With NPP closed it is too quiet and I don't like having m2w switch full open all the time. The collars limit how much the valve can close when switched to the closed position. They stay open about 1/4 way when closed and function normally otherwise.

I put a switch in the car that overrides the NPP by cutting the power to it. When I want it a little louder, I just flip the switch. Cost me like $10 for the switch and relay.
Thanks for saying that, I will eventually get the LTH with cats though, and hopefully the sound is what I want along with increased power
