Default Exhaust cut-outs?

Have any of you installed these on a C7? Any issues; anything that favors one brand over another?

TIA!

Larry

Instead of cutouts I found some NPP mufflers on ebay. The valves are spring loaded full open so I made up some spacers to hold them at about 50%. Very happy w/ the sound and I can vary it w/ different sized spacers.

Craig,

Thx for that info. I know very little about C7s, co I just googled NPP exhaust and this link was one of the search results: https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...ers-sound.html. The video in that thread shows that the mufflers are controlled by a cockpit touch screen. Is that a standard feature on all C7s?

NPP, aka the Performance Exhaust is an option.

Easy to tell if you have it... the NPP exhaust is larger with flared tips.



The settings and drive mode **** will change the sound, or some people just remove the fuse that controls the flap so they are wide open all the time. Another option for control is Mild 2 Wild.

An "Advanced Search" across the C7 sections here should find at least one thread on cut-outs, which I vaguely recall.
