Default Ok, I made my decision...

I'm gonna get the B&B Bullet exhaust, but I have one other question. For the people who have this exhaust, is it loud in the interior of the car? I have the stock cam, so it would just be he exhaust. But when I'm cruising, will it be loud and annoying? Is it louder than Borla? Would I need to purchase the x-pipe?

That all depends on your definition of "loud and annoying" When I put mine on, I had no other mods except for a Blackwing. I didn't really care for the sound at idle, but under acceleration, they sounded really good I have since then added an LS6, Stainless Works headers and an X-pipe. I am very happy with the sound now, but it is LOUD.

Agreed on it all depends on your definition of loud. You can definately here it, but I do not find it overly loud or annoying at all. I love actually being able to hear the car. My wife likes the sound too. It is quite a bit louder than stock (big surprise huh)?

Louder than Borla's, I would say yes, slightly on a fairly stock car.

As for an X-Pipe, it will smooth out the overall sound. I do not have one currently, but likely will soon as I do want to smooth out the sound a bit.

I started with just the bullets. Very nice. not too loud. I have since added LT headers and X-pipe. The only time it bothers me is cruising at 80 mph. Then the rpms are at about 1950, and it is annoying. Around town it never bothers me cause the note continuously changes. and it makes the ricers run.
