I have an M6 and i dont really feel theres much resonance. At first bc its so new and louder its harder to talk but now for me its no big deal. Had to replace the bose bc it just wasnt loud enough (not that it ever was).

What I can't hear you it's not to bad. I've got headers and no converters so it's a little loud, but I love them.

My neighbor got some stingers on his 04 Z06 and ive got a coupe 01' w/ B&B dual tip bullets.
The stingers seem more of a high pitch race car noice while my bullets seem to be that real deep don't f...w/ me type a sound =).
I have very little ressonance but nothing enough to bother you or get you irritated. with my mn6 i can't even notice their there on highway but at woot they do make an impression really love it.

Yes, but do you have headers and a med/big cam?

Cat back systems sounds totally different with just headers. Add a big cam and the sound is entirely different. Bass comes out of nowhere and the volume increases 10 fold.

Here is a video of my stingers - headers, high flow cats, x pipe and big cam.

Completely different sound from a stock exhaust with Stingers or even headers and Stingers. Just wondering what Bullets sound like with that combo (headers/cam)

No,no I am just comparing two very stock cars w/ exhaust systems =).
Your definatly right the racy pitch of the stingers seemed to have deepend alot on your car due to your mods. I don't have that crazy of an idle on my car but the bullets still seem to have more on the deeper bassy end now, you got me wondering what it would sound like with headers/cam.... either way EG id def would avoid stepping next to you on a redlight just by that sound alone heh very nice.

Thanks for the reply!

In all my travels and all the Forum members I have met (several hundred now), I have still not heard Bullets with headers and a cam

Just about every other cat back (Corsas, SLP Loudmouths, Borlas, GHLs etc.) but not B&B Bullets. Would love to hear them in person, but even a video would be good.

I have GHL Magnums on my Z06 with LG headers and RT cats. I've had Stingers and PRT's and the GHL's are best IMHO. I had no interest in anything else until I heard some drive-by sound bites of cars with the Bullets. Now I'm really thinking hard about going to the Bullets. Decisions, decisions.......

I really want bullets. I just need to save some money up. Maybe I'll go sell some stuff on ebay and make some quick cash.

The B&B Bullets are a bit louder than I wanted.

They're really loud during the cold idle phase, but quiet down after the engine warms.

Just a little too loud in the interior for me. I'm told the trunk partitions help, as does the lloyds rear mat.

I like the WOT and the way the front end raises more than withthe Z06 pipes.

I haven't done any disatnce traveling, but I bet they will get on my nerves a bit. I'll wind up with something more mid-range when I get the time to swap them out.

Everyone has a preference, I'd rather tone it down a little.
