B&B C5 Fusion 'Bi-Modal' Exhaust System, C5 Corvette & Z06
Want a great stainless steel exhaust for your Corvette that's agressive when you want it and conservative when you don't?
MarylandSpeed is proud to offer the C5 Fusion Bi-Modal Exhaust System from Billy Boat Performance Exhausts.
What is bi-modal exhaust?
The Fusion is a bi-modal exhaust system, meaning it has two passages or modes, that the exhaust can travel through the muffler. Each of the mufflers have two outlets. One side having a butterfly type valve allowing the exhaust flow to be shut off, regulating which side of the muffler the flows exhaust. One side of the muffler is the “quiet” side and one side is the “loud” side. The “quiet” side is a smaller, muffled and chambered tube, while the “loud” side is 3” tubing straight through.
How loud is it?
Through our development and customer feedback we learned that customers love the bold, aggressive sound of our classic "Bullet" exhaust system for the C5. The development team at Billy Boat Performance Exhaust has now taken all we have learned from the development of the Z06 and C6 Fusion systems and applied it to the C5. This sytem uses the basic design of the "Bullet" system with a bi-modal muffler, butterfly, and vacuum valve, which give the driver a choice in the overall sound level. The “loud” side of the muffler has a tone similar to the famous Bullet system. In the closed position the tone would be slightly louder than the standard Route 66 system.
What controls the valves?
The butterfly is controlled by a vacuum valve, 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. Since the C5 has no option for the valve, we use the same vacuum kit and control as the C6 without NPP. Our expertise here at B&B is getting the “tone” right for your Corvette, and we think we nailed this one. In the closed position, the tone is agresssive, but substantially quieter than the standard Bullet system. Open the valves, the overall volume and tone increases to the point of the classic Bullet exhaust tone.
Will they bolt up to my stock H pipe or my stock headers?
Each part of the system will fit to a stock H-pipe or the stock headers. The parts can be mixed and matched (rear exhaust, x-pipe, and long tube headers) For best performance it is recommended to use the long tube headers, the Billy Boat x-pipe, and the C5 Fusion.
Billy Boat has combined the best of the Bullet exhaust with the best new technology to give you the Fusion System for your Corvette. The muffler tips are double walled, 4" round or 4.5" oval. The mufflers and tips come completely polished and the result is a truly spectacular look combined with an aggressive sound will have heads turning everywhere you go.
All B&B products are precision built in rugged fixtures, completely TIG welded, and are a direct replacement for stock exhaust components and include all hardware and gaskets. No machining, no cutting and no welding means easy installation. We provide the perfect mix of performance, sound and style your Corvette . Each Billy Boat Performance Exhaust system is backed by a lifetime warranty against rust, corrosion or burn through and 2 full years against defects in materials or workmanship.

Man, that is nice. B&B has really up'ed their game with this. Great set up but I agree with the rest of you very pricey. LOL I was not expecting that price tag from a B&B system. Now if it were Titanium,,,,,worth every penny!

I've had 3 other exhaust on my car, and this is by far my favorite. I wish it was a full 3" but it still seems to flow plenty at 600+ at the wheel. Great sound and quality! It's worth the money when comparing it to the other C5 exhaust options.
