Today I pick up a pair of npp mufflers for my 07 from a very nice gentleman on craiglist. Got my npp in a box on order but was thinking about installing the mufflers and running it open until my box get in.

I'm not sure is though I'm seeing a question here.

Are you asking if you should just install the mufflers now and run them open before the NPP in a box gets there? If so, I suppose there's no harm in doing it. You'll eventually have to install the mufflers anyway.

I have NPP and M2W. I leave mine open. I just can't seem to make myself close them.

I hear ya...

I only push that M2W remote button when my wife's in the car.

Or, when I'm driving through my community at 5 am.

That M2W kit may be the best, and least expensive mod I ever made, on any car, I've ever owed.

No need for a switch, keep them open so it sounds like a sports car! Pulled my fuse out 3 years ago.

I would do it without hesitation. Ever since I bought my car with NPP I've had the fuse out. I can't seem to find a reason to ever put it back!

Took out my fuse... I wish I knew what it sounded like I can't get my wife to drive the car down the block so I can hear what it sounds like from the outside.

Nope, that's not for me.

When I'm traveling for extended periods, (an hour or more), on the highway, I don't much care for that mono-tone drone.
I'd prefer it nice and quiet.

A few months ago, I drove 1,600 miles to the Smoky Mountains and back from South Florida.
If I didn't have the M2W capabilities, I would have had to re-install the fuse.

As they say, too each his own.

There are some guys here who would tell you to get another wife.

When you say you're waiting for, "the box", I assume your talking about the M2W kit?

That's what I have, and it works beautifully. Photo below shows where I mounted the remote control.

Some guys just bought an SPDT switch from radio shack, and installed it in the dead pedal, or console.
That works fine, and accomplishes the same thing, but makes it impossible to open/close the exhaust butterflies from outside the car, at the rear, so you can actually check on their operation.

Good luck with yours...

I love the sound of the pure exhaust….that said, on a long interstate run, I hit the m2w switch and turn up the music!

Sweet! I'm picking up a pair of the NPP mufflers on Saturday. Where did you order your NPP in-a-box from? I need to get one on order right away.

Anybody know if it's more difficult to install the NPP in-a-box with the mufflers installed?
