Exhaust fuse option
I know if we want the NPP open all the time, we pull the fuse.
BUT, what if the 2 leads for the fuse can be brought into the cabin of the car and hooked up to a switch? You could put an inline fuse to replace the fuse in the engine bay and have a small switch mounted to the driver's kick panel or wherever you want. That way when the wife's out of the car you "pull" the fuse with the switch and be noisier. If you're on the highway and the phone rings, you hit the switch to quiet down the car and talk on the phone.
Any ideas on some neat connector that can be used in lieu of the fuse?

I'm over from C6 section, but a fuse is a fuse.... Elmer. ... Break it and whatever it controls stops working.
Whether it electrical part or vacuum after all (mild to wild) is an on/off switch.
Just .02 laying around

There is a thread on doing this. Believe it was posted by Theta. Basically it is similar to your idea. You install an "add a circuit" where the fuse is and then install an on off switch inside your cockpit. I have it installed. My biggest issue was getting the correct add a circuit, which had to come from amazon, as none of the local auto supply stores had the micro fuse type. As for how to hook it up, you need to find the thread from early 15' as I recall. Once I had the parts, it took me around 1/2 hr.
