New 3" Exhaust Installation
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. IMG_0917.JPG IMG_0919.JPG IMG_0920.JPG IMG_0921.JPG Sent from my iPhone using ZR-1 Net Registry

Re: New 3" Exhaust Installation
Very nice and meticulous work as always. If you weren't all the way across the country I'd buy the Corsa from you.

Re: New 3" Exhaust Installation
Phil, under what conditions do the bypass valves open? Are they vacuum operated or electric? Curious--Bob

Re: New 3" Exhaust Installation
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. Sent from my iPhone using ZR-1 Net Registry
