GHL Bullets still exist?
I am in the market for an exhaust for my C5Z.
I have been reading that a lot of people love the Corsa Extreme and GHL Bullets. I cant find these GHL bullets for sale. Are these the same as Billy boat Bullet? Or were they discontinued?
Looking for something that is more audible when accelerating than stock, hopefully has some popping on decel, and no drone
Thanks
Dave

I thought I read a while ago that they went out of business but I just saw RSD has them listed. They are not the same as B&B bullets, B&B drone! I have GHL on my car and they do not drone at all. IMO they are the best sounding C5 exhaust! Louder than stock at idle and cruise but not stupid loud then scream when you get on it.

Hmm that's really interesting to see RSD have them. I added them to a cart to see if an inventory notice would come up and it didn't, so maybe they do have them?
Anywho the "original" GHL maker did stop production some time ago; until just now seeing RSD with them, the only way to get a set was to prowl the for sale section of several Corvette forums. The reason they don't come up often is because they're that good, perhaps not as loud as some may prefer, but the note is fantastic and legit zero drone.

I just went through this process last week as I was going to purchase an exhaust. I also found that RSD had the GHL's on their website still. I tried to purchase them and the order would fail at the payment stage. I called their customer service and they said that they have been out of business for some time, but for some reason they haven't noted that anywhere or removed the product from their site.
I settled on the B&B PRT's because IMO they had the closest tone to what the GHL's had, but I don't believe they're quite as loud. I was hooked on the GHL's sound from Matt Farah's one take videos on youtube of his C5. They reminded me of the best sounding car I've ever been in - Holley's Hooker Blackeart 5th gen Camaro SS. It's a true shame Hooker hasn't made anything for the C5 yet, I'd be first in line.
These videos are why I went with prt's, a great acceleration tone that's not just a straight pipe sound and lots of great noise on decel:
I'll know in about 2 weeks when they arrive if they live up my expectations

GHL Bullets
I have a set of GHL Bullets on my 04 Coupe. At idle they sound wonderful. Crack the throttle and they sound awesome. Albeit, at 70 mph in six gear (1500 rpm) they have some drone. Hear tell GHL had some quality control issues at the end. Think you made a good choice with the PRTs. Good luck with them.

The GHLs sound awesome but don't quite work as well with my 180 degree headers, https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...ld-thread.html so they will be for sale after I build a custom set of mufflers. There seems to be a demand for the GHLs, anyone care to chime in and suggest a fair asking price for when the time comes?

I have the ghl bullets on my car and hands down it is one of the best sounding exhausts I have heard, and I have had almost every exhaust available on my car. I found these, and they had the sound I was looking for. Every once in a while a set will pop up in the for sale section.
