JUST INSTALLED THE B&B BULLETS!
WOW! These sound great. I had the borlas on a C5 & was okay with the sound, but I wanted the throaty growl on my C6. These are the ones if you REALLY want to hear em. I love the gurgle on deceleration and the roar when you cut her loose. I wish I could do sound clips but I dont have the equip.
Thanks Lars! I got the sound I was looking for!

As I said above, I had borlas on a C5 and wanted more. When I first fired up the C6 inside of my garage with the bullets installed I thought, wow, I may have gotten more than I wanted. After backing out & driving down the road I decided this is what I wanted.
Also, I really dont notice hp gain, but would you really feel a 10-15 hp gain?
If you dont want to be heard, dont get the bullets. If you do, then you wont be disapointed.
edit: I gotta go for a drive now! Have a great day all!

Most dyno sheets I've seen show a minimal gain in hp, but they sound much better than stock.

I will just say this, If H.P. can be measured in decibels, then 10-12 is way shy. The sound is great and I am happy. I think I might even be willing to sacrifice 10-12 hp for the sound.
Love the bullets!
