I have a 2011 Grand Sport with standard exhaust. I'm saying it's standard because there are no actuators on top of the tailpipes and no valves visible inside the tailpipes. I have noticed that around 3500 rpms she really starts to sound good. Assuming I'm correct, and it is a standard, is there a good way to "wake-up" my Vette. Would just changing the mufflers to flomaśter or flowmax or to some other brand do the trick? What about electric cut ours?

I have NPP on my 2008, I really like it. I usually have it open around town driving, but on the highway, I close it. My wife thinks its too noisy out on the road when traveling. A small price to pay for her letting me get a vette

Also with NPP both exhaust "tips" come directly out of the mufflers instead of that silly "Y" pipe from one to two.

It really sounds good with headers and high flow cats. She will never know you have them in "quiet mode" either.

I have the NPP exhaust w/Mild to Wild switch that I keep in the console. Really nice setup. Loud when I want, and soft for cruising.

I have a set of NPP exhaust if you're interested. LG longtubes to the exhaust tips. Let me know if you're interested.
