Help me to pick a catback :/
Hi
I have borla right now which is a mild exhaust. But it`s quite loud under load on 4th . I want a second exhaust for fun, but also to make 2000miles round trip through europe.
I want to have 4 tips
I don`t know why but i want a bb bullets , how much louder or quiter are ghl bullets ? How much difference is between prts ? What about loudmouth ?
I want to spend around 750$ because this is my second exhaust, so all corsas and borlas are out.
I want to have quite quite during motorway trip but killing loud while getting on it.
So ? What`s it gonna be ?
Thanks
Andy

Magnaflow would be a good choice, but don't know if it's in your price range new. GHL's have similar sound, but less drone. They are very nice, but also out of your price range. Same thing with Corsa's.
About your best option is to try and find a set of used C5 Z06 Ti's.
About your only other options are the Granatelli/Ebay exhaust's or Hooker. Both those options are under your limit. Do a search here for what they sound like.

corsas will give that exotic indy race car sound at wot and quiet the rest of the time.
Your post does not say what you are wanting for a long cruise really.
Ghl's are one of the louder exhausts out there. Most of the loud exhausts have the drone hum.

If you want quiet on the highway, yet loud at WOT, for a cheap price, get the granatelli. I paid $550 to my door, and they were easy to install and had a nice finish. They sound crazy under WOT, they will definitely get you attention.

thanks guys.
The thing is that i don`t want to sell borlas. Anyone have bullets and sound proofed car ?
Those granelli`s are good
So the other option will be ghl bullets or magnums.
I`ll take some videos in the car tomorrow.
This is how it sound`s outside now :

For $750 or less used Z06 TIs would be a good bet. I also have the Corsa Indys which I like. 
Paid $900 delivered last Spring. Just kept searching the web till I found the best price.
