Default B&B Bullets or Cut outs? Whats gonna be louder and meaner?

Right now I have the exhaust mod done, it sounds awesome. Do you guys think I can get it to sound better by putting on bullets or installing cut outs?

I feel installing cut outs on the stock system wouldn't do much, as I do have the exhaust mod, so its basically the same thing right?

Thanks alot guys.

Cut outs would be louder IMO, if you mean cut outs right after the cats? I've always understood cut outs to mean there is not flow through any muffler. The muffler mod, the sound is still muffled to some degree, it's just louder because the perferated pipe inside the muffler is sealed off.

If you want louder, I would do headers, get rid of the cats (if you don't mind the smell) and see how you like that... or you could add headers and bullets and that would really wake the car up and be loud.

The Bullets will be louder and the cut-outs will be much louder. I found that there is definately a drawback to the exhaust being too loud. Its hard to relax and drive the car, its also hard to "listen" to the car.

I have the Bullets on my car and my friend has the muffler mod on his. The Bullets are noticeably louder. Cutouts would be the loudest. You can order the Z06 Bullets and Billy Boat will gut the little resonator for more sound if that's what you're looking for. My buddy just ordered the Bullets with the resonator gutted. We will see how it sounds next week.
