Curious... How many have actually replaced your exhaust with aftermarket or just bought the mild to wild switch? Thanks

My car is running Kooks long tube headers and full Corsa exhaust. It runs great but it is LOUD! I'd prefer it to be a little quieter when just driving around and some tracks have noise restriction that I'm sure I'd be in violation of.

Since you are in Houston, you are welcome to meet me at some point to go for a ride and determine if the exhaust on my car is too much for your goals.

pulled the fuse, ARH 1 7/8 headers, offroad x into stock mufflers, sounds amazing

I like corsa so that might be an option for swapping mufflers in the future

I just did the foot switch version of M2W on stock exhaust. It is nicely quiet with the switch off and with the switch on it sounds like uh old, loud truck.

I ran a M2W on my first ZR1. Loved how it growled when opened, but was nearly silent when closed. My 2nd ZR1 came with Akras and it's pretty loud. Even with 2 pipes closed it's noticeable, but not bad. When opened up with the M2W it's nuts loud under load around 1400-1500 rpm and actually shakes the car. I can't even imagine the same mufflers and full lengths, let alone what Whatcop is running

I went with the Akra's and they are a great sounding exhaust but a little too much drone for me so I went back to just the M2W.

So if you pull the fuse they default to open all the time?

Yes, but it drones like a bitch on the highway. I highly suggest a M2W switch because it's really inexpensive and then you can choose when they're open. I leave mine open all the time except for when I'm on the highway, and then I'm really glad I have the choice to just close them and there's no drone at all.

M2W here, it's how the car came! I leave it open almost all the time, it's too quiet when closed.

Agree 100%. A footswitch version of M2W (?) or you guys that have this built something on your own?
