Magnetic question
I'm looking at a 2014 Z51 out of state and the dealer, not GM, doesn't know how to tell me if the car has Magnetic ride control or multi mode exhaust. How would I tell them to look? I'm a C5er and am clueless. No invoice no build sheet. Thanks.

They need to pull back the carpet in the rear passenger side, by the battery and check the RPO codes. I believe it should be FE4 for mag ride on 2014.
I was looking at some used vehicles the past few months, and I ask the dealers if it has mag ride and they say yes. I ask them to send me a pic of the RPO codes, and nope.....didn't have it.

NPP exhaust has all the tips together, while non NPP exhaust has smaller tips and an obvious gap between pipe 2 and pipe 3.
Magnetic shocks have wires coming out of them when you peek under the hood. There are pictures here if you search.
Hope this helps. Good luck! I had a C5 and a C6 and can tell you that the C7 is 1000 times better than either of my previous Vettes.

Here is a picture of the drivers side front magnetic ride shock absorber with the wire attached to it.

Yep, ask for a pic of the Service Parts Identification sticker, it looks like this, and its in the back near the battery.
This vehicle is a 3LT Z51 7spd (vin# starting 1G1YL) with dual mode (NPP) and magnetic ride (FE4).
