Love my Bulletts. Also was a big fan of Billy when he raced.

This is exactly why I hate the threads where people say "Which exhaust sounds best"
or, "I want something that has a deep rumble but not too loud" Sound is all subjective everyone has a different tolerence. Then the sound clips come and people listen and go buy without hearing the drone inside because there is no way to tell on a video.
To the OP, I agree with the rest, probably going to bug you more as time goes on than less. Hope you get it sorted out and get a different cat-back.

I'm 24. Longtubes no cats and bullets, theres no better sound then a corvette that growls when cruising and bites with you go WOT
I'll also agree bullets are not for everyone, but they are the only catback that make a "true corvette sound" IMHO.
Since you already have them on your car, leave them and let them grow on you. You'll notice once you stop pushing that pedal so hard its very light sounding.

Thanks everyone. This sound aint going to grow on me. Like someone posted earlier the longer I have it the less I like it. Can you imaging going on a road trip, sheesh. Haha, thank god I still have my stock set up. I think its going in this weekend. lol
This thread in no way is a negative bash on the product. I mentioned that I love the sound outside and the rumble. The more I read up on this, I am starting to think its just not the right exhaust for Autos, but thats just my opinion.
TO everyone who likes it...rumble on!

Nope. Wait til you take a long trip. My wife constantly complained about them. You are not the first guy this has happened to.

I installed B&B Bullet's on my 06 coupe back in M6 06. They lasted 24 hours and I had to reinstall my OEM system. I posted this in a thread and it got so out of hand that it was eventually locked. Interior panels buzzed and all mirrors were useless, my ears were ringing after a 30 minute cruise on the highway.
You learned a tough lesson.

Or a vette with a stock exhaust, haha. I always said that the vette was too silent. Waited forever to pull the trigger. Maybe the engineers who designed the vette actually were right on this one....

OP,
I put bullets on my car at 55k miles, I now have 80k miles and I installed the headers a few weeks ago. I drive my car everyday and do long weekend road trips with my local corvette club. Car sounds mean sitting still, crusing, or WOT. The fiance loves the sound and so do I.
I just unpluged the rear o2's. My check engine light is on right now. I'll have to get it dyno tuned to turn off the light and get the max power out of the headers.
The rear o2 sensors do not adjust anything with your ECU, so there is no problem running without them (other then the light is on).

Installed these; didn't need to turn off the rear O2 sensors. Had em on for a year trouble free until we went to NYC and the x-pipe hit the ramp pretty hard entering a parking garage, it bent the mini-cat and a CEL came on immediately. Ordered 1 new one to replace the bent one, got it two days later, put it on, CEL went away.......sounds like a NASCAR!!!!!!!
