Do you tip stick out far? I have the quad tip and it sticks out like 2" from the bumper, looks really bad.

I don't think they look that bad myself. I had GHL put the old style 4.5" Bullet tips (now discontinued) on a set of Magnums. All you could see was inside the unfinished tip. You couldn't see the beautiful belled 4.5" tips very well because they didn't stick out enough. I've tried 4 different systems on my car and the B & B Bullets may be the 5th. If they sound as good as everyone claims I might be able to handle the resonance.

Here some of the good stuff...






I personally like the way the tips stick out. I didn't pay good money for 4 huge stainless tips so I could hide them under the rear facia.

With the factory headers and cats it sounds bad ***, I cant wait to install the LG LT's

I get more compliments on the sound of my ZO6 than the appearance

You will need a partition if you want to hear the stereo or talk to someone in the car.
My only complaint is a broken rear hanger after about 40,000 miles.

Thanks
they are the best!
i have beed followed to/at shows. i had one guy follow me on foot entering a carshow for about 1/2 mile just to hear it and that was before the headers and X pipe. i have been stopped by the police so they could hear it. on the dyno at wot and 6000+ rpms it will MAKE you cover your ears if you are behind the car.

if you are in south texas drop me a pm and we will see if we are close so you can hear them

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.
I'd be interested to know how the Bullets compare to Stingers, too. I had Stingers on my car with the LG headers and RT cats and switched to the GHL Magnumss. I like the GHL's the best of any I've had yet, but am thinking of switching to B&B Bullets for the increased muscle car sound. If they're on the same scale of loudness as the Stingers I'd sell my GHL's and buy Bullets. If they're louder than Stingers I'll stay with what I have. I'm mostly looking for the stronger, deeper muscle car sound that many have said the Bullets have. Anyone heard both for a comparison?

Are the Bullets significantly louder than the B&B PRT's? I currently have the PRT's, and was considering switching to the Bullets. I'm getting LG LT's and was wondering if the Bullets would be that much different.

You might also want to concider the Magna-Flow cat back system - in my opinion they sound great and look a lot better the BB, Corsa or Borla.
