Wow! If I ever buy an exhaust system, this is the one I want. Thanks for sharing Phil. It appears to be plug n play bolt on too.

Finished the installation today. Took it for a drive and happy to report no drone and the sound is much deeper than the Corsa. Here are a few photos.

Very Clean Phil....always thought the Billy Boat fit the rear cut outs in the rear number Better than Corsa but went for the no drone option years ago

Looks fantastic!

Is this a new offering? I cant seem to find it on their site.

BBE used their newest round design fusion mufflers. Billy said the round muffler provided better sound attenuation for its size than the previous oval version which enhanced the quiet/loud "split personality" of the overall system.

Thanks Phil. A little bit like my setup on the '95 with a stock exhaust and Quick Time electric cutouts in that they are driver controlled with a switch in the cockpit, albeit electric not vacuum operated. --Bob

Great Job as always, nothing but calculated performance & perfect execution in the pursuit of it

If you look closely at the muffler photos, this is a radically different design from previous Fusions. The valved or "loud" side is a straight thru pipe. Bypasses the muffler, equivalent to exhaust cut-outs. Anxious to hear and see how it performs.
