B&B bullets by far are the best. they are not raspy, and do not make a vette sound like an outboard motor. they are deep, loud, and pack some muscle. If you add a cam and headers they sound evil.

I have B&B bullets on my car now with X-pipe and long tubes and I have considered selling them because around 2500 rpm its really raspy IMO. Im still looking for the same sound I had in my camaro (lanes 3" true duals dumped at the axle). Ive considered welding 2 bullets followed by 2 cutouts (with turndowns) towards the end of the x-pipe where the flange meets the catback. That way I could have quiet and loud at the flip of a switch. Im going to see if it will fit this weekend.

I have the magnaflow "magnapack" and headers. The magnapack has two glasspack type mufflers and an x-pipe. It's pretty freakin loud, but sounds good.

The previous owner put lg pro lt's on my 'new' car with the orx and the corsa indy catback. Its got a different sound to it. Sounds similar to stock (more midtone sound and not as bassy) but when you get in it all hell breaks loose. Its really loud at full throttle but on the highway at cruising speeds it's real quiet. Kinda like having a volume control under your foot haha. I like how it quiets down at cruise, but it is very 'raspy' sounding due to the design of the mufflers. I bought a used borla stinger setup and I'm gonna see how it sounds. If it's too loud I'll probably just sell both systems and go back to the stock zo6 Ti with the muffler bypass.

How is it going!?! How are you guys doing? I bet you are enjoying the vette!!


As far as exhausts for a C5, I really liked the Corsa catback and my Borla Stinger catback. If you are sticking with factory manifolds and h-pipe, buy the magnaflow x-pipe with whatever catback you get... It will get rid of the "motor boat" sound and the popping on decel. I would buy another borla stinger in a heartbeat, and secondly the corsa. I had loudmouth, flowmaster, and heard a few different other brands on C5's, and in my opinion the borla and corsa sounded the best.

After hearing sound clips of the Corsa online, I thought that was what I wanted...in person, I was really dissapointed with the sound so I bought the Magnaflows (even though they are quieter)

I went with the Bullets. Some resonance but worth it because of the way they sound.

Thanks, and if am ever heading up north I will have to look you up. I figure it would be fun to hang out with you and Fadi.

Sounds like a blast. But don't forget Dennis, and Chris. I am sure they would love to get in on the action. Stay in touch. By the way I carry a Sig 226 9mm at work. I love the name Sigforty.

I have a B&B bullet system on my car and would like to sell it. It is just not what I am looking for in the sound department. If you are interested drop me a pm.
