Default BB Route 66s with A6..your experience

Hello all,
Needed to collect some data before I buy my muffs. What have your experiences been with Billy Boat Route 66 muffs on A6 cars.

In paticular, Ease of installation, Fit/Finish, Drone at "in townspeeds of 20 - 45 mph" and Drone at "Highway speeds 65 - 80 mph", would you buy them again?

Also which muffs (evolution series?, sport vs touring?) does your system have and does it include the crossover pipes...

Thanks,

NL

I bought them because the tips look great, are louder than stock, and have limited resonance. The resonance is low in the 1600 - 1700 rpm range, very tolerable. I personally would like them louder, but the trade off for drone, is not for me. Installed at local tire store, 1 hour $65. Here is my sound clip.

At idle they are the same decibel level as stock. Finish is excellent.

Billy Boat's quality is unsurpassed. Installation is easy. There is some drone at hiway speed, but it is acceptable to me.

Has anyone put Billy Boat Bullets on a C6? Had them on my C5 and loved them! Any results?

Maybe I'm little more sensitive, but the 66's drone was too much for me. (A6) Be careful.
