C7 Corvette Billy Boat Exhaust Systems

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.

Hi guys, please let us know any questions you might have...we know Billy Boat better than anyone except Billy and Mike :-)

Motohead279

Any real sound clips of the 3 systems with the car under load?

PARANORMAL

Nice tips!!!!
Looks much better than stock

southerncarparts

We will post those up soon.

SASprof

When will Borla's C7 products be available?

southerncarparts

We are not sure, but we will do sound clips for a bunch of systems.

Edward Weaver

I have a std 2014 Coupe with std. exhaust. If the C7 Corvette Billy Boat Bullet PRT w/Round Tips were installed on my car would it work with the various mode changes from the selector like the NPP system does? Also where would I get this work done since I live in Medford, NJ?

southerncarparts

These work with your car that does not have NPP, but you won't be able to change modes. They be open, like the mufflers on your car from the factory. Any muffler shop or dealer can install them.

ronvenna

Looking for a higher pitched exhaust system sounding more like a Ferrari. Which would be the best system for that type of sound?

southerncarparts

I would suggest the PRT system. Bullet would be much louder.

OddJob1971

So how would the bullet kit work on a NPP car? I understand there are no valves but won't that throw a bunch of codes on the car when they are disconnected? I'm interested in getting some but need to know how that will work.

southerncarparts

The NPP has two sets of actuators. The Bullet does use the first set of actuators that controls economy mode (4 cylinder cut out). All you would do then is disconnect the rear bi-modal actuators.

Edward Weaver

My C7 is the non Z51 M7 coupe 2LT without NPP, just the standard exhaust. I am assuming my system still has the actuators for controlling the eco mode, but not the rear valving that changes with modes switching.

What are my options with your systems?

southerncarparts

You can use the Bullet or the PRT system. The Bullet is louder, more aggressive. The PRT is louder than stock, and doesn't have any drone at all. If you are looking for a great sounding system and like to have a nice conversation in the cockpit, the PRT is for you. If you are looking for loud and aggressive, you'd like the Bullet.

Patriot77

Can you please do a video/audio of the "PRT Bullet"???? My guess is that most folks would be more interested in that one than the OEM one. What does the PRT Bullet one cost??? Thank You. I appreciate it.

southerncarparts

We're definitely going to do a PRT video in the next few months, just not sure when yet exactly. I really like having the A-to-B comparison you get with some of these videos, and I think the more information we can provide about the systems the easier it can be for our customers to decide what's best for them.

WOW. Thats sounds amazing.

ronvenna

Thinking about purchasing the PRT system. Can you please post a sound clip or video of it? Thanks.

ronvenna

Would the sound be comparable to the C6 PRT? Also does the exhaust when installed look like the NPP exhaust?
