YOU"LL HEAR ME LONG BEFORE YOU SEE ME -- it wakes up the numb skulls that are close by and keeps them away from me.. they do scare women, pets & small children -- I LOVE MINE -- car sounds like it should sound -bad *** -sends out the message, maybe i shouldn't f#ck around with this vette Plus my bullets tend to cover up some of the supercharger whine so the unsuspecting never knew what hit em

I was at the Kerbeck Toys for Tots and this guy passed me and his car sounded great so I saw him later and he said all he had was a cut off switch for the exhaust... thats news to me, anyone know anything about that?

Neighbor has a '01 Z06 with Bullets on. Man does that sound good when your behind it and he "gets on it" a little bit. It is loud in the pass. seat, though, but not too bad once your at cruising speeds.

I think you have to be somewhat careful of your exhaust choice as if your going to had headers, high flow cats down the road the catbacks will be louder then with the stock exhaust parts in front of it as well.

He's talking about electric cutouts. I have the DMH cutouts on my '00 and really enjoy them. Its quiet when you want it to be, sounds like a catback when they are slightly open, or loud when fully opened.

I have Borla Stingers. They weren't loud enough (this is coming from an ex-Harley w-straight pipes guy) until I added the LG long tube headers. Now they're PERFECT!!!!
