Of all the exhaust systems that I've heard, B&B Bullets are the greatest..They make a beautiful noise..... They are next on my mod list.. There are a few I've yet to hear, such as GHL...

Last year at the Mid America fest A few vendors were installing exhaust. My fav was the B&B Bullet system. I think Corsa was another vendor .. others may chime in and say who else was there, maybe 4 total? You could hear the cars once they installed the exhaust and each vendor had a demo Vet there so you could hear it as well.

If I rem right, vendors were selling the exhaust for cost and doing the install for free, only cat back systems.

There are sound clips on the B&B website if you havn't heard them yet.

I've been considering these myself. Hope there's some special pricing going on at Carlyle in a few days.

Amazing sound. they'll scare the hell out of whoever is in the adjacent cars. Just be prepared to have a lot of vibrations and plastic stuff in your car that was quiet before, but now will rattle. But the sound is worth it.

One more thing - even though some of the adverts claim no resonance, mine is pretty intense at 1500 RPM. But a little soundproofing under the carpets may quiet it down some.

I was at that Event 2 years in a row.. And I agree!!!!! The Bullets KICK ***!!! I got wood listening to them.. And I have LT headers, Gutted Cats and Corsa Indy's... They STILL SOUNDED BETTER..
I know I am going to make the switch soon... I may look for a trade...

Mine is Automatic. I called the B&B folks to ask about it. The first reply was "don't drive at 1500 RPM!"

I guess that was humor.

But then he said "after you put 700 to 1000 miles on them and they buildup carbon inside, it will quiet down".

5000 miles later - it's still the same. But I STILL wouldn't trade 'em cause they really sound terrific. I just wish I had the 4-tip, maybe I'll see if anyone wants to swap just the end-pipe extension with the tips.

I know that resonance you refer too.. When the dash sounds like it's coming unglued....

My Wife had a 1990 Coupe that I upgraded to a Dynomax. OMG!! The resonance inside the car was louder then outside.. They were terrible.. and the entire interior would vibrate..

That is the definition of Resonance... SOme people think it means loud... Not...I means things that are not meant to vibrate DO...

The Bullets are just straight pipes, like the Borla straight pipes (past X of XR1 system), right? I was running that way with LGPro catless longtubes for a while, but thats pull-me-over loud.
