Default How to keep NPP always open

I tried to find it on the search but could not.

I remember reading that there was a place where you could select NPP off

I thought if you keep the car in sport or track mode it will keep the NPP open. I don't have a C7 so I can't personally confirm.

Track mode will keep it open but I don't want to be in Track all the time.

From GM Authority:

Engine Sound Management (ESM)- The setting, accessed through the C7′s touchscreen in the center stack, will allow the driver to set the note of the engine as heard in the cabin. The settings consist of Auto, Stealth, City, Tour, Sport, Track, and Off (for C7's with NPP).

For those without NPP, you can still control the middle exhaust valves by manually shutting it to 'Off'.

Easy enough but how do I get to 'engine sound management'. Maybe if I knew where the center stack is.

Under "Settings" from your home screen (press that house button first; see my pic above).

I have NPP and the options on my screen are the same as yours. Also, the owner's manual makes no mention of the settings that GM Authority has listed.

Yeah, GM deleted the others and only kept Auto and Off as the only 2 current user configurable modes for both NPP and non-NPP cars.

So I guess the only way to tell if you actually have NPP vs. non-NPP is to look in the tail pipes? (assuming you can't tell from listening, and you don't trust the build sheet)

NPP has 4" tips (trumpet style)... standard is 3" tips and has a gap between the pair.
