I believe so

You may want to read JediCowboy's post. The larger cans are harder to find.

Do you have plans for the exhaust?

Thanks! Yes, my plans are to sell it, but wanted to make sure I listed it correctly. Was too loud for my kooks with off-road Xpipe. Would be good on a toy, but not for me as a daily driver.

My GHL I had and returned it when they were having issues it would not line up the tips. My tips inside did not have that other piece inside. Maybe these were the first ones made.

Those are definitely GHL Bullets, I have them on my '04 and it is the same can and rear hangers. The tips are different than mine, so there must have been a design change at some point in the production. Mine are like the last post 93 Polo made, with a slant and no inner circle. What you have may be an older version. These don't come up for sale often and are no longer made. I was fortunate to get a set about 4 years ago from a forum member. Practically begged him to ship to me and even offered to pay more than asking price to get the deal done.

From what I understand the production on the larger can version (Bullet) stopped before the company was sold, but it might have been shortly after. After the company was sold production moved offshore where quality went down hill. Bullseye Tips were only available on the Bullets. I had roll tip Bullets on my 1st C5, and talked 3-4 friends into selling original design Borla Stingers for Magnums.

The Magnum smaller cans were made both pre and post offshore production.

Interesting information. So how big were the cans on magnums?
