If the Fusions were a 3" system I would have gotten them over the Stainless Works so I could quiet them down on a cruise and open them up when I wanted or go into boosted WOT and thanks for the review

I think you should just buy headers. LG streets are a steel at $900ish dollars, you dont need 1500 headers if you are not going hop the motor up a lot more. Your exhaust will be much much louder and more powerful sounding.

Also, here is a video of mine before I took them off. This video is with cam, LG headers and bullets. it would make windows shake at my car dealership.

Check out my other videos on there to hear the same setup with Corsa, zo6 TI and soon to have GHL clip on there too.

all vids are from a apple iphone

I put the B&B PRT's on mine, nice sound. Then about 8 months later install American Racing headers with high flow cats. What a difference. I get the same popping on decel that you say you get with the Fusions. Personally I think it sounds great. I have a little drone around 1800 rpm at steady speed regardless of what gear I'm in, but not deafening. Sometimes i wish I'd have bought the Bullets instead.

Some of you may have been following my post the last month or so and know I've been looking to change my Exhaust. I decided on the Fusions because I have read all the stuff about how BAD the drone is with Bullets.
After install these on Monday because my car is stock there just isn't that if ANY drone with these and as far as I can tell this is pretty much what my car would sound like even with the Bullets on them so I may as well sell these and replace them with Bullets and save a little cash.
Now if your car has a bunch on Mods on it the FUSIONS are perfect for you because as I'm sure you know you can control the volume of the exhaust with the wireless remote.

The Fusions have about 40-50 miles on them and thats it. I used them one day the day they were installed just to see how they would sound and haven't driven the car since.
They are in BRAND NEW PERFECT SHAPE! The Vacuum pack was never hooked up to my car so all that has never been used and is still in the box they came in. Even on my car they have a SUPER DEEP sound. For the life of me I don't understand how I drove that car with the stock exhaust on there for so long.


I paid $1,600 plus shipping I'm asking $1,400 plus S/H

Anyone interested can contact me here or at Keyo3600@aol.com

I agree. When I got my bullets installed I immediately loved the sound but expected louder due to all the pansies that say it is too loud. And this is my dd car. Anyone who rides in my car loves the sound on the inside including women. I am looking to go with a nice set of LT headers to actually get the system louder.

Yeah it was a hard call for me because I just couldn't find a car around here like i had hoped to give them a listen and I DID listen to the people that were telling the horror stories about drone and buzzing plastic etc and I'm not saying that doesn't happen but for anyone that wants to know AGAIN if you have a stock C5 the Bullets WILL NOT be an issue.
The Fusions are GREAT! but they are for someone that has a real drone issue.
So I hope I can pass them on to someone that really needs them and I'll get Bullets

If it works out for ya, let me know how you like the Bullets, I had considered doing the same just for the extra cash (I'm trying to scrape up cash for a jet-ski), and I just don't mind a little noise; but I'm afraid of what the drone may be like with LT's. Plus the Bullets don't come with oval tips

Wow... after hearing all the drone horror stories I thought there would be a lot more interest in these.
