Default Exhaust

I have an 08' Corvette with the factory exhaust that opens up over 3000 RPMs. It's like the Z06's mild-to-wild package. I've heard there is a way to jump the fuse and be able to leave the exhaust open all the time which would make the car sound great. just need some help figuring out how, or if someone could just point me in the right direction.

Just pull the fuse and stash it in the ash tray.

Look in your owner's manual. It shows which fuses protect which circuits.

Bottom right fuse will do it, see the instructions on my sire www.nakidparts.com. Add a wireless switch and you get full open/close at the push of a button

Mild 2 Wild is the way to go! I leave mine open ALL the time. Sounds Great! 5 minute install.

I have the M2W unit. Around town I leave the exhaust open but traveling out on the highway, I close it, as the drone will give you a headache.

Isn't pulling a fuse easier, and usually takes less than 5 minutes.

Yeah but then if you want it to be quiet again then you have to pull over and pop the fuse back in. Plus with the M2W you get the cool little remotes that you can play tricks on your friends with.

Trust me, if you have the NPP option, You NEED to go to http://www.nakidparts.com/ and order your M2W switch. It a blast to use and the best mod ever IMO. Or you can pm sonofdreams for more info. Even if you do not have the NPP option you can still get the NPP in a box kit.
I choose the "old school" that installs in the dead pedal for easy access and love it!

I have no affiliation what so ever to this vendor, I am just one of many satisfied customers.

pulling the fuse will work but when you have it out and the wife is in the car with you, stopping to put the fuse back in because she doesn't like the noise is somewhat humiliating get the M2W switch and have the best of both worlds - noise when you want it and no noise when the wife demands it
