C5 Mild to Wild?
Does anyone know of something similar to a mild to wild switch for the C5z? I want to keep the stock Ti exhaust and mufflers, so I'm hoping to find something like a wirelessly controlled valve to open up somewhere in the exhaust and let the straight sound through. I searched the forum and couldn't find anything, forgive me if its been covered.

QTP or DMH low profile. I have had my DMH's for 6 years now. 4 year unlimited warranty.
These are DMH's in the video.

I want to say 300 somethin. I bought them directly from Dave at DMH but I think some vendors here sell them? Might have some deals going on here....

I really like the idea of using cutouts. I like it quiet when traveling a distance and don't like the drone, and I like it loud when I want to have fun and listen to a V8 vs a radio. I have heard that these actually reduce horsepower as the exhaust is virtually unrestricted with NO back pressure. is this true? Thanks guys.

There's been a lot of debate about that. Basically, I think on a stock car you'll loose a few hp, but with mods, especially forced induction, its been shown to add 5-10 HP on a dyno. But then you run into the whole debate about how accurate is a dyno, and can you chalk up a few HP to mods or to margin of error? I decided a few HP doesn't really matter, if you want the sound go for it.

I went to DMH around the same time. They have been great. They are also about 1/2 the price of any c5 catback. So I have my quiet time with the Z06 Ti on, and can be wide open with the cutouts.
