Lets see, we complained that the stock GoodYear tires made to much noise. The C7 has noise inner fender noise reducing linning. After listening to the video, Way to loud for me. Would probably disable the valves to remain closed. I have to see and hear the car before making up my mind.

With the C7 NPP you won't need anything like a M2W. The C7 exhaust is adjustable from the factory using the built in **** on the console.

Now if there is a way to get the loudest exhaust sound even in touring mode that would be the ticket. Otherwise I think it would be best to go with the stock exhaust and go to a Corsa Extreme or whatever they have for C-7. Just my.02
Someone can confirm but I believe it was mentioned that you can configure the exhaust however you want in any driving mode. That is, you can set the exhaust to "bad a$$" as the default setting. Maybe I'm wrong but I'm sure I read/saw that somewhere.

Yes sir. Fully customizable. Same with the other variables. For instance, you can set the steering feel to be the same for all modes, or change according to mode. Same with NPP.

Ya, cause road/tire noise is totally enjoyable to listen to

You cant compare "noise" to "sound". One is garbage, the other is able to be appreciated. Just get the base exhaust and keep it in tour mode, will sound just like the C6, i.e. a Prius with a V-8
