Default Replace B&B Bullet exhaust with Corsa exhaust?

Lately I've been thinking about swapping my B&B Bullet exhaust with Corsa exhaust. I've had the Bullets on my car for three years now and absolutely love them, but I was thinking about changing things up and trying something new. I've always liked the the sound of a Z06 with a cam, headers and Corsa exhaust combo. Below is a video of how my car sounds right now and another video of how it would sound with the Corsa exhaust, both cars have the same cam and headers.

My car:
Katech Torquer cam
Kooks headers w/no cats
B&B Bullet Exhaust



How it would sound with the Corsa's:
Katech Torquer cam
Kooks headers w/cats
Corsa Exhaust
(My car would probably be a tad louder and have a slightly different tone since this car is catted and mine isn't)



Should I swap exhausts?, I would like to hear some opinions on which one sounds better.

I prefer the higher pitch of the Corsa, but your car sounds amazing too I remember watching your video a couple times before buying my Z06 made me want one ASAP lol

As you listen to the vids, and bear in mind they won't have completely accurate sound like being there in person would, which do you prefer? Ultimately that's all that counts. If it's too close to call the next question would be- do you have $$$ to play with and is it worth it to you to make the change just to find out the answer?

Yeah good points. I think I'll try to find a local Z with that combo so I can hear it in person to make my final decision.

As Les said actually going out and finding a car with the combo you are considering is the best way to make an informed decision. Those videos sound different from what I have heard in person. IMO the B&B Bullets have a more muscular American sound and the Corsas are a higher pitched, European sound. I like the Bullets but it all comes down to your personal preference. Either way that car sounds nasty

I just went from the Corsa to the B&B and love it. B&B is what I had on my C5Z and is the only exhaust I'll ever use. It's also lighter too
