Sitting in church on a Sunday morning when they had the windows cracked open. Just saying, in my opinion driving around with the fuse pulled on your NPP exhaust is not something a considerate adult should do. Of course every morning I'm awakened by all the high school kids cutting through my neighborhood with their rice rockets equipped with automatic transmissions and fart can exhausts. But I don't expect mature behavior from high schoolers, after all they are still children, not that many years removed from pooping in their diapers.

One man's noise is another man's music. I commend GM for trying to improve the weak sound of the stock Corvette but I think the open NPP exhaust still sounds way too tame. Pull the fuse and don't take grief from anyone....enjoy the improved sound quality of the car. You're right....it isn't very loud at all.

I have a built 12:1 LS7, headers, X pipe, off road no cats, and a switch for the exhaust. It's usually in the loud mode, but when I get into residential neighborhoods I switch back to quiet mode. Also, the drone at freeway speeds will make your ears bleed, so it's quiet mode then. There is no way I would operate it without the fuse, loud all the time. Just saying.

My open NPP seems like a Toyota Prius compared to the loud Harley motorcycles roaring through my neighborhood, and is quieter than our city buses. I wonder if some of these forum complainers are the same ones who install sound insulation under the carpet, to completely disconnect themselves from the experience of driving a sports car. I'm pleased to learn that the NPP switch will be factory installed on the new C7, and will have more than one adjustment setting.
