I'm running LT with the B&B Bullet exhaust and i love the sound. It's not that loud inside the car unless you compare it to a totaly stock C5.

They are awesome!! Little resonance but partition helps some with that. Sound great when decelerating and downshifting too!!!!

Big Corvette Wave and Hello to You,

Exhaust Systems, like custom audio-stereophonic systems, are very subjective and particular to the individual considering such an upgrade. However, out of the many aftermarket systems that I have installed in my vehicles from Flowmaster, Corsa, Borla, GHL, Hooker, to SLP, etc., I just keep coming back to the B&B Bullets. IMHO, this particular system provides the profound and tremendous muscular exhaust note that I desire from such a product. And, the quality is exceptional.

The tone and muscular note that emanates from this virtually free-flowing dual tip exhaust system is truly amazing. And, the aggressive rumble on decel always captures a second glance of awe and admiration whenever I pull into any parking lot.

Frankly, I find more admirers going out of their way to stop me when I am filling up at a Gas Station to compliment my car. To the many admirers, that thunderous exhaust clearly states that this is a Corvette: An extremely noteworthy and respected high performance vehicle, and, American Tradition in raw performance power.

Now, do I personally perceive any interior resonance in the cockpit of my vehicle: yes. However, at highway speeds it is not that noticeable. Again, opinions are personal, subjective, and, also based upon auditory tolerance, as well as, on what you are really looking for in an aggressive sounding exhaust upgrade product. The B&B Bullets are great!

Best Wishes,
Eden

Haven't washed the car in a week or so. Excuse the dirt. But here is what the quad tips look like. I love the B&B Bullet! Wow, it's loud! But I agree with what most of the other guys are saying. It's the way the car SHOULD sound!

i have very good pics of the quad system i will post on saturday. i just got a used partition from a forum member and it along with some insulation under the carpet makes all the resonance go away. my mn6 had the most resonance around 2500 but after the insulation it was much better. now with the partition in the car, it sounds just as loud as stock inside but you can still tell you have a nice agressive sounding exhaust. i love this set up. best sounding exhaust i have heard so far. it is a glass pack design not a straight pipe. very tuned sound.

I Was thinking of going with the Borla Stingers on my roadster. I don't want to arouse the local police's attention. But are the B&B Bullets much louder that the Stingers?

None in my local club has the Bullets staying mostly with the Corsa Touring or Indy systems, so I have no live compairison. Help me out before I make the wrong choise.

as long as you are driving like grandma, it won't be too loud to cause any noise pollution problems. WOT WILL get you noticed though.

I put the B&B Bullets on my A4 with kooks headers. Sounds great but at 2000rpm a little loud. I'm going now with 342 rear end its going to get louder. Oh well if its to loud your too old.

Awesome sound outside but, super drone insde. Makes the interior sound like it falling apart. I had them on for a few weeks to see if I could get used to them. Sold them and installed GHL's. Now have a great sound without the dreaded drone. They were the 4 tip variety.

1000% as i have put on 12K miles with the BULLETS on my Z06. If you can stand a little bit interior noise then these are BAD BOYS to get. If your looking for stock sounding interior resonance then these may be too radical for you. They get my vote HANDS DOWN but i tend to be a bit hardcore as to m tolerance levels. Best advice would be to get them if not bothered by some interiour resonance and if you are, get a few rides in some guys near you who are running the systems you are interested in!!!
