The sound for the C7 PRT would be very similar to the C6 PRT. If you order the exhaust with the quad round tips it will look like the NPP exhaust.

Thanks for your interest! We're almost there. In fact we've had systems available that could have been released as early as last November but it's taking us longer than usual simply because the OE exhaust for the C7 is much more advanced than previous Corvettes and we want to make sure we give the development of our systems the deserved attention.

GM spent many years developing their OE exhaust options for the C7 and we haven't been so arrogant as to believe we were going to design superior products in a few months. We're being very careful and precise while showing great attention to detail, even though we know we could make a quick buck by being first to market.

Our goal is to design and build exhaust systems that compete at the highest level the entire world has to offer and I am certain you guys will feel that way about our C7 products when we release them within the next month.

Thanks again for your interest.

Is anyone going to be introducing a two-tip system? I'm not keen on the appearance of the factory four-tip setup, but maybe these aftermarket configurations will look better....

The B&B systems with Speedway tips are two-tip systems, but if you're looking for a round/oval two-tip solution I haven't seen anything just yet.

Thanks,
Dave

I have NPP, if I get the BB Fusion, would there be any drone? Also, does this require cutting and welding? Or can i do it myself?

We have NPP on our Stingray, we put on the system in the video (Fusion), we have zero drone. Installation is bolt on, no cutting and no welding. These axel back systems include all hardware to work with your NPP system and computer. I talked to Mike Boat and he told me the days of creating a simple exhaust with just two mufflers is over. The BB systems have hundreds of hours of R&D that goes into each line. Mike also explained the hours to CNC machine down the hook ups for NPP, etc. I'm sure you'll be happy with this system, any questions, just give us a ring. Thank you!

Did you ever get these videos? I lived my bullets on my C6 and I am considering putting them on my C7 Z06 but I want to hear them on the Z06 with PRT, Bullets, and borla systems too. The only clips I've found have been on the stingray...

If I were to buy B&B bullets for a NPP car. Would I just install the new exhaust and zip tie the NPP valves off to he side?

The Fusion Exhaust provides that same bi-modal functionality with a more aggressive and race inspired tone. With the tips closed, the Fusion and the Stock exhaust are comparable. The fusion's tone is deepened and cleaner, but, it's not noticeably louder; however, when a Corvette outfitted with a Fusion Exhaust opens up, the sound is unmistakable. The Fusion provides a hearty, muscle-car tone when wide open that is similar to the B&B Bullet exhaust, only a little bit quieter. This is achieved through the use of shortened Fusion mufflers that provide a more free-flowing and resonant exhaust.

...just had a set of the fusion exhaust put on the Z. It is considerably louder than the stock NPP system, much deeper rumble at start up and low RPM's and screams pretty loud when you get on it. Not much of a difference in sound switching from tour to sport or track mode, but we do have a set of ARH long tubes as well so that likely accounts for the sound difference as well. Highly recommend B&B, hve had Corsa on other Z's good system as well, but the B&B's are a deeper sound to me while Corsa is more exotic

Thanks for this post! I would describe the Fusion almost word for word exactly the same way.

Billy Boat Exhausts have become one of the premiere exhaust manufacturers for the Corvette. Since 1989 they've been manufacturing and building top of the line exhaust systems, and have always been at the very top of the Corvette exhaust R&D market. Each Billy Boat exhaust is manufactured from the highest quality stainless steel components and is designed with the specific vehicle's exhaust flow and tonal needs in mind. It's this attention to detail, quality, and performance that has made them so popular and that makes us at Southern Car Parts so proud to be your number one source for Billy Boat systems.

All Billy Boat exhaust systems on our website are on sale well below the MSRP price, and we stock most of them for your Corvette ordering needs. We've installed Billy Boat exhaust systems on our Corvettes here over the years, and have consistently been impressed with them. This impression is what has brought us to support and respect their products as much as we do.

All that being what it is, we run in to a lot of questions about the various Billy Boat exhaust systems. Because they make so many different types of exhaust systems, and each one has its own ideal use and Corvette application, these questions typically boil down to which exhaust is right for each customer. To try and help clear up some of the confusion, and to help you decide if or which Billy Boat exhaust system is right for you, we wanted to address the benefits and characteristics of each one.

Billy Boat has made three different C7 Corvette Exhaust Systems.
  • Gen3 Fusion Exhaust (uses OEM style valves bi-modal)
  • PRT Bullet - Nice aggressive sound, no drone
  • Bullet - Loudest system BB makes

Gen3 Fusion Exhaust
When GM designed and introduced bi-modal exhaust systems for their flagship Corvette line-up they took the automotive world by storm. These exhausts are brilliant for offering a more tame and quiet driving experience at lower RPM ranges, while also opening up their valves for a wide open roar under more intense, heavy acceleration, and red-line pushing driving conditions. Of course, even with that in mind, the stock mufflers designed by Chevrolet are way too restrictive for the sound most people want and expect out of their small block V8 engine.
The Fusion Exhaust provides that same bi-modal functionality with a more aggressive and race inspired tone. With the tips closed, the Fusion and the Stock exhaust are comparable. The fusion's tone is deepened and cleaner, but, it's not noticeably louder; however, when a Corvette outfitted with a Fusion Exhaust opens up, the sound is unmistakable. The Fusion provides a hearty, muscle-car tone when wide open that is similar to the B&B Bullet exhaust, only a little bit quieter. This is achieved through the use of shortened Fusion mufflers that provide a more free-flowing and resonant exhaust.

--------------------------

Next up, we have the Billy Boat BULLET Exhaust
The Bullet is one of the most, if not the single most, aggressive exhaust systems on the market for the C7 Corvette today. Designed to optimize exhaust flow for peak performance numbers and the most powerful and throaty exhaust tone, the Bullet is as loud and as powerful an exhaust as there is.
The Bullet utilizes a very classic muscle-car design with straight-through high-flowing mufflers that provide a deep and throaty resonance for a very classic muscle car tone. The crescendo through the RPM range with the Bullet exhaust is one of volume and strength that harkens back to the classic American muscle car age with thunder and bravado; of course, the C7 Corvette-with all of its technological improvements and incredible power numbers-is anything but an old muscle car, and Billy Boat was able to design the Bullet to truly pay tonal homage to the Corvettes of the 60's and 70's, while also still holding true to the modern Corvette's undeniable race pedigree.
For a Corvette enthusiast that not only doesn't mind loud, but feeds and thrives off of it, the Bullet exhaust may be perfect for you. If you're not afraid of drone, or of rattling the windows of your neighbor's home when you start your 'Vette up in the morning, then you may want to check out the Bullet. Just as the Fusion is designed and modified to specifically meet the needs of each model and generation C7 Corvette, so is the Bullet.

--------------------

Finally, we have the Billy Boat PRT Bullet:
If you prefer the straight-through exhaust design, but aren't a fan of Cabin Drone or excessive noise like you would expect with a Bullet exhaust, then Billy Boat's newest exhaust design, the PRT System, would be perfect for you. The PRT, which stands for Purge Resonance Technology, is a masterpiece of engineering and design brought to you by Billy Boat. This complete redesigned and reengineered exhaust for the C6 Corvette is the latest in Billy Boat's history of designing powerful exhaust tones with drone control in mind.
The PRT offers a more subdued touring tone at regular driving speeds than the Bullet, with a more race-inspired straight-through tone and design than the Fusion. This results in greater HP and Torque gains across the entire RPM band--Dynos on some C6 Corvettes have reported as much as 18hp, with 14-15 being a commonly achieved norm. The Purge Chamber technology helps keep the exhaust mellow at cruising speeds but allows it to open up for a very aggressive and powerful tone under more extreme driving conditions that is similar to the Bullet in quality. Where the PRT separates itself from the Bullet, however, is in its minimal Cabin Drone. "Drone" has become a no-no for modern exhausts and a dangerous word around the forum community, we know, and Billy Boat took that to heart when designed this exhaust. For the powerful tone and volume this system puts out, the drone is absolutely minimal. What this gives is a straight-through exhaust that sounds beautifully, and couples perfectly with automatic or paddle shifter Corvettes, as well as those with complete Long Tube header packages.

Of course, Billy Boat doesn't stop with all of these options either. Each and every Billy Boat exhaust for the C7 Corvette is available in your choice of Quad Round, Quad Oval and Speed Way Exhaust tips. These tips are all manufactured from the highest quality polished stainless steel for a beautiful and aggressive visual finish that will match your vehicle's new found tonal and performance benefits.

If you have a stingray with the NPP which exhaust option is the loudest with the lease drone? Also will the drive modes that are in the car still accessible without any check engine lights coming on? Also any shops in south florida that you recommend for installing your products?

If you want to keep the NPP function you'll need the Fusion. If you want a traditional single-mode style exhaust I think the PRT is a great way to get a powerful tone without making potentially uncomfortable amounts of drone.

Check engine lights won't be an issue. If you go with the Fusion you'll connect the new actuators and as far as the car's computer is concerned you'll be good to go. If you go with the Bullet or PRT systems you'll want to leave the factory actuators connected but tied up out of the way for the same result.

As for installation, basically any reasonably competent muffler shop could do the job. It's a straightforward bolt-on installation.

No reason why it would. Anything to do with moving/removing catalytic converters would be a concern but that's not the case when we're just talking about the rear section.
