Default B&B Bullets Dyno Numbers?

Hey guys i'm in the process of purchasing a new exhaust system. I'm thinking about going with the bullets. I've been kinda in between the Bullets and Borla Stingers. I'm mainly looking for sound. However I've read on a few different sites that the B&B bullets puts out more power than any other exhaust system. So a question I have is. Have any of you guys actually switched out your exhaust for bullets and noticed any gains on the dyno? Or are these just "claims"?

Catbacks will not show a variance in plus or minus HP numbers.
Choose the catback system of your choice by looks and sound.
Good luck.

I have the dual tip (not quad) b&b bullets and they are loud and I love them! Corvettes of houston sells them for $615 plus shipping. I had west coast corvettes price match them because I have had problems with customer service from corvettes of houston and refuse to use them anymore. I was stuck between borlas and b&b also but when I found the b&b for that price I was sold. As far as hp its not gonna be much of a difference, if you want hp go for long tube headers high flow cats and x-pipe unless you already got them. On the dyno I made 380/373 with cai, headers, high flow cats through b&b bullets. Just my .02 cents, hope it helps!

I don't think you will find anyone that will be able to say they noticed a difference seat of the pants wise switching systems however on a dyno you can. I know on our systems we see a range from about 10hp with the RT.66 to 18hp on the Bullet. These numbers are not just claims but actual numbers seen on our in house dyno and have been confirmed by many customers.

Here’s a link to a video of my Z16 on the dyno with Quad Tip Bullets. I can’t say what the power increase was, but the sound is awesome.

It sent more than one guy running outside.

Is this on a Z06 or a standard C5? I could believe it on a standard C5.

Standard but the Z06 was within 1-2HP also.

Either way $600 for 18hp isnt something to jump for joy about! But the look on the harley guys faces when your passing them is priceless!

I'm suprised no one chimed in about the borlas yet!

I don't think you will see any gains in power. My car lost a few hp, same dyno but a year between the switch to the Bullets.
As for the sound, they sound like it gained 50hp.
On my HCI z06 they sound down right NAZTY.

I have bullets on my ls3. I like the way they sound, but you won't gain any HP over the stock C5Z TI system.
