Performance Dual Mode Exhaust Worth it?
 
Getting close to putting in an order and I'm debating if I should fork over the $ to add NPP Performance exhaust. What do you guys think?

How loud do you like your cars? If not too loud, NPP is perfect. Plus, doesn't drone when you add headers.

I would not get it again....after roaring around town and impressing my friends that I had a loud car, I switched to tour and likek it much more. I can go faster without attracting attention. Besides, I heard the stock exhaust and it's nice.....I do like the 4 in tips though....

Is it really that loud on the C7? On the C6, it was perfect. In my 1LE, it's pure music, not really annoying.

We all have diff levels of what we think is music...I just don't equate how nice or fast a car is by an enhanced exhaust.

How does it compare to the stock C6 exhaust?

No idea...My first vette...drove BMW'S for 24 years working for them.....

Nor do I, and I never said I did for the record. But, I do like the NPP very much, especially when you consider how obnoxious other systems can become with power adders.

I don't dislike NPP, just would not buy it again and would look for a way to splice on the 4in tips.....all my mods are appearance oriented....

If you're a gear head or just like stepping into at times, you would rather have the NPP. I really like the rumble of the open pipes and together with the intake, they sound great.

If you drive 50 in a 55, then you need to stick with the softer sound...

Easy there, I'm a grad of bondurandt and barber, I can track with the best of them.....what we like on the street has nothing to do with how tame or tough we are......and people that make comments that stereotype people are ignorant....

wow.....I don't understand why people take things personal around here. I liked Corvette7 a lot, and have only seen one attack in 6 months, but Glen...........all he said was people who drive 50 in a 55.....haven't we all done that once in a while? Come on it's almost Christmas-

jb306y 12-02-2013 10:24 PM

I don't think it came out the way I meant it, wasn't sterotyping anyone. Just saying people that cruise don't normally want the NPP exhaust and it's an option for guys that like a corvette for what it is. Ok, maybe I was.. ;-) I just sold my race car last year and I've been known to ride a Pro Stock motorcylce in the past. I guess I like the NPP exhaust..

Actually my post was to the OP, not anything you posted, he asked the question.

guys, lets get back on track. I'm still not convinced I should opt for the Performance Exhaust for the additional $1195. Seems the only benefit would be a throatier sound and an additional 5 HP. Anyone with a stock exhaust chime in?
