Default B. B. Bullet

Howdy all you B. B. Bullet folks :
Need you input.
I have a 99 coupe, with only the Blackwing Air induction system.
My baby is only driven on the weekends, if it's not raining.
I really like the looks of this exhaust system, but would like to know if they are loud or LOUD.
I have listen to the sound clips, and think they sound no louder than the Borla Stinger.

And what about hp gain ? The ad's claim 22 to 24 rwhp.

Thanks in advance for your advice.

I heard the borla exhaust at a local car show and was not impressed. It didn't sound much louder than the stock exhaust to me. I ended up buying the B&B exhaust and was really impressed. It sounds great every time I start it up. It has a loud roar. Mine is a little loud in the cabin at times so I am looking into getting an x-pipe. If you are looking for an aggressive sound, the B&B bullets won't dissapoint. I have a 2000 coupe and they sure make the car looks much better than it did with the ugly stock exhaust tips too.

LOUD, way louder than Stingers. My buddy has BB and I couldn't hear MY cd player when driving next to him in my vert. He had to get a partition before his wife would ride with him....They sound great, just very loud!!! If you want something that sets off car alarms then the BB is for you...

You'll be very happy with the B&B Bullets! Borla Stingers are a lot tamer in comparison.

No performance exhaust is going to give you 22-24rwhp.

havent seen a test to show that yet...
...Love them loud..not LOUD or even LOUD

I want my exhaust to sound as good as it look...
...the sound is a great comlement to our looks...

I love my B&B Bullets. I get compliments all the time on how sweet my car sounds. Plus I just installed LG LT Headers without cats so its even louder now. It sounds like a race car.
