Sport exhaust system
I am in the process of ordering a 2019 Corvette. My question concerns the sport exhaust.
1. Do you notice an appreciable sound level change with and without the system on?
2. What mode do you usually drive your car in?
3. When do you switch modes
4. If you had to do it again would you order this option?

I'm guessing you mean the NPP exhaust. I have it on my 2016 Corvette and really like it. I do notice an appreciable sound level change. I keep it in track mode all the time. I would order it again. Hopefully you have test driven a Corvette. If not, please do that. Test drive one with the switchable exhaust and listen for yourself. I think you will like it.

2: I leave mine open all the time.
3: By default, the modes switch when you change the mode the car is in (ECO, Sport, Track, etc.). You can hard set the exhaust setting to a specific mode though and if you do this, is will remain constant all the time. As I said earlier, I leave mine in Track all the time, but I do like having the capability to change the volume.
4: Yes, I would get it again. I think its a good feature even if I dont use it basically ever.

1: Yes... Sound level difference is very noticeable, I would have someone at the dealership demonstrate it for you at the very least though.

I had B&B systems on both my C5 and C6. Both droned at approximately 1800 rpm don't believe the "their systems don't drone crap". Have NPP on the C7 and its great no drone, when it's in sport mode I leave it there all the time.

It is noticeable! I swapped x pipes and had fuse 42 pulled. I put the fuse back in and played around with the modes on the highway to hear the difference. Getting headers this weekend and want the ability to quiet it down for early morning cold starts since my garage is below the master bedroom. I'd say get it but listen to the tone. Folks that swap for aftermarket NPP (from factory NPP) seem to report its about tone, not volume. Biggest difference with aftermarket NPP I believ is stock is 2.75" and aftermarket are 3", don't quote me though.

NPP in track mode is loud. People who I know that have been in cars I passed on the track say the car is loud when I go by at full throttle.
