Billy Boat Bullets are no joke man! I personally love them, but I’d say they are number one on this forum for guys buying them wanting some “rumble” and two weeks later you see a post in the “for sale” section🤣 with something like “they sound awesome but it’s too much rumble or to much drone...” just giving a heads up, if you want to hear billy boat Bullets let me know....I’ll drop some audio of mine.

Nice pick up btw! Looks good bro!🇺🇸

Not sure you can PM videos man, but I’ll drop some on here. Billy Bullets are 🔥 not for the faint of heart though....all the other bad *** noises are sold separately lol...







Here ya go man! Love the sound of Billy’s would trade them for anything else beside maybe a set of Akrapovic Titanium.

65-75 I’d say it’s definitely there, problem with trying to describe drone is everyone seems to have different tolerance levels, @ 65-75 you’d probably want to be in 4th gear for the least drone, 5th is gonna have more and 6th even more. I don’t care one bit about drone and it doesn’t bother me. It’s not a daily or a car I’m making trips in. I won’t sugar coat it though, when the wife comes out with me we don’t have much conversation while in the car lol. It’s not impossible or anything but it takes extra effort. A bunch of guys who sell their Bullets that seems to be one of the main reasons, the Mrs just isn’t having it lol. If you think that’s even remotely gonna be an issue go with the Fusions, more money but they have the mild to wild function to close the valves and sound almost just as mean as Bullets when open at high rpm.

Best advice I ever heard about how to deal with exhaust drone......”just downshift and drive faster” lol

What year is your vette? Mine is a 2006 and they didn’t put anything in ZO6’s the first year that didn’t make it go faster or handle better, no sound proofing or padding or anything man. So the interior drone is definitely more noticeable on that year ZO6, I also have damn near “all the engine mods lol” and no cats.

If you don’t mind paying a little extra for the Fusions that’s what I’d recommend, unless you can hear and ride in a vette with the Bullets and decide for yourself the Fusions give you the quite option, probably double the price though. Post some video after you decide and install! I always like hearing loud vettes!! Enjoy the ride bro! 🇺🇸

Nothing gets old quicker than an exhaust that's too loud and never shuts up. A cam that's too big comes in a close second though. Get some kind of dual mode exhaust. Then, it can be loud when you want it, and nice a quiet when you're not in the mood. Easiest, and probably cheapest would be a set of used NPP mufflers from an '09 and up C6. They come up for sale quite often on the parts for sale section. Add an "NPP in a box" exhaust controller and you're set. Stock like quiet or near straight pipe loud at the punch of a button.

Good point. Will most likely get the cat back fusion and headers and tune it and be done for a bit.

My GS had the B&B Bullets on it when I bought it. Was cool at first, but the drone got old really quick. I replaced them with Corsa Xtreme & also added LG Motorsports 1-3/4" longtubes with high-flow cats. The car sounds so much better & meaner than it did with the Bullets and ZERO drone when cruising. It's so quiet when cruising that I often drive in a lower gear just so I can hear it rumble, but when you get on it it sounds awesome.

Love the color - my wife's Wrangler Unlimited is a similar color, Granite Crystal Metallic.
