New 3" Exhaust Installation - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Jagdpanzer · 07-25-2020

After many years running 2.5" Corsa exhaust decided it was time to upgrade the 427 to a larger 3" system. I talked to Billy Boat at BBE and their Fusion exhaust system with a bypass valve looked the way to go. Main requirement was it had to absolutely drone free which Billy promised it would be.
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 nice and meticulous work as always. If you weren't all the way across the country I'd buy the Corsa from you.

Phil,

Judging by the sparkling underbody, do u actually drive the car? 🤣🤣

Hans,
Thank for the compliment.

Dom,
It's a driver.
Just carful to stay away from the mud puddles.

Phil, under what conditions do the bypass valves open? Are they vacuum operated or electric? Curious--Bob

Driver decides if wants them open or closed.
Valves are vacuum actuated. System is controlled by remote key fob with on/off buttons. Vacuum signal is controlled by a solenoid valve. Valves are normally open so if the control system fails the valves automatically open.
