B&B bullet vid
Just a quick crappy quality vid showing the new B&B bullets. Next step is going to be headers but these things sound outstanding with just the catbacks. Low rumble at idle, just a little bit of sound at cruise rpms but as soon as you hit around 2K rpms they just scream.

I didnt get the Xpipe. I am going to do the XS power headers and X pipe in a couple of months so I decided to just stick with the stock H for now.
I kinda like the exhaust burble on decell though. Scared the wife the first time she heard it.

sounds really good, you'll be amazed at how much better it sounds with an x-pipe, I actually think I get more popping with it than I did without it. I don't have the bullets, couldn't see paying all that loot for a system with no mufflers so I went to my exhaust guy with an idea....

Contrary to popular belief, the Bullets DO have mufflers. Not much of a muffler, but mufflers all the same.

Had B&B Bullet's on my '02 C5Z, they were way to loud for my taste, drones like crazy at cruising RPM's., but each to their own. Replaced them with B&B Route 66 a bit more aggressive than stock ti's

In 6th on the highway around 1100 all I hear is the road noise from these stupid run flats. Maybe if I got quieter tires I would notice more.
You can definitely see the muffler material inside the pipe. It isn't a chambered or anything like that but it is there. Reminds me of the Hooker maxflow mufflers that I have in the sidepipes on my 72.

Remember we build a long tube header, cat pipes and x-pipe that will bolt directly on to your Bullet. You can find more information on them at www.bbexhaust.com or get in touch with me and we can talk about it.
"Scared the wife the first time she heard it" LOL, I have told many customers that it can scare women and small children!!

I ran the bullets on my car with XS header system and it was ok until I install my cam.... Took them off within a week.... Just too much drone and way too loud...
Going to try the XS Power Cat Back and see if that does it for me.... If not I will be getting a set of GHL Bullets!

JW, the installation is pretty straight forward however if you would like me to send you a set of instructions let me know. I can send new gaskets as well if needed.

Bullets
I just got my tracking number from West Coast Corvettes for.
I should have mine next Wednesday.
I have the Route 66 on it now and wanted something that will turn heads when I go to Cruise nights.

The x-pipe balances the exhaust pulses better than the factory H-pipe which makes a smoother/cleaner exhaust note and usually reduces the decel burble or popping. As for performance you will see a slight increase, 2-3HP... probably not noticeable seat of the pants.
