Default BB Bullets & ARH Combo?

Looking for feedback from members with either one, or both of these mods done to their Vette. How's the Fitment? Horsepower Gains? Sound?

I had the bb bullets on my 2000 FRC when I first bought it, my neighbours could hear me coming from 2 blocks away and it was too loud for me but the best sounding exhaust in my opinion and best looking tailpipes! my car sounded like a formula 1 car, I also have Kooks headers and x pipe !
no one would want to race me ever! it sounded like I had 700 hp
but I since had them removed cause it was way too loud for my taste and put a set of Ti's .
every time I think of how good the bullets sounded I wish I never taken them off !

Yeah Ive watched a ton of videos on different exhaust clips and the one that sounds the best, by far to me, are the bullets. However, I do wonder that after the newness wears off & I've had them for a while if they would become annoying, and to loud for me as well.

I have the B&B bullet twin tips and AR Headers. Fitment is excellent and I love the sound. It is loud but not to the point I can't have a conversation at a normal level while driving, at least when my foot is not into it

I recently changed to the Corsa pace car Tiger shark exhaust. It was too quiet at startup and idle. I switched back to the bullets.

well if it gets too loud just roll up your windows when u floor it and when you are in your neighbourhood be at the lowest rpm's possible, that's what I did !just so the neighbours don't think your a jerk ! now you guys make me miss my bb and I truly wish I never sold it ! plus the tips are by far the nicest looking tips I have seen on a vette ! they stick out couple of inches and look very aggressive ! i did feel like i might have lost a few ponies when i put my ti exhaust on ! but that could be psychological !
