Default How much louder?

I've got the B&B PRT catback w/ speedway tips now.....thinking of going back to the quad tip look. I've got longtube headers and catless x-pipe. How loud will the B&B bullets over my current set-up? Also if anyone is interested in trading their bullets for my prt's let me know. Any input would be appreciated.

The Bullets are going to be a lot louder than the PRT's... especially inside the car, and outside of course. With Headers, I would say on a scale of 1-10, (10 being loudest) The Bullets are probably around an 8-9 and the PRT's are about a 6 or 7. Remember the Bullets are almost straight pipes, they just have a little resonator chamber...barely noticable.
I love the Bullets, but just too loud inside the car for my liking.

I love the PRT's just put them back on my car after trying the Stingers,,too much drone with that set up too.

Good luck

It will be really loud with the B&B Bullets! I can't wait till you get some 4-tips...I think that is the last thing from making your car look 100% perfect!

I have Borla Stingers with a full Dynatech Supermaxx LT Header system and a custom cam by DTE. The car is loud inside and out and does have drone in certain RPM ranges. I've learned to live with it since it sounds SO good under moderate to heavy throttle.

BTW - Thanks for the info on your wheels and tires!

I've got Bullets on my track car.
On the track it sounds AWESOME. Several Vette owners came up to me and said they loved the sound and could hear the exhaust even when they were pretty far back.

The Bullets make it sound like what a muscle car should.
You do get alot of interior drone at certain RPMs. I would not take it on any long trips.

You're definitely going to notice the difference - and if you like loud, the bullets are the way to go.

If your going to be at any car shows give me a PM.(Corvette's for Kid's?)and you can hear for yourself. I have that set up now. B&B's, LG Longtubes, X-pipe & free flow cats. When you fire it up it really barks and out of the hole it is LOUD but when you get to fifth or sixth gear it isn't too bad even with the 4:10's and the top down.
