Finally got my Bullets on
I finally got my Bullets installed on Tuesday, so here it is in a nutshell. I was kind of excited to try these. I new the hp gains they claimed couldn't be possible on a ZO6 so I wanted to see what they'd really do. We did not dyno right before we installed these so the comparison numbers are based on a previous run. Peak hp was identical, 387hp, but the average on the curve is a 13hp increase and it comes on earlier, 382hp at 5600rpm vs 5900rpm. ( it also falls off sooner) Torque increased from 366.9 to 376.1 pretty generous I thought. :yesnod: Are they loud? HELL YA!! :reddevil 100% NASTY! I never thought I liked loud but they sound sweeeet. :D Downside of this is that they are untollerable at 1900rpm on the highway...definately need a partition, and they also burbble under deceleration. The tips stick out farther than the stock exhaust, and everything is a full 3". Most people will say buy the exhaust for the sound not for power...I've always thought the same. Believe what you want, call me a liar, but my car comes on stronger, sooner and pulls hard thru. :thumbs: :rofl:

Very encouraging to hear that the system increased power in the band. I was hoping for great sound and maintained performance...but this is a total package if I can reap the same results! :cheers:
Congrats!

lager99,
You said they stick out a little farther than stock, do they sit flush with the bumper or are they a little past? I am getting the system as well and I want a "stock" appearance if you will. :flag

Re: Finally got my Bullets on (lager99)
I really like seeing those numbers. I'm not much on dyno's but since I installed my Bullets I've been wanting to get it dyno'd. Probably will in the near future. Hopefully I'll see numbers like the ones you posted.
