Have the Bullets with X-pipe and they are LOUD inside and VERY LOUD outside. It took me some time to get used to them and i travel 60 miles every day to work and love the way my car sounds, but these are definitely not for everyone. I definitely would say you want to get the X-pipe if you get the Bullets because that cuts down a good amount of the resonance on the inside but you will definitely have a lot of sound inside, if you like to listen to your radio often be prepared that the Bose can't go up loud enough to cover what you will hear on the inside, I mean you can still listen to the radio but there is no way to go louder than your exhaust tone. For me it was everything i was looking for, but I would say you should take a ride with someone that has them so you can understand clearly. I love the Bullets but they are not for the faint of heart!

Default Notes on Bullets

I have the Bullets without an X-pipe currently. These are definitely loud, but that's what some people like. I have some resonance in the cabin, but it is RPM and load dependent. In general, on flat highway at 70 -80 mph cruise the exhaust is audible, but not so much that I can't hold a converstion or listen to the radio.

I have the same question got a set of bullets off of ebay from a private owner. Will just have to chance it and Im ready to order x pipe if needed. I saved over $200.00 and got shipping included after the auction ended with no bids....Either no one wanted the bullets or no one was watching. Maybe they know more than I do.... Weather just went bad again here in Indiana so will prob have to wait until next week or so. The suspense is KILLING me.
