Default Adding Mild to wild to C7!

I have the NPP exhaust installed on my factory non NPP C7. I have the motors/ controllers and now the 2 little 10.00 circuit's needed came today to make them work. I have the wiring figured out to do this in the next
few hours. By tonight I should have pictures and instructions maybe a sound video
of the mild to wild in action to share!
Hope it all works this a 3rd attempt! Wish me luck!

Good luck! I have an NPP axle back exhaust in perfect shape with only 1500 miles on it if any one else follows up on this!

Proving tough to get the actuators to work. I add the pulse circuit but still have not found the answer!

Why not just go to Config on the Home menu screen, then Engine Sound Management, and turn off "Auto".

You have now opened the valves in every driver mode at every rpm level. No need to wire anything additional.

I believe he is adding the NPP system to a car that didn't come from the factory with NPP, therefore needing to run the wiring and can't do as suggested above. Plus even when turning it off as suggested on a NPP car the valves still close and have an obnoxious "tip in" that some of us would like to avoid. For now we're pulling fuse 41, but once I get the headers on being able to open and close how I want (like the C6) would be a better alternative.
