Default BB Bullets too Loud I need to change

I just bought a 02 Electron Blue Z06 and it came with LG long tube headers and high flow cat and the Bullets I just made a 300 mile trip and at 70 to 75 mph (2000 rpm) it is to much for me.

SOOOO I am looking to change and I think the Magnaflow #16732 mufflers are what I have my eye on. Can anybody out there tell me if the use them and how the like them. BTW the Bullets will be for sale for the person who wants a loud exhuasts.

Thanks,
Sid

They are the quad round tips they run $899 new I was thinking $500 used would be a fair price.

Find a set of the OEM Ti exhausts.I have the LG streets w/cats on my 02Z.IMO,the LG's bring out the best sound in the Ti's.

Good idea, I would go for a set of Z06 Ti exhausts..........It would be nice to find a seller in Indiana so I could just pick them up. If anyone has a set they can give me a call.

I could drive to your house with ear plugs in then change them in your driveway and then drive home. NOW that would be a road trip.

I have a very similar set up and I highly recommend the GHL Bullet exhaust. Don't let the "bullet" part of the description scare you. I have zero drone at highway speeds and very little at any other speed. The sweet spot if you will for the drone is at 60-62mph and that's only if I'm going up hill in 6th. I also don't have cats and I've heard that will cure the drone.
The GHLs sound mean at idle and are great at WOT.

I pulled the trigger on the Magnaflows (I hope I like them) so the BB Bullets are FOR SALE.

I have the same setup but with a big cam. It is insanely loud when you step on the gas. It is not fun on a long trip but everyone knows you are coming. I think I wil go back to the tis

Just put catless lg super pros on my 02Z with bullets, I love how nasty it sounds but I will probably go back to the ti once I get tired of it.

I have the same long tubes on my car hooked up to B&B RT 66 catbacks. It sounds pretty good. Not too loud at all...very tolerable. When I want it loud, I have DMH electric cutouts that I open up.

I was just in Cincinnati last weekend in the Vette. Prolly would have done that before I ordered the Magnaflows.
