GHL Bullets Installed!
Swapped out my B&B bullets this weekend for some GHL Bullets. I really liked the B&B's before the heads/cam/intake swap but it was too obnoxious with the new setup. I must say that the car sounds PERFECT now! Just the way I want it!

well, compared to the B&B bullets, no. I would say very minimal drone around 2200rpms. I mean very minimal. With the B&Bs i thought my head was going to explode. The GHLs are very surprising. They are still very loud when standing behind the car but much quieter than you would expect inside the car.

On a side note, I did LOVE the B&B's before i did My H/C/I. But they did still drone.

I put on the GHL Bullets and voila ! No more drone, but still retained a deep muscle car sound. Perfect sound to my ears. I can cruise at any speed and hear the radio perfect, have a conversation with my buddy in the passenger seat... etc... My wife even started to drive in my car again.

Thanks, sorry to hear about your misfortune. Did you use C clamps and some 2x4's to help align the tips before tightening?

1st post has been updated with pics. I didn't get them on exactly perfect but perfect enough for 1am...
It took about an hour to install. The hardest part was grinding away at the tacK welds on my old exhaust. Once I got my old exhaust out it only took about 30 minutes. And I did have an extra set of hands helping me.

I had west coast corvette put them on . They worked on them for almost 2 hours . the guy told he did his best but the tips point down slightly.He tried everything , he told me to call GHL and I did . Jeff said he would send me another set and he never did. All he did was post on Corvette Forum all fixed. BS what a chicken ****. . I am a perfectionist. I love taking my car to shows. Hate displaying something that looks off. I guess I should get over this . LOL

My car is boosted, blower cam, headers, no cats and the sound that comes out of the GHLs is sweet music to my ears.
I have got compliments on how the car sounds from several people at stop lights!
B&Bs sound sweet outside the car, but inside is a whole different story!
