Default Exhaust Help or suggestions?

Hi All,

I am looking to put a GHL Bullet Series exhaust on my 2001 with the 2.5 inch 304 stainless mandrel bent X-PIPE. I am looking for the v8 sound, but do not want a lot of interior resonance. The wife is the problem here. lol.

Thanks for your Help,
Mike

The GHL Bullets are supposed to be the way to go if you don't want any resonance. Mine are on order so we'll see real soon just how good that famous V8 sound is.

I am in the same boat as you. I did a lot of research here as well as local vette clubs and ordered the GHL Bullets as well. They are having a slight problem with getting the tips and my order was delayed one week. So hopefully I will be able to reply to your question first hand by Friday!

Drink the GHL Kool-Aid, as they say, and you too shall be a convert. Have the Bullets on a 2004 A4, freeway cruise @70 is as quiet as stock.

I get absolutely no resonance from my wife when were out. And none form the Corsa Indy's w/ Dynatech headers either.

My vote for the Corsa indy's. I've had several sets. No resonance.
