Cashed in a boat load of change, time to buy a exhaust. Tell me about your B&B Bullet
Had a over flowing five gallon bucket of change, took it to the bank and turns out it was worth $1102.90. Time to up grade my exhaust. Thinking about B&B Bullets or GHL Bullets. I don't like the way the "cans" show on the GHL and afraid the B&B will have too much drone. What do you guys suggest?

Have to agree if you are nervous about drone - you might want to take a look at Corsa's - I have the Indy Pace Car exhaust and love it - loud when i want it to be and quiet with no drone on the highway when i 'm cruising

Cammed, headers and Corsa, Very Happy! She is quiet at cruise but roars when I romp on it!

I had the B&B Route 66 exhaust on a previous C5 and the drone was terrible - had to install an x-pipe, which solved that problem as well as the popping on decelleration. I have the Corsa Indy Pace Car exhaust on mine now and love it. Great sound, no drone.

Couldn't be happier with the sound of the GHL. Loud when you want it but slightly louder than stock when cruising. All of the BB sound clips I have heard sound kind of raspy. The price is much less than the Corsa too.

B&B Bullets here! I only drive my car about once or twice a week and the drone is pretty bad. I love the way they sound but after about a day or two of driving you will be ready to park it for a few days.

I've had both the GHL and the B&B Bullets. Now running the B&B because I stopped driving as much and wanted even more aggressive. Both are for someone that wants an aggressive exhaust note. If you are concerned about drone or it being too loud, go GHL. If you want one of the loudest setups out there, go B&B.
The biggest question before answering drone is what are your other mods. If you have headers/cam - B&B drones. No question. Pretty loud. I solve that by driving the highway in 5th or in 6th at a higher engine rpm (i.e. drive faster...). I've heard guys say that with and otherwise stock engine/headers there isn't much drone. Not sure I believe it, but you can find statements like that on the internet.
I used the GHL's for a couple of years before switching the the B&B's. GHL's are great. You get that nice deep growl from the exhaust and they have a reputation for very little to no droning. On my cam/header setup I had very slight drone at like 1500 rpms, but only in 6th gear. So basically if I was doing around 65-70 in 6th. Just a little faster and it went away.
I was always referred to as the loud blue car when I had GHL's. Now there are usually some expletives included in addition to loud blue car...
Here's a video of my current B&B setup. Cam/Headers/X-pipe/B&B Bullets.
I've got some other videos uploaded in there that you can thumb through to give you a sense of the volume of my setup.

Not to hijack but your title keeps catching my eye. I have a boat I'd like to "UN load" 
I like the Corsas on mine.. and best of all, I didn't buy them.
Oh....BTW, my lady friend keeps stealing my change!

My voit. would be for B & B PRT'S . PRT'S not as loud as the Bullets. But there is no drone with my PRT"S. The wife and I drove from Pa. to Key West and back . Good luck
the decision will be tough.

All I know...is the BB's on my supercharged Z06 get never ending compliments...the car scares the hell out of people. Bad-*** and no drone aren't possible in my opinion. Corsa's are nice, but they don't sound like nothin compared to BB's at full throttle. BB's are in C6R territory...they sound wicked.
