I've had three sets of B&B exhausts (two C5's, and one C6). I really liked the quad ovals on the C5's. But on the C6, I like the round better. It's all personal preference though.

I know they are hard to see, but this is the best picture I have of them.

Most customers go with the round tips.

Default Good to go with the round option!

Hello moshy!

I have the Route 66's on my LMB and that was a choice that I struggled with as well. After finally putting some computer imaging to work, the round really worked well with the entire tail-end of the C6.

My choice is round!

Good Luck and enjoy the workmanship of the B&B's!

Go on B&Bs website for pics.

I just bought the Bullets for my C6 and at the last minute I went for quad ovals.
They really fill up the space back there.

You will be happy either way.

I'm out shopping for mods on my just ordered C6 (the CAGS and exhaust will be the first to go) since I have the B&B PRT's with the huge 4.5" Twin Elliptical Tips

and love the sound and looks does anyone know if B&B plans on making a PRT system for the C6? If not what is the closest sounding B&B system to the fantastic sounding PRT's.

I talked to Mike at B&B some time ago, and he said they only planned to make the Route 66 and Bullet for the C6. The Bullet is louder than a PRT, but IMHO actually has less drone (I went straight from PRT's to Bullets on my last C5). The Route 66 is slightly quieter than a PRT.

I have no drone that I can detect with PRT's even before I DynaMatted, but are you saying the Bullet's are even better in that regard to the PRT's? If so that's my next exhaust system

I have the Route 66 Ovals and they look awesome........they fill up the entire gap in the rear end so you don't need to add one of the exhaust plates to fill it up. Mine look just like the picture above my thread. I have had many compliments at shows on their look.

They sound great, too!

Yes, that's what I'm saying. I had PRT's on my 01 coupe, then my 03 vert. I decided it was time to step up, so I took the PRT's off the vert and put Bullets on. I immediately noticed less drone. There still is some at certain loads, but less than PRT's.

Come on over to Houston and go for a ride!

Thanks for the info. I'm starting to assemble my next round of mods.

Trick photography! No, you are correct. I did the install by myself & after 2 hours to get em on, I ran out of patience. I need to break the clamp loose and rotate it a degree or two!
