Default Mild 2 Wild Switch

I'm looking into purchasing a C6 with NPP and was looking for a Mild to Wild switch WITHOUT the remotes.
I remember a guy advertising on here a vendor had one where there was an off and on rocker switch which is what I'm looking for. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

You can build one pretty easy with just parts from autozone. Just need a switch, some wire and an add a fuse circuit. Heres a quick write up.

If you look to the upper right of the cigarette lighter you can see the the installation of an on/off switch. It is the controller of my home made mild-to-wild system for the car's NPP exhaust. Moving the switch up opens the muffler's butterfly valves all the time and moving the switch down returns the system as to how Chevrolet made the car. If I close the ash-tray door the switch is not visible. Less the $10 involved to make it... Al

Replaced my remote controlled exhaust switch with an l.e.d. latching switch. Doesn't take much as a simple switch of pretty much any style will work.

Whats the issue with having a remote? I found a 3D
printed remote holder that replaces the ashtray. It was a perfect fit….I sanded it down, painted it and labeled it C for closed-O for open…..but I need to resand it to be a bit smoother. I think it was about $30 or $40.

I had the remotes before and I didn't care for the remotes. I think the off-on switch method is better for me.

A concealable button/switch is so much better than the janky remote. How often do you have a need to change the exhaust when you are outside the car??

No doubt about it. I had the dead pedal on the floor one, just tap it with your foot on or off and your done. No body knows it's there.

I did not like the remote either, potential to lose it, batteries ect. Mounted all this stuff in a way i can close the ashtray door and hide it. But i love it, got a fuse adaptor just plugged right in and works great.

I believe its ICT, company in Germany. Its all over Ebay but had to order from them directly to customize the color of the insert, the LED color, the bezel and the stitching on the boot.. Same price as Ebay takes a few weeks to ship but you do get to customize.

Really nice ****, i love it. The wiring was a bit trickey to get right without snags but looks great in the dark. Also it doesn't twist on, mounts up with set screws isnt "great" mounting has come loose on me a few times, absolutely needs some Loctite.
