Default new bullets

Well I have finally started mods on my 02Z. I put B&B bullets on this past weekend and these are my impressions.Normal driving going thru the gears, there is a loud drone bet 2 and 3 thousand rpm ,after that its not bad.Steady driving at 65 is not to bad but might be on a long trip.I am not complaining because now it sounds like a corvette should and I turn the radio up anyway.I am giving myself a christmas present and going to LG and have headers ,cats and a tune. Stay tuned!!!

I have the same exhaust on my 01 Z06, love it around town. Long trips I will take my 1992 accord or put stock pipes on it. I took a 1000 mile round trip last summer in the Z06 and I had a killer headache after about 1-2 hours. I agree it sounds like a vette now.

My 99 had stock exhaust with Bullets and it was loud but tollerable. My Z with the 402, Kooks headers, off road X and Bullets was unbearable. There was resonation at idle. I switched over to GHL Magnums (6" cans) and it's perfect.

Wait until the LG's are on...That baby will be really loud after that. I hope you have a compartment divider lol. I personally like the B&B PRT system myself, the Bullets are a bit too loud for my tastes. Without the divider I would get the RT66 system If I ever changed over to B&B

Thank goodness for the partition! I couldn't bear the drone without it. Oh, and it does get louder with time!
