The sound changed tremendously. I love it now. No more popping or gurgling

i have B&B Bullets on my Vette and when it was just an intake and catback car it had the stock H pipe and sounded like a tractor at idle. I went with the TSP LT's and O/R X pipe and it sounded GREAT. no more putt putt i DO, however, think i will be going to be adding Cats as the smell from a heads/cam/LT's car is rediculous and gets on your nerves after a while. If you don't mind losing 3-4hp then keep them. The car will smell like crap(unburnt fuel) if they are gone...
