I have the bullets, they are great. Very fine build quality.
If you have stock manifolds, cats and h-pipe they will not be too loud. If you go to headers with no cats or hi-flow cats it gets pretty darn loud.

Bullets
I heard the Bullets at the FunFest and had most of the major manufacturers there to have a audible comparison. I had B&B PRT's and wanted something a little more agressive. I liked the B&B's but wanted to listen to the Stingers as well. I liked the Bullets. I bought them after sitting in a Vette and "feeling" them.
Now that said, the demo car was stock with the Bullets only replaced. These are the quad tips. Mine, Headers, high flow cats, X-pipe and now the Bullets. Mine are without a doubt MUCH louder. They said there would be no resonance, but with my setup there is. I would imagine the stock setup would even things out a bit and an x-pipe change may take some of the backflow gurgle out. But mine does have some of what I have heard called motorboat effect. But in WOT, if you are looking for that seat of the pants, everyone knows you are coming, race car sound. Then this is it. If you still care about hearing your stereo, then maybe you should consider something else. One other thing, mine is a vert and that will also add to interior sound.

Ya, I think I will be getting the Bullets in a few weeks. Sounds like what I want. But what is the motor boat thing I've been hearing? X-pipe would get rid of this? Thanks for all the help everyone!
