Default Borla Stinger vs. B&B Bullet

been wantin to swap exhaust for a while now since my stingers are stupid loud and the drone is horrible with the cam, longtubes, and off-road x-pipe. i love the sound but it rattles everything in the car. the loudness isnt what bothers me its the drone. the only two setups i have looked into is the b&b bullets and the corsa. im not sold on either one but im not sold with the way the corsa fits. i like my exhaust to sit close to the body and in toward the car. i like it to have a good flush tight fit. i also looked at the GHL but i dont know much about them??? i know the b&b fits great, or they did on my c6. i just wondered how the drone with the bullets would be??? i would like to use the PRT version but i dont think it will work with the long tubes and x-pipe...

any opinions on the setup???

If your bothered by the drone with your current setup I wouldn't recommend the Bullets because they are known for their drone. I have the Bullets on my Z06 and love the sound, fit and finish. The drone got much worse after I installed a cam but it doesn't bother me at all.

I heared bullets are louder than stingers. I was going with Borla but I think i might change to Bullets because they are alot louder, and Drone doesn't bother me either

The drone is adjusted with your right foot.

Was it this video?, the sound quality isn't the best. I don't have headers installed yet, it's just B&B Bullets and the Katech Torquer cam in the video.

And the Bullets are louder also I had both exhaust on a C5 Z.

Love the BULLETS, great deep loud aggressive Amercian Muscle Car but you better be prepare for major drone.

I suggest the muffler mod personally like I am running with butterflys open full time, similar to Corsas, not too loud with normal driving, minimal drone and sounds INCREDIBLE at WOT (all for $250).

Ive had pretty much every exhaust and let me tell u... The Bullets drone just as much as the stingers so u might not wanna go that route... I agree with you 100 percent that the Corsas look like Sh*t the tips sit too low and the huge mufflers are hideous... With that said i recommend that u with the Fusions those will fix ur problem and are gorgeous..

I had the B&B Bullets and Borla Sports aka Stingers on my last C6. All I will say about the Bullets is you better arrange a personal test drive and not rely on individual testimonies.

I had them on less than 24 hours before I removed them. The thread where I announced that caused such a ruckus it was eventually closed by the mods with lot's of name calling etc. The word "DRONE" does NOT adequately describe what I experienced. FWIT I wound up keeping the Borla's.

So again arrange a personal test drive before you decide.
