The popping sound will be there until you get an X-pipe. The drone is horrible with bullets. I even tried to put down some sound absorbing matting in the trunk area, didn't work. Get use to the resonance or get the B&B PRT's like I finally did. MUCH better now and it still sounds wicked at WOT!!

Question on this setup now.
When on the throttle really hard, if I let off abruptly there is a sharp pop as the air is expelled from the pipes. Then of course it does its normal deceleration burbling noise.
Is this something I should be worried about? You can hear it in my videos when I rev it up high and then release the gas.
I've never heard this on any other videos I watched before buying this setup.
Also, I'm curious what everyone thinks of the interior resonance in the 2200-2600rpm range with these pipes. The bass tone you get at that range makes the drone absolutely insane. I can avoid it easy enough since I can just relearn where I shift when cruising around. But man...it's crazy how loud the bass tone is and how bad the drone with these pipes really vibrates everything in the interior if you hold it at those RPM's. You guys have the same thing going on? I just need to know to put myself at ease, I can deal with it no problem.

If you don't mind me asking, where did you get them from and how much did you pay for them? (the cheapest I have found is $661 for the duals and 760 for the quads) Because I'm thinking about getting either the Bullets or Borla Stingers. Thanks! Sounds great!

If you don't care for the sound, I would put the X-pipe on immediately and not wait for the Long Tube setup. There is no harm in the popping sound (only to your ears).
I'm going to wait on the Xpipe until I purchase the Longtubes to go with it. I'm in no big hurry.
As I already stated above, get a carpeted trunk partition. It helped a lot.

I had BB bullets. Excellent write up. I switched to Borla Stingers because of the drone. But I miss the way those things sound at start up. Everytime I started that girl up at the fuel pumps heads turned

Sweet! Love my bullets too. The drone is bad, with my Long Tubes and x-pipe with out cats is VERY LOUD! Kinda sucks when the phone rings or the passenger is trying to talk

I love hitting that 2200 to 2600 going under a bridge or a tunnel 
. Then stepping on it is wicked. My wife can not understand how the loudness doesn't bother me. I told her she does not understand because she is not working the throttle. B&B's rock on.

I don't expect people to understand how good the Bullets are at full throttle or at idle. Most posts don't know the difference between rasp or drone anyway. The more people I can convince not to buy them, the better nowadays.
Side note: The X-pipe is great for straightening out the B&B's Bullets and producing a pure evil sound. The only bad thing I can say about Magnaflow's X-pipe (and other muffler/X-pipe manufactures) is that the U-bolt you get should be thrown in the bush. Poor seal, rust issues and hangs way too low. My advice is to upgrade to a stainless steel muffler clamp or weld.
