Not cheap, but the controller and a used NPP exhaust should still be lower cost than an aftermarket exhaust.

I had this controller installed on mine and it works just like the factory NPP system with the integration.

I purchased used NPP from forum member 2 years ago, installed by Midas (no hassle) and am happy with no control. Considering "fix" shown on forum which allows partial closing (not variable) with 1 1/2" angle bracket ($5.00). Different sizes would allow different % of closing and could be easily changed for long trips, etc.

Was installing the control a simple plug and play?

Were any configurations needed and were any warnings thrown after install?

I purchased an NPP exhaust from a guy and i'm thinking about purchasing the control kit next.

So when you installed this controller, does it open the valves when you switch the mode control to sport just like the factory installed npp exhaust?
