Default NPP Issue

When I ordered the optional exhaust, I expected a mild to wild option menu.

There's not much difference at all when I change from mode to mode.

I ordered the 2LT M7 without the Z 51 package.

I have gone through the infotainment menu and switched the exhaust driving mode to "off", and this did not make a difference.

Hardly noticeable when it goes from eco-to sport.

Has anyone else had this issue?

Yours may be not working. I have a Z-51 with the NPP and there is a major difference between touring and sport/track modes.

Mine barks, backs off and sounds nasty when open. I would make sure your electric NPP exhaust is working.

You can tell if there working just by looking at the baffles in the rear. The two outer ones should open when in sport/track. The difference is definitely noticeable.

With the car on, be in sport/track mode and look at the exhaust tips. Is the baffle open or closed?

Here is a video of someone switching between the modes. You can tell the difference.

There's a slight difference. I guess I just thought it would be more dramatic. Definitely has NPP. I pulled both the left and right fuse, and that didn't make it louder either. I remember when I pulled the fuse on the Hertz rental Corvette convertible in 2010 and that was pretty raucous. Loved pulling up behind a slower car and dropping down 2 gears. The sound alone would have them scurrying out of the way!

Moral...Don't buy a rental!
