Which B B exhaust system are you running?
Why did you choose it over the others?
Bullet
Route 66
Fusion
Just curious about what most people like.
I am considering the Fusion
Thanks

Bullets because I want the loud deep sounds they produce.

I have Rt 66's.Had Borla Stingers on my last Vette but the wife wanted something quieter on this one.. If I had to do it over I would get Bullets.. I like it loud though and the drone doesn't bother me at all. Exhaust is really a subjective thing .. Some people love Corsa's, which I personally hate. Fusions may be your best bet. Rt 66 in quiet mode and Bullets when you open them up..

I had the same problem 2 years ago with BB PRTs on my C5. I was never pleased, although the sound was awesome. Unbearable at highway speeds.

I got bullets because I wanted it loud and didn't want to pay for fusions. I would like to hear those in person open and closed. I have a love/hate relationship with the bullets, I love them on the weekends and hate them at 6 am on weekday mornings.

I had bullets on my 07 LS2. Yes they were loud. Yes they drone between 1200 and 1900. Yes they sound friggin AMAZING. Make the vette sound mean and aggressive, as it should.

On my 08 LS3, I have LG headers going to NPP exhaust. The sound is Awesome as well. I didnt change to bullets bc the car came with NPPs. If I had gotten a car with regular exhaust, I would have purchased the bullets again.

I have fusions because when I don't want the drone on the highway I can turn them off.

Route 66 because I had them on my C5 and when one developed a crack in a weld and I called them......they sent me a complete new set free of charge.. They even payed the shipping and did not want the cracked muffler back....Im sold on their looks and their sound also but their service and backing their product is what sold me on them

Bullets sounded great, but I was fearful of the drone. Rt. 66 wasn't quite loud enough for me, so I went with Fusions. I got best of both worlds. Loud when I want it, quiet on the hwy. First mod I've ever done on any vehicle. I LOVE IT!

The Rt 66s are quieter than Borla Stingers? Really? I just always associated any BBs with being extremely loud. Haven't heard them myself, but have heard the Stingers (and they are loud, but real nice sounding).

Bullets for me.. Loud, Nice deep sound..

There is a little drone, but you either speed up or shift out of it.. Drone is very subjective, does not bother me at all..

Went with Rte 66 oval. Love the sound and the look. The ovals fill the back the way it should.
