Default Bullet PRT & Headers Loud?

I have the Bullet PRT and it's not very loud at all. Good muscle car sound. Lots of cabin resonance though. I'm thinking about tossing the stock headers/cats and installing the B&B headers. Has anyone done this? How much louder does it get going from the Bullet PRT with stock headers to Bullet PRT with B&B headers/no cats? Don't want a ticket for loud exhaust.
Thanks,
Tom

Why not just start by replacing the PRT "H" pipe with the stock "H" pipe. That will make it louder with no investment (assuming you kept the stock "H" pipe).

That will make big difference.

The reason I want to add the headers is extra power but I'm concerned about the noise being too loud.

I had a friend put headers and NO cats on a C5 Z06 with Bullets (not PRT's). The car was loud like a NASCAR car. It was a hoot to drive, but I promise you that it is seriously loud. Taking cats off makes a big difference. I don't recommend that course of action at all.

I have also heard a C5 with Bullets/Headers. It sounded great but way too loud for street. Does anyone have Bullet/PRT/Headers?
Thanks

I have B&B Bullet's(no PRT) on my car and will be adding Kook's long tube headers in the spring. Here's a forum member's video of that exact combo, I am looking foward to my C6 sounding like this.
