Default NPP sounds pretty good with video now

I had never heard my Vette from outside the car. A buddy did a short clip as I was leaving my driveway and it sounds great.

Thanks, Glen. I did have Photobucket but haven't used it in a long time. The car does sound pretty good, IMO.

Love the sound... especially on start up! Never fails to raise eyebrows and put smiles on faces. I leave my NPP on track setting all the time!

I'm one who thinks the C7 sounds too tame. Having had a C6 with LT headers, looks like I will need to go that way on the C7 as well to get the sound I want.

I know there is a Corsa and a Borla kit for the C7 but if's I'm going to spend that kind of cash, I'll put it towards LT's.

Your definitely right NPP is way to quiet.I had B&B put on mine.Sounds good.Next will be headers.Understand they won't make it any louder
But will change the way it sounds.

Do any of you remember the sound of the factory exhaust from a '67 - '74 Firebird 400, Formula 400 / 455, or Trans Am? At idle those cars sounded as wicked as any car I've ever heard. The Stingray with NPP sounds eerily similar.

The exhaust does sound good and I for one really like the Lime Rock Green color.

I love how you can tell exactly when he shifted. Wonder if one could tell in an auto trans if using the paddles.

I agree, NPP sounds very good for stock. I added a Corsa double helix X-pipe and it takes it to the next level. Pulled Fuse 41 and just let the music ring
