Cool Magnaflow and bullets?? help please

I recently installed some magnaflows on mine and I like them. However, when I installed some B&B bullets on my Z06 it just blew the magnaflows on my SSR away. Their 10 times deeper. Anyone know if Magnaflow makes anything comparable to the low and throaty noise generated by B&B's bullets, but designed for an SSR?? It's a shame B&B has nothing for the SSR. . please help

Be prepared

This system with the chambered mufflers is very loud.
The cabin noise is so bad on excelleration (even slightly) between 1,700 and 2,200 RPM you can not hear the radio.
Don't get me wrong about this. I love the sound and I can always turn the radio up.

When I planned the installation of the "Y" pipe and the chambered mufflers I wanted the stock muffler to tail pipes flanged.
I wanted to be able to remove the chambered mufflers and "Y" pipe and replace them with the stock muffler if I found it to loud.
I also wanted the ability to make up another muffler system that would bolt in.
The muffler shop knew what I wanted to do prior to doing the work.
They welded it all in because they did not have the front flange that mated up to the factory head pipe.
I regret letting them do it now.

I would imagine that straight pipes are as loud.

HOLY COW!! My straight through pipe is mellow and soothing. It is hard to beleive they installed mufflers that acutally made the true sound so loud. Even with the top down under full throttle you can still hear the radio fine.

I thought the chambered pipes would be quiet in the cabin.
All those little scoops in the pipe must trap the sound and send it through the cabin.

What are B&B bullets?
Olaf had the Magnaflow bullets on his SSR.
