B&B Stands for Billy & Boat. "Bullets" is the name of an exhaust system that they make. Generally regarded their loudest system. They come in dual or quad tips, and as far as i know they do not have an Oval Tip option, although i could be wrong.
Here is a clip of the B&B Bullet system installed on my '97 C5 w/ DTE SupermaXX LT Headers.

Measured 101 dB from 10ft at idle. And 130dB at 10ft while reved.
(They're much quieter w/o the headers, but sound just as aggressive!)
I'm Very pleased with them, and LOVE the sound!

Agree with LF97C5Vette comments. I have the B&B Bullets with the quad tips on my 2004 commemorative, which is automatic. They don't come in oval. I don't have headers and the bullets sound great and I get a lot of compliments on them. They are very aggressive and if you like a loud exhaust with a true muscle car sound, the Bullets are the way to go.I know plenty of C6 owners who have the bullets and they sound great on them as well.

I agree with the others that replied. B&B makes 3 systems. Bullets, PRT (Purge Resonance Technology ) and Route 66. Bullets are the loudest of the three...and they are LOUD. Tips for the PRT and Route 66 are available in round or oval but the Bullets only come with round tips as far as I know.
They look and sound awesome. You'll love 'em.

I put them on my ZO6 last month. I think they sound great, my wife thinks there too loud! The only thing I don’t like is the drone at certain rpm’s. I am planning on adding some insulation and a partition.
now THAT was funny!

I had BB Bullets on my 01 vert, 04 Comm Ed vert, loved the sound! Just ordered them for my new 07 Atomic Orange vert. BTW, all my Vettes had/have 6spd manuals! Great sounding exhaust, like a Vette should sound!

Here's a clip of mine at idle and rev in the garage! I love them, they're very loud. My wife hates them at a 70mph cruise, massive drone, get a partition if you don't have one.
