Default putting on B&B Bullets

I'm heading to Bloomington Gold this Friday and will be putting the B&B Bullets on my Z. I've heard this system and it sounds awesome!! Anyone else have this on their Z? Free installation too-

also, what are your opinions on the best looking shift ****?

I love the B&B Bullets! I've heard them in person recently. Very loud but it doesn't bother me at all. Sounds wicked!


Picking them up very soon unless something comes up and I change my mind


As far as the shift *****, I love the way the Hurst shifter looks in black.



^^ That but in black

Default B & B Bullets

I too have the Bullets on my Z I love them I even like the crackling sound they make when decelerating. That sound is awesome. I also have the Hurst Que Ball on my shifter I love the feel also with a B&M Ripper shifter.

I am personally not a fan of the BB's, sounds too much like a f-body and is horribly raspy.

it's one of the deeper and aggressive (and best) sounding exhausts you can get for the z06

the borla stingers are the raspy ones

I don't have a Z (forgive my intrusion) but I put bullets on my 99 coupe track car. I told my wife a race car has to be loud.

They give a real muscle car sound. I put Z06 Ti exhaust on my 03 coupe and have to check to see if it is running - they are so quiet compared to the bullets.

My only problem is interior resonance on long trips. Between 1,500 and 2,000 rpm it is pretty bad. Small trade-off for awesome sound.

BTW - I got the quad tips. Looks

I drove a fellow Z owners car with B&B Bullets a couple of weeks ago. Those and Borla Stingers are loud. They do resonate in the car. Fine for track car or weekend car if you like the loud approach.

Since I busted one of my Ti mufflers I had to replace them. I ended up getting a Corsa Pace Car edition. Nice rumble at idle. Quiet as can be on the highway cruising. Pretty loud and sound like an American V8 at 4Krpm and above. Best of both worlds for me since I drive mine on the street and track. I've only just recently installed them so this comment is based on a short amount of driving time. The mufflers are nice polished SS but they are heavy... The Bullets and Stingers are light since they are barely even a muffler in them.

Get rid of those cats and a big cam and you'll have a different opnion on those Bullets. I loved my SLP Loudmouths until I went LTs w/o cats and H/C.

Bullets are not raspy, SLP Loudmouths are raspy since they're just straight pipes.

Exhaust systems are probably the most subjective mod on any car. Right up there with wheels and possibly tires

I'm over the scare women and children when you drive by. BTDT. I liked the sound of the Ti system that came on the car. I just can't take another chance on one of them cracking. I love the weight of Ti though. Corsa is the only exhaust manufacturer for Corvettes that actually knows how to remove resonance and still have a good sound. Went through all this on my C4 in the past.

If you like the sound of the Bullets with headers on your car then those are the ones for you.
