Default Just Installed B&B Bullets

Just got my Car back from Chevy w/ My Bullets. I love them!!!!!!!! Only problem I have is the Noise inside the Cabin It seems to have alot of drone. Will this be reduced a good amount w/ a trunk partition? Also would an X-pipe help a tad? WHen you cruise on the Highway at 70-75 even in 6th it is murder on your ears. So whats my best plan of action. Otherwise I love em;

I don't really notice any drone...the car is just how I like it.

I do have headers and xpipe, which do smooth it out (even though it makes it a deeper sound).

I also have a partition, but it's the foam kind, so not sure how much that actually works.

I'm also relatively young, so don't know how much that has to do with it

Most people take them back off and go back to stock. There is really no way to quiet the them down. You really have to like loud to keep a set of those. If I ever decide to change my Ti's, I'll go with the corsa. Goodluck.

not really, they're one of the most popular (along with Borla), and there's a reason for that...they sound AWESOME

the way I see it, considering how good the stock Ti exhaust is on the z06, there's no point in changing it if it's not going to be louder...you won't get performance gains with just the axleback

I like my exhausts to sound mean and aggressive...when you're sitting at a red light, I like the scared looks I get from everybody

I thought the bullets drone was only at around 15-1800 rpms? I just ordered mine yesterday and if the drone is only over a few hundred rpms, that can easily be adjusted with the speed.

I had the B&B bullets on my Z06 for a year or more. The drone was bad around 2500rpm. I added a sound partition on my Z06 and it reduced the interior noise, but it was still bad. I had to dump them quickly after my heads/cam install. Every plastic part inside my car rattled ... It was too much to take. I installed the Coras Touring instead... with the heads/cam/longtube setup I have its still loud (a good sounding loud), but no resonance inside the cabin. I like it much better now.
