i think they are the route 66 system. But i have a pretty aggresive head and cam kit with full exhaust (headers,no cats,lg x-pipe) and was wondering if all that would make these sound pretty loud?

oh youre right. i think the route 66 system is on the quieter side but since you have h/c on ur car then i think it should sound pretty good. i think i actually saw a vid with that sysytem on a car with h/c...search for it i think you should be able to find it

The Route 66 system is not much louder than stock. You will be disappointed. The B&B PRT (purge resonance technology) is a step louder and sound real nice. The Bullets are bascially straight pipes with baffles. I love them. Just put them on Saturday. I don't find them too loud nor do I have a resonance problem. Some disagree.

I had the B&B Route 66 exhaust on my '00 - loved the sound and the quality was excellent.

Here is a link to the BB Site
http://www.bbexhaust.com/car/corvette/c5/

I am not sure which is the triflow..but

Everyone's ears are different. The Route 66 system is pretty quiet, I've heard it in person and it sounds cool, but not much louder than stock. Now that might be different if you have heads/cam/headers. The car i heard was stock.

I have the PRT system on my car and it is the perfect exhaust for my taste. I have heads/cam/headers as well. I used to have the SLP Loudmouths (very similar to BB Bullets) and they were just too loud insdie the car..sounded great outside...but too much resonance.

For me, the PRT's are pretty quiet when crusiing, and they scream pretty loud upon stabbing the throttle
