Default ZO6 exhaust help

I put a ZO6 exhaust on my C6 and of course it didnt come with the stock vacuum stuff to operates the flaps. Aside from wiring them shut, it there a different kit other than buying the stock vacuum set up to operate the flaps? I thought i seen something on here a few month back, but i couldnt find it using the search button.

I just added the same exhaust to my car. I highly recommend the controller that Ed at Nakidparts sells. http://www.nakidparts.com/id78.html

Easy quick install and works great. Ed is tops in customer service as well!

I did the same with my C6. I took the vacuum chambers off, and replaced it with an althread thumb screw with two lock nuts. so you can leave it open or closed, but you manually have to loosen the linkage to change it. There wasn't much drone, so I left mine full open. but I am looking at the Mild to Wild set up as well. just wish there was a better price for it.

I'm using the pipedreams set up on mine. I programed my homelink buttons to open and close the valves.

I used Nakidparts NPP in a box kit. Installation was unbelievably simple and fast even for an idiot like me. Now I just press a button on a remote, two are included in the kit, to open or close the valves. Great product!
