When I ordered mine two weeks ago they were being made to order so I'd guess you have the older version. To my knowledge, only Randy at Ragin Racin is currently running the new one and others who have ordered are waiting on them to come in. I am hoping to have mine next week. I was told it should ship by the end of this week to me.

thanks Jim
I called Billy Boat direct to ask them this question. The person that I talked to told me that the Gen III Fusion would work really well on my 2007 Z06. My conservatively tuned car makes 503 RWHP with a Super Bee MF103 and BIG KOOKS 1 7/8" headers. (no cats) I understand that BB is in the business of selling exhaust systems, but the guy on the phone said that "more air in and the more air out" will work really well with this new FUSION. Now, if they would just hurry up and build it.

To answer a lot of the questions that have been asked concerning the GenIII Fusion versus the GenII:

1 ) Yes, B&B will continue to produce the GenII. The GenIII is not a replacement for it and this is not just some example of "advertising" one until it's out of stock, the reason for this is that:

2 ) The stock headers, and the amount of airflow coming through the pipes on a stock Z06, will not provide enough airflow through the 3" muffler ports on the GenIII. Without this extra airflow, the GenIII fusion will find itself with unnecessary back-pressure forming in the pipes, as it's begging for more air that isn't there. What this means is that performance gains will actually be less, and sound volume will deteriorate as the air flow through the pipes thins out, and often times you'll get burble or burping in the exhaust sound - not something you generally want. Sure, you could run them on a stock, and they'll still sound nice, but not as nice as the GenII which is better suited mechanically for the stock Z06, and it's not something the mechanics over at B&B recommend. They have said, pretty clearly to us, that the GenIII is only intended for high high HP vehicles--it was originally designed as a bi-modal system for an 800+HP vette that wasn't getting enough flow through the GenII system, and we recommend the GenIII system for 700+ HP Vettes. If B&B said your 503HP Vette would utilize the system well, they're the manufacturers not us, we're just giving you the information they gave us in their marketing material package concerning this system. I imagine your vehicle will work with it because of your Kooks 1 7/8" non-catted headers, which are definitely pushing a ton of air flow back, and that set-up will definitely be a lot of fun!

3 ) It's not a difference of 3" piping the entire way through, as the GenII is a 3" also that goes to 2.5" just at the valve choke points. The system designed by GM is built in this same manner - 3" all the way from the collectors to the valve choke points at the mufflers where it chokes down to 2.5"

3 ) It is still in production, and we apologize for the wait. As soon as B&B has it available, we'll have it shipping out to those of you who have ordered and are waiting on the system. Thanks for your patience on this. We've got multiples on order with B&B and orders will be processed and shipped in the order which they were placed. We'll get yours to you as soon as possible.

If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask! We'll answer them to the best of our ability!

Thanks,
Matt

A couple people had asked about them, so we now offer and are taking pre-orders for the The Billy Boat Gen 3 Fusion Extreme Exhaust
. This new Fusion Extreme as some forum members have taken to calling it, or Gen III Fusion as Billy Boat will be officially titling it, is a great exhaust option for highly modified Corvettes that want to maintain a bi-modal exhaust.



Brand new from B&B, the Gen 3 Fusion exhaust is designed for Corvettes that produce big horse power (700+) and want an exhaust that is quiet with the flaps closed and screaming load with them open. The new Extreme Fusion /Gen 3 Fusion is designed with a full 3" system all the way through the NPP valve for max flow and HP. The Quiet side of the exhaust (with the flaps closed) is perfect for cars without cats or with a cam package because it has more noise cancelling properties that the regular B&B Fusion system reducing drone and noise. When the valves open, the cars is super loud and wild. Keep in mind, this system is only designed for High HP, highly modded Corvettes. If you Corvette is not highly modded, then you will want to stick with the standard C6 Z06 Fusion Exhaust.

This is a special order system and takes about 2-3 weeks to ship.



Did you know you stock Z06 exhaust is a 3" system that funnels down to 2.5" as it goes into the mufflers. This reduction in pipe size reduces flow and performance, limiting your Corvette Z06 from realizing its full potential. The B&B Fusion Gen III system is a full 3" system built with T-304 stainless steel. B&B uses only top quality materials with mandrel bends for maximum flow and performance. The system uses the PRT center muffler section for high exhaust flow and enhanced sound control, while the rear section is a 3" version of the B&B Bullet system, using an additional small resonated muffler at the back of the system.

Now available from Southern Car Parts: The Billy Boat Gen 3 Fusion Extreme Exhaust

Thanks,
Matt

Glad you guys like the B&B Exhaust systems! They're definitely one of the best companies out there for Corvettes, and few customers are ever upset with their products. Thanks for the orders and for the support!

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.

For the C6 Corvette, and especially the C6 Z06 and ZR1, the Billy Boat Fusion Exhaust is the undeniable favorite. This system has been so incredibly popular because it, like the stock NPP Exhaust system, is a true bi-modal 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.
The Fusion is also a brilliant exhaust because it allows for C6 Corvettes that did not opt for the NPP stock exhaust to upgrade to a complete bi-modal system. Billy Boat sells their Fusion with a complete bi-modal upgrade kit that comes with all of the necessary attachments to turn your single mode Corvette in to a vacuum controlled bi-modal machine.
The Fusion is available for all C6 Corvette models in various forms:
For 2005-08 C6 Corvettes the Billy Boat Fusion comes in a 2.5" system complete with full NPP set-up. Pricing and ordering information available here: C6 Corvette Billy Boat Fusion Complete Kit
For 2009 and newer C6 Corvettes without the stock NPP, the Fusion Exhaust is available with all necessary NPP set-up equipment as well. Pricing and ordering information available here: C6 Billy Boat Fusion Complete Kit
For 2009 and newer Corvettes that are already outfitted with the bi-modal NPP exhaust but want to upgrade over the stock mufflers, there is a Fusion Exhaust for you as well. Pricing and ordering information available here: C6 NPP B&B Fusion Exhaust
Finally, for Z06 and ZR1 C6 Corvettes, there is a 3" Billy Boat Fusion Exhaust for you as well to help you upgrade your restrictive stock mufflers to the more powerful and free-flowing Billy Boat alternative. Pricing and ordering information available here: C6 Z06 and ZR1 Fusion Exhaust







For some people, however, the bi-modal exhaust functionality is not ideal. If you're one of those people, then the very original and very clean straight-through exhaust design of the Billy Boat Bullet exhaust may be perfect for you. The Bullet is one of the most, if not the single most, aggressive exhaust systems on the market for the C6 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 C6 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 C6 Corvette, so is the Bullet.
For 2005-08 Corvettes check out the Billy Boat C6 Bullet Exhaust System.
For 2009 and newer base C6 Corvettes check the B&B Corvette C6 Bullet out on our website here.
For C6 Z06 and ZR1 Corvettes, you can find find pricing and ordering information for the Z06 and ZR1 Billy Boat Bullet exhaust here.




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.
For 2005-08 C6 Corvettes, check out our web listing on the Billy Boat C6 Corvette PRT Exhaust for more information and ordering.
For the 2009 and newer C6 Corvettes, check out the following listing for pricing and ordering information:Billy Boat Corvette PRT Exhaust.
If you drive a Z06 or ZR1 and this exhaust sounds ideal for you, check out the C6 Corvette Z06 and ZR1 B&B PRT Exhaust System.


Of course, Billy Boat doesn't stop with all of these options either. Each and every Billy Boat exhaust for the C6 Corvette is available in your choice of Quad Round and Quad Oval 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 Polished Stainless Steel isn't your bag, Billy Boat exhaust tips are also now available in hand-dipped Black Satin finish. This provides your Corvette with a very unique aftermarket appearance that, when coupled with an exhaust filler plate or panel, can make for a gorgeous offset look. They also look especially great on blacked-out C6 Corvettes going for the Bat-mobile style.

All Billy Boat Exhausts are also available with a Billy Boat X-Pipe. An aftermarket X-Pipe from Billy Boat will help increase exhaust flow even further by replacing the restrictive and archaic stock H-Pipe design. X-Pipes also work to even out exhaust flow and remove the Deceleration Popping noise that many Corvette owners know and dread. For information on Billy Boat X-Pipes please refer to our website, or give us a call at our office and we can make sure to get the perfect one for your needs.

If there are any other questions you may have about the Billy Boat systems above, or about any other Billy Boat product (or any product we carry here at Southern Car Parts) please do not hesitate to ask. Give us a call at our office at (770)919-1433 and we'll do our best to answer your questions and help you outfit your C6 Corvette as best as possible.
