Default c5 exhaust

Anybody have an opinion of the GHL Bullets on the C5? Too loud? Freeway drone? I guess I'm old enough now that I dont want an obnoxious exhaust. Now there was a day!

Anyway, I'm looking for opinions. The GHL's seem to be pretty reasonable pricewise when on sale.

Tom Wong..., any opinion? What's best given my parameters?

Thanks in advance for all responses.

I've got GHL Bullets on my Vette. It's not too loud at all. I love the way it sounds.

I have LG Pro long tubes to an off road x-pipe (no cats) to the GHL bullets.

I absolutely love the sound of the whole setup, but you will be more neighborhood friendly with keeping your cats on. There is a guy in the F/S section selling the GHL bullets with a small dent on the top of the canisters for a reduced price!

Below is a video of a guy comparing the GHL vs Borla.

My personal opinon is that they will be LOUD and they will likely drone. The borlas tend to be quiet when they are new but once burned in they get loud. My suggestion is the Corsa touring or for a bit louder the Corsa pace car edition. They are loud at WOT when you want it loud, and when at cruise they are quiet with no drone at all.

I just installed a NXT Step system and really like it. As soon as I get my camera back I'll post a clip of how they sound. I do miss the low rumble of the Flowmasters but the sound of accelerating is much more fun. And they don't drone....you can run pretty quiet with them most of the time.

And the tips are very nice looking.

edit: The only reason I got rid of the Flowmasters was because the baffles were flopping around in BOTH of the mufflers!!!

I've got http://www.bbexhaust.com/car/corvette/c5/ and I love them. They have a resonator designed to cancel out certain frequency's so it's Loud at WOT but not to loud at idle.

I'm in Portland if you want to hear, though my car's got some other mods that changes the sound a bit.
