X-Pipe and Bullets????
Just ordered the B&B Bullets, as an "insurance" policy I may order the matching B&B X-pipe. I don’t want the dreaded “drone” to ruin the experience.
My question is this. How much will the X-pipe attenuate the sound/tone/drone of the Bullets?
I had the B&B PRT's and X-pipe on my 03 Z and they sounded marvelous, even the wife liked them and considering the 03 Z has ZERO insulation that spoke volumes on the system.
Any thoughts/comments from B&B Bullet owners is appreciated.
Cheers
Tom

I have bullets,and just added headers that come w/ thier own x-pipe!
So I have a B&B x- pipe with about 100 miles on it for sale and it would be a steal for you!
As far as drone reduction goes w/ x-pipe,I think it did help!
Let me know if you want the x-pipe,it's like new!

Tom,
I often find myself driving with the windows down even in this 110F Vegas heat just to listen to the sweet music that the Bullets make. If the windows are up and there is a "drone" issue just turn the music up a tad...all is well
I don't have the x-pipe either.

I have the x-pipe and I still have drone (MN6). Even a Dynamat layer under the rear cargo mat hasn't attenuated it much. IMHO, Anyone who says there's no drone with this combo needs their hearing checked.
