Default npp exhaust fuse removal

if I remove the fuse to keep the exhaust open at all times, will it cause the check engine light to come on or any other problems?

I ran mine without the fuse for months and I did not have any problems!

I don't think so. The only effect you might see is excessive droning at around 1500 RPM. Some people like it, I don't, and that is why I got the mild-to-wild switch from pipedreams.

No probs...Kerbeck actually suggested it to me. They pulled it BEFORE the test drive.

Peace, out.

Spend the few dollars on the mild-to-wild switch. I found out there were times I wanted the quiet.

ZERO problem except you will love the sound out your exahust now, you might want to add a switch so you can set them back to stock when needed, I developed these over 2.5 yrs ago www.nakidparts.com

Default npp

I pulled the fuse when the headers were installed. Headers and high flow cats make the exhaust sound even better and louder. Wouldn't go back and reinstall the fuse for anything. Let the LS3 breath and be loud.

I haven't had problem but the lower RPMs drone can be somewhat bothersome.
