B&B Performance Exhaust - C5 Bullet

[rwpeders]

I just bought a 2000 C5 and it came with a new performance exhaust system. It was a new addition and was installed when traded (on a new C6) but the dealer put the car back to stock so it would pass inspection. There are no markings on the stainless to indicate brand but by looking at pictures on links through the Portal, I think it is a bullet system from B&B Performance Exhaust. No mufflers or CATs, just an inch or so bulge in the pipe.

Does anyone have experience with this system?

I'll try to post some pictures to aid in identifying what the brand is.

If it is a B&B 2-tip for a C5 it will be really loud [95+ dba] and have a really annoying resonance from 1950-2250 rpm which an x-pipe will not eliminate.

You describe how it sounded perfectly. Radios and conversations were not possible.

I'll take some pictures of it today.

yup my wife hates it, I love it I have been adding sound deadner and have quieted it down some inside but the rear bumper area is like a big sound chamber. Its not bad with the roof off and the windows down.

Here is a picture. Can someone confirm which brand and model this is?

But that's a good thing, right?

The loudness on acceleration including WOT would have been acceptable since B&B do warn it is the loudest system they sell, but the resonance from 1950-2250 rpm [They claim there is none...] was completely unacceptable at highway cruise speeds.

WOW, this is the best performance improvement any man could invest in. The exhaust rumbles, with yes.... almost NO resonance (convert). Check out this pic of my wife's reaction to the LOUD A** B&B BULLET EXHUAST!!!! They were wet from the spin around the block! Gotta love AMERICAS ONLY SPORTS CAR!!!

The B&B's I have heard make the idle on a Vette sound like a motor boat motor.

Steve,
I'd really like to see that pic of your wife's reaction.
