Sounds great. Darn Mustang still sounds better though. I wonder why they sound so good and Vette even with good set-ups sound decent. Those sound pretty dang good though.

Ok the light has filled the room. I just saw a video of a Mustang wot and then watched the Vette wot. The Mustang in a fly-by-- me just casually walking down the street sounds heavenly. The Corvette at wot is heaven. If you want to see some vid and compare the two both are forum members here's the links.

OK. So I have been procrastinating for 8 months about getting the BB PRT system. Now I REALLY want them! Are they hard to intstall, or am I going to need to take them to a shop? Keep in mind I am no where near a pro. I can change my oil... Also, any suggestions on the cheapest place to get em?

Dude.... You better HEAR one IN PERSON before you buy.

To me, PRT's are NOT the KILLER system people here on the Forum proclaim.....

You may not want a "killer" sound, but trust me, they aren't that agressive either. Just a little more than stock if you ask me.....

They are much louder than stock. Indy comes from a car with headers and the BB sports. He didn't switch from stock to the PRT's.

Ask anyone who went from stock to PRT, they will tell you how much louder they are than stock.

Going from one aggressive system to another is not like going from stock to the PRT.

Bret,

They will require a lift on an automatic car for sure, just to get the old system off. 6 spds can be done in the garage if you have high enough jack stands. A shop should charge about 1 hour labor to do it.

We have great deals on all exhausts, if we can earn you buisness on a set, please call me.:)
