Default What does NPP stand for?

I know it's a bi-mode exhaust system, but what does it stand for?

It doesn't stand for anything. It's just an RPO code like 1LT, Z51, F55.

As was indicated it isn't an abreviation, it is an RPO code. It doesn't stand for anything than whatever the marketing person that came up with the code was thinking at the time.
