Default Mild to Wild controller - which one

I am purchasing an NPP exhaust off an 08 Vert to put on my O6 and I was going to install the mild to wild controller.

I noticed there are at least two forum members selling different kits and I was wondering what CF members who had purchased either one thought of them.

Any pros or cons of one versus the other?

The only real requirement I have is that I would love to operate the switch from the garage opener gear on my visor (I belive it's called Homelink). I think one kit does this, not sure about the other.

Also, any special concerns on mounting the box? Trunk vs under-the-car?

Tx in advance for your help.

Hard wire it to the fuse box. Although much less expensive, I would prefer that at twice the price.

I bought mine with a foot switch, easily installed on the dead pedal where older cars used to have the headlight dimmer.

Cheap, reliable, easy to reach, no fob to lose or battery to replace.

If you have a garage door opener, get one that you can program to the Lear on your visor.

I agree- Installed the visor controlled model to replace a MTW over 2 years ago. This is an excellent product and Ben was available when I had a problem programming.

The original Mild2Wild has a great and untouchable track record by any similar device that came after it's debut...the market facts show:

-Corvette museum installs it on new deliveries
- Macmulkin Chevy (forum vendor) installs it on every Z06 or car they sell with NPP
- Choice of Jay Leno and reviewed on his site
- FCC certified
- GM dealer certified
- Is the first controller developed in Sept 2006 and was developed with aid of GM engineers
- Used by Scott Dixon, an Indy 500 winner

I have had the NPP in Box in my 2006 C6 Coupe since it was introduced and it has been flawless to this day. Product quality, longevity and value is built in to all their products and they are backed with class leading customer service.....that's why you can't go to the Corvette Museum, a car show, or our forum vendors websites without seeing the Mild2Wild or any of the manufacturer's other great products!

You may want to consider an alternate mounting location for your control box.
