B&B Bullet VS Hooker Blackheart W/O mufflers
Hi everyone. My C6Z is now in the garage for the winter and I don't know what axle back I should get before this spring. I presently have KOOKS catless X-Pipe and Headers and I don't know if I should continue with a full straight pipe setup or go a little bit ''quiet'' with the B&B Bullet axleback. Extremely loud exhaust isn't a problem for me and drone isn't an issue either. The thing is, loud doesn't always translates to a good sound... I'm sure a lot of people went that route here. Does it sound good on that platform or not?
I found a video of my setup with the B&B bullet so I pretty much know how it sounds, but I only found one decent video of a near stock C6Z (mine is stock to)with a full straight pipe with bad sound recording, so it's hard to make my mind on it.
Thanks.

there is a guy selling custom exhaust thats in the classifieds thats labeled "spintech exhaust" and it sounds amazing.
its a good deal, it will prob drone some BUT less than bullets

Any one tried the blackheart without mufflers setup, Im in the same boat as the OP and on the fence between the two. Car is a weekend only. So loudness is least of my worries. But like OP said I want a decent sound not hot garbage.

I have the hookers with mufflers. Great fit/finish, and nice sounding system. Sounds good on highway, but idle and around town it is LOUD. I couldn't imagine the no mufflers not being anything but stupid loud.

C6Z straight through ARH 2" to 3" all the way back but I use BB Bullet round tips to finish it off. Resonators and conical screens are removed. Can't imagine driving it without ear protection and/or on the street. Like Unreal suspected it's just stupid loud. It's so loud you can not even get a decent sound byte inside the car. At all the smaller tracks we run at you can identify it anywhere on the track just by listening for it. Can only say that about a couple other cars usually. Way too loud for the street IMO and not the best sound.

Helmholtz, no drone, drives and sounds great, just loud at idle/low speed, but not bad at all on highway.
Snap crackle/pop is cereal and more to do with the tune than mufflers. Yes it shoots flames and all that fun stuff, but my car is also 1000+rwhp setup, so that has an effect.

x2 my Cammed LS7 with B&B bullets (no cat headers/X) i love loud cars, but i have to wear ear plugs on the street with this setup. cant talk to the person next to you, and within 5 minutes your ears feel and ring like youve been at a concert next to the speakers for 2 hours. . i even tried dynomatting the entire rear tub. did nothing.
on track its fine as the helmet muffles just enough.

I have the B&B PRT and it sounds amazing! Did drone a bit when it was installed but I could live with it. Took them off because it was too loud in the mornings and the recent exhaust laws in Cali.
