Default Mild to wild kit

I already have the Z06 mufflers installed with muffler mod, will I have any problems installing the mild to wild kit with the exhaust fully installed? I know I should have done it when the mufflers were off but didn't...

No one has installed NPP in a box with the exhaust already on the car?

My Z06 mufflers were already installed before I did the NPP in the box. Get the NPP in the box because it has everything you need for complete installation, including two remote controls.

Seeing as how gains from aftermarket exhausts produce little to no HP, I can't think that the opening/closing of the flaps will do much with relation to the tune. I wouldn't lose any sleep over it myself.

I finished installing the nakidparts mild to wild controller with the mufflers already installed. The biggest PIA was removing the T-fitting on the back of the engine. I even had my little skinny wife come out and try to twist it off with her little hands...lol. After about an hour of trying to get it off I decided to take the advice of a member on here and duck tape a utility knife to a nut driver and cut it off...believe me it was still a b****! So after I got it off it went really smooth, about a half an hour to route everything and run power to it.
My impressions are....I love it! I recently got Z06 mufflers with the muffler mod, and although I love the sound it does drone on the highway. With the remote you flip it off and it is just like stock...very cool and pretty easy minus the T-fitting!!!

I went to the canyons today and I love the exhaust note. It does drone on the highway but I don't care.
