Default PRT and Bullets

Can someone tell me the sound difference between the B&B PRT exhaust and the B&B Bullets? Are the Bullets a lot louder? Does anyone have sound clips of both to compare? I'm wanting to buy but can't decide on which one to get?

Thanks!

I had Bullets on my '01 and '07. They are LOUD and I loved them!! PRT's are considerably quieter. Just compare the physical size of each and you'll know.

How much louder than stock are the PRT setup, both cruising and wot ?
I keep seeing LOUD on the bullets and it's starting to scare me a little until I hear sound clips!

Ok I found sound clips online but I cannot tell a difference with my crappy speakers ! Can someone that knows for sure let me know how much louder than stock the PRT's are. And just how loud is LOUD on the Bullets?

Thanks!

AFAIK, Bullets are the most aggressive on the market.

I have them on my '05 vert and my '09 Z06. I absolutely love them! I ordered them, and I'm currently waiting for them to arrive at MD Speed so they can be put on the new car. I don't know how much of a sound gain I can expect compared to the "performance exhaust" on the car right now, but at least (according to the sound clips on Youtube) it will sound American.

I had the PRT on my C5 and they were loud and sounded good plus there was no drone on highway. The Bullets are very loud and will have a lot of drone coming from them on highway.

You might want to do a search for the db ratings from B&B. I know that on my '01 Z06, at WOT they were around 109db. I got stopped on some very confined Autox locations because they were too loud. BTW, no drone.

I think it really depends on what your looking for. If you like a real aggressive deep sound the bullets are nice. In my opinion its how the car should sound. In no way do I think they are too load, aggressive but not too load. JMO

You will love the PRT's. I had bullets on my 1st c6, and they were way too loud on the highway. I put PRT's on my 2nd c6, it was awesome, great sound at wot! I helped Billy Boat sell several PRT systems after having them installed on mine, everyone who purchased them loved them.
