Had B&B Bullets on my '02Z sounds great but novelty soon wears off, lot of compliments but drones like crazy. They also stick out too much, just looks goofy. Replaced with B&B R66's, nice mellow sound absolutely no drone and fits perfectly.

I have the Bullets, and I love them. Yes, they are loud, that is why I bought them. The drone, as some call it, has never bothered me.
Of all the compliments I have ever recieved on my car, the sound and looks of my exhaust is by far the highest.

Here's another view from the back on the GHLs.

Here's a follow up to my first post.

I've had three exhausts on the car because I was worried about drone. Stock TI, GHL, and now B&B. I too was worried about the drone so I did the mods in steps. I bought used sets here on CF and then resold the old stuff. Kept the cost down.

If you are concerned about drone, get the quieter set. After you run with it for a while, you will know if you want louder or if you are happy with what you have.

Regarding the PRT that someone mentioned (even the Corsa). Be careful. The sounds of those two are both very very different than the GHL/B&B. The GHL/B&B are much deeper sounds. The PRT and Corsa are a more distinctive, higher pitched sound. Go find some Vette buddies in your area and listen to them.

If you want a unique sound that not many have, the GHL is the way to go. I got compliments all the time with people asking what setup I had. Plus, the tips don't stick out past the bumper.... On the B&B, they stick out several inches past the bumper....

Good luck in your choice!

Thanks for the info guys and the pictures of the GHL's. Been listening to clips on YouTube for hours and just can't make up my mind. I wish I could find some C5's (or any Corvettes) around here to listen to different exhausts to help decide. I'm still leaning toward the Bullets.

Key for me was that the BB bullets added no weight over my stock Ti's. GHL's certainly weigh more.
