I feel a little bit of a power gain with my B&B Bullets...also the drone is not that bad, i can still hold a normal conversation at 75-80mph...they are well worth it, the sound is amazing!

On a stock car YOU WILL NOT GET ANY HP GAINS FROM AN AFTERMARKET SYSTEM!!! Possibly with a HUGE motor, and full exhaust you might get some hp gains, but your stock muffler system is not the most restricted part of your exhaust system.

They are definetly (to me) the best sounding exhaust that i have heard so far on a Vette...as far as aggresive...they are very aggresive, but not in an annoying way...

THERE IS A HUGE DRONE WITH THESE PIPES. I thought that I would not mind it, but I was wrong. When I added H/C and everything else it made the car super loud. I am going to be putting on GHL's very soon. I am only 25 and love loud toys (everything else I own is modded), but these pipes are way too much drone for me.

I actually went back to my stock Z06 mufflers for a short while and experience no power loss. The car was dynoed with the B&Bs making 423 rwhp 408 rqtq and then redynoed with my stock mufflers putting out 423 rwhp 405rwtq. That was before my last bit of mods so I have to put the car back on the dyno to see if they are helping now. As for sound with a modified car they are extremely loud, but that is the way I like it. Lots of attention!!
