NPP question
I'm sure this has been asked but the search came up with too many topics to sift through.
Can NPP be added to an 06 and work exactly like stock (no remotes, buttons,etc)?
I just want to be able to mash the pedal and it works.

If you get the right controller, sure.
I have a 2006, and the "NPP in a box" controller. I open and close mine with my Homelink visor garage door opener controller.
I have LG 1-7/8" SuperPro Headers, high-flow cats, and NPP mufflers.
Here is a video, with them open and then closed.

"if you get the right controller, sure."
The factory NPP system will automatically open the valves at about 3,500 rpm, and automatically close them as the RPM drops off. If desired, you can also install a separate override switch to open them at any time.
I was under the impression that most retrofits had only the manual operation, not the automatic.
Exhaust experts will set one of us straight pretty soon...

No and 06 requires some form of manual switch.

You can do it, but it gets reeeeeally expensive.
Go talk to your local Chevy dealer about price, then come back here and ask about alternative methods to do nearly the same thing.

In order to add NPP to a car that didn't come with it from the factory you will need to first get the NPP mufflers, then use a NPP retrofit kit to be able to control them.
The Exhaust Commander Elite NPP retrofit kit can operate like a factory NPP car, and open with a set RPM. Or you can choose to have full open and full closed modes also.
Check out the video!
Here is our Exhaust Commander Elite NPP retrofit kit.
It includes all the vacuum lines, wiring, vacuum solenoid, and controller that will make the NPP exhaust operate.

We help many people add NPP to C6's that didn't come with it from the factory.
If you need any additional info let us know.

It has a user selectable rpm opening mode!

You select the RPM that you want it to open the butterflies automatically at.
Then when your engine reaches that RPM the butterflies will open automatically, just like the factory cars do.
Well, actually better than the factory cars, because you select the rpm they open at and have total control over the operation of the system.

Looks like Sunset kit could make it work exactly like it does from the factory, plus you can set the rpm at which it opens to something other than the factory setting of 3500 rpm if you want. So Sunset is actually better/more flexible than the factory option.
