I did a google search on the fusion yesterday. Since I have NPP I didn't pay much attention but I think there is a separate kit you must buy to hook up the vacuum just like factory. I even found a You Tube video about how to hook it up. Seems like another $169 but it's easy to find.

What controls the valves?
The butterfly is controlled by a vacuum valve for non-NPP C6’s, as well as the C4 and C5 Fusion exhausts–which we built and developed completely in house. On the Z06 and the 2008 C6 with the NPP option, this valve is controlled by the ECU. The valve opens based on RPM and throttle position. The problem is the factory exhaust is very quiet, even with the valve open. Our expertise here at B&B is getting the “tone” right for your Corvette, and we think we nailed this one. Even in the closed position, the tone is deeper, louder, and more aggressive. Open the valves, the overall volume and tone increases to the point heads will turn when you drive up.
*Add our FCOR-0468 conversion kit for Corvette models without factory NPP controls. The kits comes complete with all the wiring, remote switch, vacuum line, vacuum accumulator, and vacuum switch needed for installation. Can only be ordered with Fusion Exhaust Systems.

I have the Fusion and I absolutely love it. It is switched via a key fob-type button, but actuated by vacuum from the intake manifold. There is a small radio receiver unit installed in the passenger footwell, and another larger unit in the rear ( fits easily in the storage compartment)

Still have it and works like a champ.
The BB system can be ordered several ways, with NPP from the factory, or add Mild to Wild if your car came without. Biggest pain is getting that vacuum port opened and getting the vac hose on there. It's tight for big paws.
