Bullets in 97-03s

Hey guys. I've heard bullets don't do much in these model trucks because of the number of cats. But I've also heard the opposite and that people love them. Can I get some more opinions if this will make my truck a good bit louder?

thanks

Look at my videos. I have all 4 cats, 3" piping from the Y back into a 3" bullet. 2 different exits in the videos. My truck is LOUD and DEEP. Highly recommend

v8s sound completely different than a v6. Not even worth comparing. A simple bullet swap (2.5") will sound real good on truck. Just dont dump it. If you want the most sound out of it, do what i did with the 3" pipe.

With the 4 stock cats... Anything you do (Bullets, straights, etc.) is still pretty tame/quiet.

My truck is nowhere near tame/quiet. EVERYONE comments on how loud my truck is. Thats just with 3" pipe, a 3" bullet and CAI.
