Default Which Bi-mode would you do?

I've purchased some Z06 NPP Mufflers to install on my 06 A4 Z51, now I need to figure out which kit to purchase to get the bi-mode working. I'm considering the "NPP in a Box" and "the NPP Retrofit Kit". Both are from site sponsors...anyone have any thoughts?

Thank You,
Ken

Either one will work well for you ---- but IF you want to have them open at a specified RPM, you'll want Sunset's version with the RPM option (well worth the money in my opinion).
I have mine set for only about 2,000 rpm and love just getting on the throttle even a little bit and have them open without going somewhere and have to hit a switch or button....LOVE it when passing on a two lane road...

I went with the NPP in a Box with the start mode, glad i got the start mode because at first i thought i would want it quiet most of the time with the option to open them up, but quickly realized just the opposite

Default NPP in a box

I bought a "NPP in a Box" kit- great product and outstanding service.
Easy to install and customer service has been fantastic. NPP in a Box works flawlessly.. My B&B Fusion loves it
You can't go wrong

Took some photos of my NPP in a box- located inside the quarter panel (didn't want to place the box inside the rear container).

I used the original NPP in a Box, and it was perfect. The install was easy, the components and construction are first rate, and years later it is still working perfectly. NPP in a Box was the original, and in my opinion is still the very best.

Ken, I too purchased the NPP Mufflers for my '06 and installed them with NPP in a Box. It was a pretty simple installation and am very happy with the results. I programmed two of the garage opener buttons on the sunvisor and control when to have the mufflers open or closed. Good luck.

NPP in a box for me. Sometimes I want to be able to spin it up to redline and be quiet doing it. Stealth mode as opposed to drawing attention from unwanted eyes.
