Does anyone use Mild to Wild with NPP?
Had it on my 13 GS and mainly left it wide open. The new GS I think, is controlled pretty well by the driving mode setting. Sport is pretty loud without being obnoxious. If you have it, do you use it or would you rather have saved your money?
Also, since the fuse is under the hood on my 17GS, where do you mount the box?

I crank my dd '14 NPP C7 up at 4:30 AM so I use the M2W to immediately silence it and spare my neighbors as I pull away from my house. My remote transceiver is mounted on the fender well just next to the fuse box.

Go to the RPI web site. Find and click on the C7 mild 2 wild. They have a video on the install.
Pulling the fuse is easy only not as convenient as hitting a button when you want to quiet it down while driving.

M2W allows you to control the valves in the NPP from the car while driving. Tough to pull/insert the fuse at 70 on the interstate.
I call it the "wife" switch. When she's in the car, M2W quiet, by myself, M2W loud.
So, I have the Borla and the M2W.

I installed M2W on my 2016 Z51. Well worth the cost. Gives you total control over the exhaust at the flick of a button. Hardest part of the 10 minute installation was getting the fuse box cover to close!!

I have an X pipe and pulled fuse 42. Cold starts are loud but once warm it isn't loud to me. Wife doesn't mind the noise when we are driving and I asked the neighbors if my car was loud and not a single complaint. Once I get some longtubes I will likely invest in M2W however as it will be significantly louder.

I have M2W installed, and I essentially only use it to close the valves in one circumstance, which is highway cruising. With the fuse pulled, there is an annoying (to me) drone when cruising in 6-7th gear (M7), below 2K rpms. Thus, I can highway cruise in Tour, hit M2W to close the valves, and no more drone.
Other than waking up your next-door, neighbors or family at 0-dark-thirty, that's the only downside of pulling the fuse.

Decided to pull fuse 42 on my '18. I also drive in Track most of the time, never less than Sport. Like the firmer steering, and don't have the selectable suspension, so excess wear on the road isn't a consideration. Find the exhaust to be very sporting, not at all annoying, and a bit too quiet at idle while driving. Started it with the remote to see what it sounds like at startup--in Sport. Very nice. But then, I had Bullets on my '13 and '06, so loud is relative. I do find the NPP has a better tone than the Bullets which was a pleasant surprise. Not so much NASCAR as the old World Sportscar racing.
