Why LOUD? The previous owner had put Borla over the axle straights on mine. Just loud, no tone, about as appealing as a cummins with straight pipes, ( similar sound too ). Corsa's w/Bassani x now. To each his own I guess.

Default Never Too Loud

As the old saving goes if it too loud your too "OLD". I have a set of the B&B bullets on my 01 Z and I love the sound especially the way they "burble" under de-accelleration and the sound in the upper RPMs is unbelieveable makes the hair on the back of your neck stand-up. On my other "Old School" ride a 68 L88 wanna be coupe I run 4" Hooker Side Mount Cannons with 2-1/2" Sweet Thunder Chambered inserts, talk about loud !! I say go for it and enjoy the sweet sounds your are gonna love em. All this coming from a 55 Yr old.

How can you tell if your exhaust is loud? When you start your vette It sets off at least 5 car alarms with in 100 feet.


Long tubes with 3" exhaust, no mufflers.
