Default B&B exhaust

I want to put a B&B system on my car. I dont know weather to get the bullets or PRTs. Is there a big differnce in performance or is it mostly sound. Any advice would be great even if you tell me B&B is garbage and i should get something else ha.. Thanks.

I don't think performance will differ much, but the sound will. Have you went to their website and rolled over the sound clips? If not try it.

I've got B&B PRT w/ speedway tips and love them, I'm running longtubes and no cats. Not to loud cruising, and screams at WOT! Good fitment and quality too!

It's more sound than performance. Both will give you some sweet exhaust music.

TPIS longtubes, TPIS X pipe w/o cats, and PRT's = ANNOYING. It was cool at first but really sucks when i go to drive it to work(6AM) and start it up and drive away from my house. I am not 100% sure but i think my neighbors are really starting to hate me and my dumb loud car. Just my .02

PRTs aren't as loud as the Bullets. Check out the video/sound clips on the B&B website, or do a search on here.

As far as performance, on an otherwise stock C5, no catback will give you anything noticeable (read: less than 5hp gains). It's a sound-only modification. Both the C5 Coupe/Vert and the Z06's Ti exhaust systems flow very well to begin with.

B&B bullets are very loud if you heavily modify the car. Here is a clip of a few engine combos with exhaust. the last car is my 383 with B&B bullets. The exhaust sounds start about 1/2 way through the video.
