The prior version had 4” round tips. The new ones are oval like the OEM tips. Are the 4" round tips available?

I heard that Borla Copied there design from GHL... Only problem is that Borla forgot to copy the "NO DRONE, NO RESONATE" feature form GHL...

Can anyone confirm how the sound level is compared to B&B bullets, SLP Loud Mouth and Borla Stingers?
I want something really LOUD, and I am still searching.

Not the SLP or B&B

is it really that much different to fab one up? i know the magnums use a 5" can instead of 6" but with the tips and piping being the same how much harder would it be to just make the magnums as needed?
btw, if u ever get rid of your magnums put me first in line.

The answer is not that simple.
Old school, they would just change jigs and make one becasue all the components except the tips were hand made.
New school, there would have to be an entire run of new dies made for the automated parts of the process...which is very $$$
You never know, I'm putting a set of Bullets on my car for a photo session in a few weeks...lol

I love my Stingers also. But those GHL's are looking pretty nice! Here's a bump for a great forum vendor.

Any plans for dual-tip GHL bullets? The "under construction" is taunting me.

There will be tip options, but not for some time
