Two questions...
I searched "NPP and Dual mode exhaust" and did not find what I was looking for. Also searched "Memory system"--ditto on this issue.
On the NPP issue, I thought the valves opened and STAYED open in the sport and track settings. Seems they open but close at cruising speed.
Maybe I'm going deaf but was hoping it worked like the Mild to Wild unit worked on my C6. Am I missing something here?
On the memory bit, I have the seat and steering wheel set on the exit button but thought when I turned the car off they would automatically go to the exit position. Seems I have to push and HOLD this button before they retreat to the exit setting. Same upon entering, I have to push and HOLD the #1 setting to get my desired position. Was hoping it would be a one push deal.
Owners manual tells me nothing.
Do I live with it or do you gurus out there have a solution for me.

If you want the NPP exhaust to stay open, you have to disable the management system in the menu..
I just read about the memory settings, and it appears you do have to hold the button down until the seat stops, or the action is aborted.
Page 3-4
"If the vehicle is OFF, press and hold "1", "2" or Exit to manually recall the previously stored memory positions. Releasing the 1, 2 or Exit before the stored positions are reached stops the recall. "
If the vehicle is ON and in Park, or parking brake on for manual transmission, you can press and release the buttons to recall the stored positions.

Even when turned off under Engine Sound Management, NPP will STILL close under some conditions.
As for seat memory, much depends on whether you have the manual or auto (sucky I know but that's how it is).
In my manual, when I open the door, the seat goes all the way back, steering wheel moves out of the way, etc. When I enter the car, I push (and hold) the memory button until I can depress the clutch pedal far enough to start the car. I let go of the memory button at that point and once the car starts, push (and release) the memory button and everything sets the way the memory is stored

(If the vehicle is ON and in Park, or parking brake on for manual transmission, you can press and release the buttons to recall the stored positions) has never worked on my car.
With the software update, it will recall the memory positions when the start button is pushed. You do not have to push the clutch for this to work. This helps if you are someone like me that doesn't have long enough legs to push the clutch in with the seat all of the way back.
Originally, this feature was only available with the automatic.

Re: The seat question, the memory function needs to be set in the comfort and convenience menu under settings. You can program to activate both entry and exit settings on door open or close, or engine start or stop. Also be aware that there is a switch behind seat back that is intended to prevent overtravel. If your exit setting is all the way back, or you put things behind seat, it might keep memory function from operating correctly.

Im pretty new to my vette but I can tell you the NPP system is different than the C6 NPP. You can set the NPP on the C7 to stay open but there are a second set of valves farther up the exhaust system and it has to do with the V4 system. If your car is an auto and you go to manual mode the NPP system and V4 system will stay open from what I understand. Personally, I liked the C6 system so much better and do not care for the V4 setup at all.
As for the memory seats, mine are messed up too. Seems to be backwards. When I get in the car the seats and mirrors go to an adjustment that is all wrong and I have not sat down and read the manual yet for it.
