Come up to Toledo and hear my '98 with the PRT. I like it, it has a great sound at idle and at speed too. It does have a some drone in the 1500 to 1700 range. But overall I like it, I haven't herd the 66 so I can't comment on it.

I have B&B PRT exhaust on my '03 coupe. I love how it sounds. Idle has a nice rumble to it. Throttling up sounds mean. Wide open throttle is loud. If downshifting & idling down, lower RPM range, it will bubble & pop a bit. Some don't like it, but I think it gives it some character, hehe.

I'm still running on stock headers. Once I go to Long-tubes & a mild cam, I'm sure it will sound mean

I have the bullets and am switching to the prt's. I think they sound much better(to me the prt's sound louder than the bullets). I will get another video w/ the new prt's and post it up. You can hear the cam alot better with the prt's instead of the bullets.

I love mine. Bought the car with them on and have no desire to change it out. I love they they are not obnoxious at cruising speeds. Buddy had the borlas and sick of the drone at around 1500 ish. You will be pleased with the choice.

I've got the 66's on mine. A little louder than stock with a stock engine and H pipe. Sounded just like the ratings described.

Got louder at throttle when I put on the Headers, Hi-flows and X-pipe. Still no drone. Stll quiet when crusing.

The Idle was louder again with the addition of the cam but certainly not obnoxious. Sounds Great! Crusing now has a great exhaust note and you can travel long distances without being annoying. Personally, I would not go with anything louder than what I have now.
The addition of a higher lift cam, headers, High flow cats and X-pipe really changes the exhaust sound from a stock setup. So if you plan on making changes down the road you might want to keep that in mind too.

I have sold my PRT's to get the Route 66's. With the setup i have its way to loud. Suck driving it to work at 6 am, i think my neighbors hate me. with stock pipe sound great. Headers, no cats, H/C, PRT's = TOO LOUD.
Some might like it, but for me no thanks
