How does the NPP work? Is it actually straight thru when open?

Computer controlled servos actuate the valves. It is straight-through a perforated pipe in the muffler when open.

How do you turn it on in a C7?. I have a 12GS and just ordered a C7 with NPP.

Unless you change from the default setting or pull the fuse, it's determined by the driver mode (Tour, Sport, etc.), throttle input, etc.
