Default bb bullet review...

well, my gas milage went down to about 5 mpg since im on it all the time now! and guys who said they had trouble with the tips? mine are all one piece and welded, no clamps for the tips. they are 4 tip also. these are definetly loud as hell. alot of poppin on deceleration. when the cars in the garage, the idle will overwhelm a normal conversation. they look damn good and sound awesome, lots of looks now! and thanks to nate at corvettegarage for the free shipping

I thought that too until my 3 hour drive to NJ in the "drone zone." Anyway, around town, they're the best.......... ever.

me too...


B&B Bullets have been the best thing i've done to my car yet. LT Headers on the way...

Oh, and i don't know about other folks, but i can hardly hear em on the freeway (while cruising) just a nice purr and certainly no headache inducing drone... MN6 + Factor diff = no drone @ 60-80mph really...

I just had mine put on last Saturday. I can't stop smiling when I drive now. It's such a rush to hear all that power. And how about that scream that starts around 3000 RPM!! Freakin' incredible! I installed them behind the Borla X-pipe. I also can barely hear them at highway RPM. If mine are droning, than it doesn't bother me. I have no idea what these sound like without the X-pipe, so I can't compare. All I know is that you'd have to pry them out of my cold, dead hands. The attention they receive are amazing, but they do scare the hell out of small children! Since hearing them, my Brother-in-law is getting a set for his Z06 as soon as he can. Best of luck with them, and enjoy!
