Default What exhaust is louder on H/C/I c6 ZO6 Corsa sport vs B & B bullets set up

I have a 2008 ZO6 with H/C/I and ARH 2inch headers with off-road Xpipe. I currently have the Corsa over the axle exhaust and was wanting to know if the B&B bullet exhaust set up would be louder. Is there any horse power difference as well. My car currently makes over 620rwhp 556rwhp right now.

I have the B&B Bullets on my H/C/I & LT C6Z. If you have Corsa right now I wouldn’t do the B&B Bullets unless you love drone. The Bullets have a great deep sound outside the car. But the drone is RIDICULOUS. Literally rattles interior panels at certain rpms. I have been wanting to swap to Corsa Sport just to get rid of some drone.

Now.. which are louder? Well.. I am in a local corvette club and the president of the group has almost the same setup I do just different cam specs(my cam is slightly bigger) and his Corsa Sport exhaust is louder than my bullets. Totally different sounds though. Corsa is loud and raspy, whereas my B&B Bullets is a much deeper more old school muscle car sound.

Hope pe this helps.. in my opinion keep the Corsa exhaust.

I'm running staright pipes on my H/C car with ARH 2" catless headers....it sounds awesome IMO....start up is crazy and chops aggressively.... driving around isn't as terrible as some ppl make it out to be....DDing it I could see it possibly getting annoying, but as a wknd toy car I love the loudness.... highway cruising isn't near as bad as I was expecting it to be either

No discernible power difference, and I would imagine the Bullets are louder. Corsa is designed to have no drone on a stock car (manifolds, cats, etc.), where the Bullets will most certainly drone on that same car.

If you were looking at B&B Fusions, I would say fusions will be quieter...until the valves open up.

Remove axle-back system, install turn downs right off the end of the mid-pipe. I dare you...

What about tail pipes? Wouldn't the car look a little funny with the tailpipes gone? I agree with you I bet that thing will sound so good and very loud.

Yeah, might look a tad off, but I bet you get used to the look. This car (ZR1) is running turn downs at the mid-pipe... https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...166-68mph.html

I actually like the no tips look. Wish it was practical for daily.

It essentially costs noting to try other than a couple turn-downs.
