Default GHL Bullets?

I am seriously thinking of getting the GHL Bullets cat back system, any comments? Good or Bad?

They're at the top of my short list too. Only thing holding me back is they don't offer quad elliptical tips, only round ones.

I did the Borla stinger / long tube thing and was 150% happy with them...








....Until I heard the GHLs...

Great choice, you will love them (if you love the loud)

As a guy who loves his B&B Bullets, I must say the GHL's are the only other ones Ive heard that I think are on the same level sound wise. Ive heard nothing but good things about construction quality and minimal drone. Go for it

Have had mine on my 2000 Vert for about three weeks now, and have to say it really transformed the car from Dr. Jekyl to a wonderful Mr. Hyde. I had already done the England Green whiplash cam and AR headers, and hi-flow cats, and a Z06 Ti cat-back. It sounded good, but I wanted something that would really let the car sound off at idle, without having too much noise running down the road. The GHL bullets deliver that.

It is definitely more old-school, big-block-sounding now at idle, you can really hear the cam loping, and at wide-open throttle it will really sound off, but going down the road at cruise, it isn't loud at all, but mine does have a slight resonance from 1500-1700 rpm, but nothing I can't live with. The fit and finish of the pipes is first-rate. I can recommend them without reservation. If you want to hear the before and after sounds, do a forum search here for "Long awaited GHL video' and you can hear my car with the Z06 Ti's and then the GHL bullets. Both sounded good, but the GHL's are much deeper and more throaty.

I love mine.....

With my heads/cam/long tube headers I have gone thru 3 diff exhausts:
1.) Stock Ti's - Way too quiet
2.) B&B Bullets - Way too loud (Cop magnet), and resonance was un believable ! My door pannels rattled at various RPM ranges (let alone my bald head)
3.) Corsa Touring - Nice all around, but not enough idle volume, and really high pitched. No resonance though which was a plus !

I am glad I moved to the GHL Bullets. Its an exhaust that REALLY shows off my cam sound at idle, Throaty muscle car sound. Nice WOT sound ! Revving high in a gear then letting off the gas just sound wicked The video just does not do the real sound justice. After driving around for a month or so, there is a very slight resonance around 1700 rpms. It took me a month to even notice it was there though.
