exhaust (on car now).

The Corsa exhaust is more high pitch sound...the BB PRT is a lower deeper tone.... I like the PRT's a lot better, just my taste. The PRT's are a bit louder than the Corsa's.

If your husband likes a really loud exhaust..then get the BB Bullet exhaust.

Chiming in for a up for B&B PRT's. Very nice awesome idle sound...deep and throaty. Easily tolerable in any traffic situation or highway. Little drone present. Hit the Hammer and it will turn heads block away, especially past 4000 RPM - they really get loud then....

Love um!

Corsa Indy/Pace Car if you want the best of both worlds. Loud when you want it and quiet when you need it.

Default my opinion

I love my B and B's PRT's , the Bullets are louder but have a drone at some RPM ranges. I have no drone with the PRT's. They are somewhat louder at cruise and idle RPM's and this is in a convertable even with the top down. But jump on it they wake right up and are nice loud.
