B&B Bullets...........
Anyone have these? I just had mine installed today, then took an hour ride home from work. I think I'm deaf...sounds good on the outside but man....inside the cabin is waaaayyy to loud. Will a partition cut down on this??????

when i first installed them i noticed that. i always cruise with the windows down cause i love to hear them. when i do drive with the windows up i do notice the cabin gets kinda loud but it seems worth it. im building my partition now but dont know if it will cut down on the noise.

I have B&B Bullets on both my Z06's with Headers and no cats.
I have to stop a RR crossings now cause I can't hear the train coming

Really loud with the LG headers, but everyone else loves them!! I think it is the best sounding exhaust on a C5 not raspy and not boat like. A good muscle sound!

I have a partition and tray along with the Bullets. If I'm riding alone I leave the partition out...BECAUSE I LOVE TO HEAR THEM BABIES RIP..., but with a passenger I have it in (unless I don't want to talk to them ) and it cuts the interior noise down to about stock levels.

I don't know anything about building products but would like to get some of this, what exactly should I ask for at Lowes? Thanks in advance.

My partition and tray are from Southerncarparts. The sound may not be exactly like stock but you can carry a conversation....take it out and hope like hell that you like to look at whoever is sitting next to you, because you won't be talking to them

I made mine extremely tight. I cut to size and then added carpet, this made it really snug and I have absolutely no issues with it moving. I'm actually more worried about getting it out.

One note: mine is 2" thick without carpet. I think this also really helps keep it in place. I haven't seen any aftermarket ones to see how they work/fit. The other major benefit is it is extremely light, but pretty rigid(thickness), It can't weigh more than 2-3 lbs.
