That just sounds funny.

You keep talking about the $1,200 you saved that will go to your next Corvette. I suggest that a potential buyer, given the choice of two identical cars but one with NPP and one without, will not choose yours without you lowering your asking price.

From what I have read in 2014 engine sound management had either an off or on choice. In 2015 there was a group of choices of which stealth was one of the choices rather than just on.

It is a former Bondurant school car, he bought at auction, I don't believe it was upgraded.
NPP was first offered in 2008. 2006 and 2007 Z06s came standard with a performance exhaust system but that system was not offered on non-Z06 Corvettes.

I'll ask.

What paint do you use to paint the mufflers?
