I'd say get them! 
cheap and great sound
I have B&B Bullets on otherwise stock setup (except for intake) they are loud but not too loud.....
BTW:::get an X pipe,,,any "completely straight" exhaust (like loudmouths and borla straight) kinda sound like a dump truck on idle IMO....my B&B bullets have small resonators so the "dump truck" sound 'aint too bad....
.....soon to get headers,,,then they'll be LOUD

Some people are exaggerating how loud it will be. I have a H/C setup with longtubes, and dual 3" cutouts before the rear axle. It's loud but not unbearable. I listen to the radio just fine (though you have to crank it a little). Not the end of the world. With the exhaust exiting out the back it would be significantly quieter (like the Borla straight pipes).

Yes some people are going a little overboard. With my big cam set up on my forged 347 i could still hear the radio with straight pipes the whole way out after the 1 7/8 headers. Sure its loud. But its not LOUD. Everyones ears are diffrent just like opinions.

My car is turned quite rich. SO on decal I do get lots of Pop-n-gurgle from unburnt fuel in the exhaust pipes re igniting. and Pop Pop pop.
also run small cam 224 224 581 581 112+4, Solid motor mounts too. whole Car shakes at idle and sounds like a motor boat too.

I have and love them. I run them with AR long tubes,hi flows, and x pipe. Its the best radio in the world. I really don't find them nutty loud and quite mellow at cruising speed. When you get on it above 3500rpm they can wake up the dead. I just installed another pair on my partners 100% stock vert and there real nice really not loud at all to you rip into it.

Is that a Vendor site or something? They are cheaper on Summit racing... I was considering them, then I took my exhaust off at the x to see about what it would sound like. These cars sound terrible next to old American muscle. Its true what they say. Motor boat sounding, raspy popping noises. No for me.

Borla
I have a stock 2002 Z06 with the Borla XR1. I bought it used from a guy who had long tube headers and he said it was too loud. It uses those same pipes along with a resonator. I love it and it is loud and on deceleration there is some nice gurgling and popping. I love the look of the 2 big pipes in the back too. I have a video in the car and outside.

I think I figured it out. Its just the sticker that comes with the kit. I have mine somewhere. Never thought of putting it on. It looks good, so I will put it on when I find it.
It looks like its in the paint on yours is all. So I was confused.
