There will be very little difference with or without a bullet, if your running a cutout or open pipe.

Do you want it crazy loud? If yes, then dont put any type of muffler on there, and your car will sound like it will eat children for breakfast.

true, it may have dropped it a few decibels, but nothing huge. it is mainly the tone. it is deeper with the bullet and more smooth, the pen cutout sounded harsh and sounded like absolute crap anywhere except idle and wot. with the bullet, it is smoother and not nearly as harsh. by harsh, i mean, sharp and raspy. the rasp was HUGE with an open cutout and the bullet helped kill alot of that.

it was still loud as hell though, yes

I think Powersticks sound better and i will be getting two of them for my duals soon.

Sound is personal opinion. Maybe you should listen to sound clips of the two and chose for yourself.

Find out what people are running around where you live and then you can hear the different setups in person. I know nobodies out now, winter but still something to think about.

the sound clip is actually missing alot of tone, if you know what i mean, the car is driveable so if there is a meet near by or next time it goes to syngery to finish up the tune you can hear it there.
