Default Bullets with Headers?

I just sold my Corsas today and ordered my B&B Bullets. I have headers with x-pipe & high-flow cats. Am I insane?


The answer is yes, insane. This combo is so loud, that you will go deaf. After a 10 mile test drive, my ears were ringing. Not kidding. Took them off immediately. They are for sale on the forum. Ordered another set of Corsa's.

I voted that you are going to love the combo.
I currently have B&B Bullets on my car now and will be adding LG Pro long tube headers in the spring.

Yes. I've heard that combo from outside the car and it was loud the whole way down the street. If you like loud, you're gonna love it.

I have the B&B Bullets with LG PRO catted headers. IT IS VERRRRRRRRRRRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY LOUD. The drone at around 1500 RPM is unbearable. You can barely hear a conversation from a cell phone. It sounds nice, though.... but the drone at higway speeds is very bad, especially between 1500 - 1700 RPM, which is mostly the RPM at cruising speeds in 6th gear.

I have the Bullet PRT. Not as loud as straight Bullet. No headers yet. A friend of mine has Corsa and he doesn't like it.

Have KOOKS with high flow cats and BULLETS. They are loud, but sound great! WOT sound is brutal! I did I dyno yesterday and got to listen at the beastly sound from the outside and it more than made up for the drone inside. I plan to dynomat the hatch area to kill some of the noise and drone inside, but would not never change this combo.

There is a BIG difference. Headers will make the stock exhaust sound loud, so imagine that with bulletts. Add a CAI and...well...you get the picture.

I just took off a B&B bullet PRT set up because of the drone. Went with Boral,Vortech,A/R headers and high flow cats. Anyone want a Bullet set up???

I took the PRT off because it was too mellow for me. It had a nice sound and NO drone (or at least I don't remember any).
