Biting the "Bullet"


Loud Pedal

Recommended Posts

Well, I'm finally giving in and ordering some new pipes. Billy boat exhaust makes what they call a "fusion" exhaust sytem that utilizes the butterfly valves. I have the switch and use it quite a bit to get rid of the drone on the highway.

These things look like a work of art and sound awesome to me. Install should happen sometime next week. They gave me 10% ACE discount. :banannasword:

Jenna's response.... "You spent HOW MUCH ON A MUFFLER?!?!?!". Wive's don't get it. :lol

Who did you buy them from?

Probably could have got a nice set of LG or Kook's long tubes for those $$..........

I thought the $700 price tag on the C5 PRT's was high until I saw the C6 catback prices!! :jd

I'll beat on you at lunch!! :ken:

BB is right here in Phoenix. I'm buying direct from them and they are installing them. I found a better price on another web site, so I'll beat up on them a little more. They sure are proud of those damn things. I haven't swiped the card yet, so I can still consider other options. It definately needs to be uncorked a little though.

The next step for the exhaust would be the LGs and high flow cats. Then its set up for the heads/cam down the road. I bitched up a storm about the roof seperation issue, so its under a free GMPP major guard that exprires in another 55000 miles. Don't know if I can hold out that long, but it would be wise. Then again, when did mods and wisdom ever coexist? :devil

Congrats, Dave! I love my bullets. Sorry about the new "Z06" d!ck tax over and above the regular 'vette tax, hope you get a deal. You won't be disappointed. Nor will Jenna for that matter, once she hears that Z sing at WOT. :rockon2:

:agree

Stacie thought the same thing...why do you want to do that??? Then the first time she heard it WOT on the way back from Tucson she had a "girly" moment when I punched it to get by some traffic. Her exact words, "Boy, that sounds pretty!"

I took that as license for more mods. :lol:lol

When I bought the bullets for the '98 I bought them on sale from TByrne (no tax) and then arranged for me to pick them up at the B&B facility (no shipping). The Z should sound good on the runway Dave. :beerbang:

I called Tom and did the same thing. $1450 total. Saves quite a few bucks. It's still pricey for freakin' mufflers, but beats $2k!

Sound clips Bro!!

Before and after Please!!!!

If you were good you would get

1- idle

2- idle w/ fuse pulled

3-blast up the street

Then the same with the new tubes!!

Except all you do is flip a switch on the new ones to OPEN THE FLAP correct??

Can't wait to hear it!!

Dave, are you having B&B put them on or are you just picking them up from them? Robert :burnout

They charge less than an hour shop rate to put them on, so hell yeah. :banannasword:

I'll get some video. Time to wake up the neighbors... lol

I had the switch installed at LG motorsports on the way through Dallas after picking the car up in Kentucky. I use it quite a bit and it was the main reason I went with this particular setup. Gonna be suweeeet! :)
