NPP question on 08
I have an 08 that did NOT come with the NPP exhaust, came with the standard quiet one. I'm looking to get an NPP, I know with the 05-07 you had to use the "NPP in a box" to get it to work, my question is.. Do I need the NPP in a box since 08s were technically designed for it, or do I just need the mufflers?

Looks like it CAN be done, it's just not cost effective.

Not sure how you figure that....The option from the factory is 1199.00 You know you can pick up everything you need for 1099.00 and it should not cost much more than 100-150 for any muffler shop to install. To me it seems very cost effective if you want the control NPP offers.

PUSH - take a look at the C6 parts for sale. If no luck, try one of the famous auction sites. I bought a pristine set of Z06 mufflers and cat back pipes for $312 at fleabay. Then the NPP in a box and exactly $100 at my favorite perf exhaust shop. Do THAT math and it is cost effective. Which ever way you go, I bet you love the NPP/Z06 style sound and control over that sound. I had Magnaflow and could NOT adjust to the drone at cruise speeds. Good luck!

I bought the mild to wild from Ed, he was also kind enough to install it.
I paid $760 for a set from E-bay, new off of a LS3 that upgraded to an after market set up. Can't understand the mentality of that. Have the best of both worlds and sound that can't be duplicated in open mode and then go after market
CRAZY..
And one more thing the Z-06 mufflers are a nice alternative, however the LS3 NPP has a much more aggressive sound in open mode than the Z-06, that is a fact.

Yeah, z06 wont be loud enough for me. I mean they may if/when I get LTs but that wont be for a while. Gonna do intake/exhaust/lowering and call it done for a while. (I say this now) haha
