Need Advice On Exhaust Mods
I want to install B&B Bullets....does anyone know if I should get a X-pipe along with it? I'm concerned about hearing poping or gurgling sounds between shifting gears. Are Borla Stingers just as loud? And lastly, will I need to get tuned after the install? Any help with suggestions is appreciated.

I have the bullets now too, and the sound is awesome! I already asked wormie about his PRT, looks like that could be our solution. I might do that later on, right now i am just having fun scaring pedestrians when i down shift next to them 
Wormie are you saying that on the highway you have no drone at all? If thats the case i think I know what my next mod will be...

I just took the PRT section off of my Bullet system...man It sounds soooo much better!! You're going to get drone EITHER way...with the PRT section on, if just sounds like it's being suffocated. It's hard to explain, but the way it sounds without the PRT especially in first gear....man talk about some goosebumps!!!! I put my factory H pipe back on instead of an x-pipe...I love the way decelerating sounds! Plus, the PRT section rested against the power tube chamber and made a hellacious vibration! It HAD to go! Either way BULLETs ROCK!!!!!!!!!
If it's tooooo loud...then you're tooooo old....lol j/k

But I'm still concerned if the Bullets will effect the performance, such as horse power loss if engine isn't retuned. Seems I read once that in spite of the exhaust sounding more aggressive after the install, you could feel a drop in performance.....or is this only with headers?
