Default NPP install

I have an 09 base with previous NPP exhaust, apparently someone sold them and replaced with Flowmasters. The sound is great but drone is killer. I am looking at going back to NPP, however will I need a new vacuum kit or can I just do the Mild to Wild kit?

I do not think the NPP was available as an option for the base 2005 - 2009 models. Likely you will be starting from scratch.

It was available 2008-2013. If the original vacuum lines and rear solenoid are still in place, just hook up the vacuum lines to the mufflers and go

You could always research keeping your aftermarket exhaust and see if an X-pipe and/or resonator tubes would get rid of the drone.
