Default MY new Bullets

I got the new Bullets about a week ago and finally put them on...
PICS






They are still a little crooked, I have to find time to align them but they sound AWESOME!! My first real mod done by myself. It was real easy. Thanks for looking!

Default Looks Good!

Bullets look good!

I, too just purchased and installed some Bullets. I opted for the quad tips (or, I should say my other half liked four tips better than two regardless of the extra $100 cost). I do like the more "American" look of your setup (the quads are nice, but are a bit "euro" to me).

I like mine as well but am a bit ambivalent about the amount of drone (not so much the loudness of the exhaust, but the "ringing" when cruising at 2500rpm or so). I have loud exhaust on my Silverado and straight pipes on my chopper and opted for the Bullets because I wanted the loudest and most straight through setup (I also considered the loudmouths and the borla straights).

Given that my car is a vert, I just purchased a partition in hopes of cutting down on some of the drone. We'll see.....

I have heard a lot about this terrible drone.. and to be honest it is not that bad. I am not old and losing my hearing I am 17 MAYBE that is part of the problem... I kind of wish the drone was worse. that may be just me though.

Not to be a smartass, but the drivers side tip seems lower than the passenger tip.

17? Hmmm... I'm only 34. I guess that does make me twice as old!!! Again, though, I do opt to go as loud as possible on everything I own.

It may not have helped that I got semi-tanked during the install, and upon test-driving the next day was slightly hung-over. I felt like my teeth were going to rattle out of my skull!!

I think, perhaps, the difference is due to my soft-top vert. I'll post an update when my partition arrives in a few days.

Hey smartass , he stated in his original post that he has to find time to align them....

Just being light hearted, please don't get punchy.
