Resonance with B&B Bullets??
Curious to hear if there is any resonance with the B&B Bullets. Are the PRT's resonance free and the Bullets have some or are both resonance free?
I had Corsa Indy's on my convertible and really liked the sound, but don't want to add the weight back. Maybe I should just add some longtube headers and keep the Ti's.
Your thoughts are appreciated.

Re: Resonance with B&B Bullets?? (Rob 2K1)
The Z06 gearing will keep the PRTs pretty much out of their resonance range (1,400rpm) in 6th gear unless you are dragging along at 55mph or less (in 6th).
No experience with the Bullets.

The bullets have resonance between 2-2400R's in my Z, but for me I have no problem with it. The positives for this system outweigh the negatives heavily IMO. :cheers:

I have zero resonance with my Bullets. Don't know why mine seem to be different. I absolutely love them and highly recommend them.

You're exactly right IMHO, EFI-1. :cheers:

Re: Resonance with B&B Bullets?? (fdupny)
They say there are no stupid questions, but.....what exactly is resonance???? I have the Bullets. I would describe it as kind of "blub blub blubing" at times when i cruise, but love it. Love the sound, really roars deepon startup and WOT. :) So what is "resonance" is it a vibrating noise or echo??????????

Resonance is the drone sound you probably hear with your Bullets when you set cruise at 75 or 80mph. You don't have it when you are on the gas or off, just somewhere around that 2100rpm. The blub blub you are referring to is technically called a fart.

Re: Resonance with B&B Bullets?? (Rob 2K1)
I just installed a quad tip bullet system to my 03 Z06 and yes, there is resonance , like someone else posted at about 2000 rpms but I like it and I dont find it overbearing...It sounds mean, very deep and throaty...The dual tip bullet system weighs in at 29 lbs which is 3lbs more then the stock titanium system, but the sound, espicially at idle, is well worth the extra few pounds.....not to mention the look of 4 inch poliched pipes sticking out the rear.....by the way the PRT system, weighs in at 32 lbs. My figures are from the Billy Boat product catalog I just received......if you want one to look at and compare not only exhaust but also Headers, call them at 1-888-228-7435, or hear the various sounds at http://www.bbexhaust.com
