In this video, we play researcher trying to figure out how to get the best sound out of a stock C7 Corvette Exhaust. I'll do an in-depth walk through of each of the different NPP Performance Exhaust Modes (via Engine Sound Management in the MyLink System) as well as demonstrate what the exhaust sounds like when the NPP exhaust system is disabled by pulling fuse #41 (2014) or fuse #42 (2015-up).
Go ahead and comment below if you need any help or clarification with setting up your new toy!

All C7 owners, read your manuals. #42 is a blank on 2019 . It is fuse 87 for the 2019 model

@1Brain4Wheels 4 года назад

Nice catch, thanks for keeping an eye out - I had no idea they changed up the fuse box/wiring in 2019!

@rwilliams101 4 года назад

1Brain4Wheels thank you for the tip!!!

@plainviewfarms6364 2 года назад

26 minute video summed up in less than a second… there are only two types of modes for npp exhaust…. Open and closed…. Stealth and Tour is same, sport and track is same. Pulling the fuse leaves the npp open all the time, even when fuel management kicks in, so yes in theory it will make it seem louder as you are going through the gears and in cruise….. end of video.. bunch of nonsense

@1Brain4Wheels Год назад

Hey, I gotta give the viewers plenty of sound clips so that they can hear it for themselves… but not a bad quick and dirty synopsis 😉

@DavidCarterBJJ 6 лет назад

Yes, it worked on my ‘17 Z06. I put it back in actually because it was a little too much drone for me. But very easy to switch back and forth.

@1Brain4Wheels 6 лет назад

Yeah, I figured that might be the case with the Z... at least we have the option to easily activate/deactivate as we wish with the fuse trick!

@charleshenson4183 6 лет назад

I can hardly hear the exhaust on this car at all even with this mod. Granted I did come from a 16 Roush rs3 that actually sounded amazing in comparison to my new c7.

@vish23349758 3 года назад

Everyone commenting on the uploader talking too much, come to 2021..pretty much all videos are like this - everyone's "vlogging". Not complaining, love ALL the comparisons! Very thorough. Thoughts on gas mileage? I know I'm gonna get a lot off.. YoU dOnT gET a Corvette FoR iTs gAS mILeAgE

@hayabusa27 2 года назад

This is interesting mine had an option in the engine menu management where you check a box that disables the valve from closing 🤔 everyones engine menu seems to be different

@robskully3539 4 месяца назад

OK … I have bought a 2019 C7 Grand Sport with the stock performance exhaust and a 2019 Mustang GT with a stock performance exhaust. When I have both of them in TRACK mode the Mustang is way louder especially when just driving around. BTW … the Vette exhaust with NPP only has the butterfly valves in the outer two exhaust tips. The inner tips have no valves.

@Chris-ly3lv 2 года назад

Muffler delete and keep the NPP valves, then you would really know what a Corvette sounds like. TRUELY LOUD AF. But keep the NPP valves.

does stealth mode keeo it quiet?

Oh nice, I’m glad you liked the video and congrats on the new toy! Feel free to watch any of my other C7 videos, I’ve got a lot of info that you might find useful after having 2 C7’s :)

@MrBizike Год назад

Why don't you just disable the exhaust not to follow the drive mode? In the infotainment setting there is an option for this.

@philfastmike3496 6 лет назад

Thx for the video! Do you happen to know if that will be similar results with the Z06?

@1Brain4Wheels 6 лет назад

I don't know for sure, but I would imagine it would end up with a similar, if not even a bit louder result with the NPP bypass... I only say it might be louder because the LT4 should be noisier (vs LT1) and I think that would be noticed more with half of the exhaust not going through the inner more muffled exhaust outlets, but either way I'm sure it will sound awesome!

@ericp1969 7 месяцев назад

When you pull fuse out will you get a check engine light eventually?

@robskully3539 4 месяца назад

no … pulled my fuse 4 years ago … lol

@richardfulenwider1956 3 года назад

are you changing modes on the screen or the toggle next to the emergency brake?

@1Brain4Wheels 3 года назад

Hi Richard, for this video I was switching modes via the infotainment screen

@13salinaspride 3 года назад

Just picked up a 19 grandsport. I will have to try this I love when it starts up its so loud, then it becomes a quiet snoozer 😭

@1Brain4Wheels 3 года назад

Haha, I know exactly what you're talking about... once the rpms come down it's almost hard to believe you're listening to a Corvette, this will definitely help! Also, I saw your other comment earlier, another user R Williams said that for 2019+ it's fuse 87 FYI

@ntecl4d Год назад

does stealth mode keep it quiet even with a muffler delete?

@243wayne1 3 месяца назад

I doubt it... However, it is cutting 4 cylinders out of 8 in eco mode so it could make a difference.

@plateofcheese7927 4 года назад

Is this an automatic

@1Brain4Wheels 4 года назад

Yeah, this one has the 8 speed :)

@MichaelS-xi5lf 5 лет назад

Great video does this work on the 2019 ZR1

@1Brain4Wheels 5 лет назад

Thanks! I haven’t personally tried it, but I believe the ZR-1 has the same NPP exhaust system as the rest of the C7 lineup so this should still be applicable!

@drej7505 4 года назад

Which mode is louder Track or Sport

@1Brain4Wheels 4 года назад

I honestly think they both have the same loudness, but track mode allows the exhaust flaps to be open more of the time than sport does (ie sport mode may only open the valves under more aggressive acceleration etc. whereas track will pretty much keep it open unless at low rpms)

@drej7505 4 года назад

1Brain4Wheels ok got it thanks ! Last question . So I just got my C7 used and the battery died how do I make sure I turn everything off in the car I think it was my lights any tips

@1Brain4Wheels 4 года назад

Dray Jones hmmmm, it shouldn’t be any of map/dome lights since they auto turn off after ~10 mins., did this just start to occur or has it been since you bought it? I only ask because I had this problem with a car previously (my old Tahoe) and it turned out my battery was just shot and would drain over night, maybe you can take it to the parts store and have it tested?

@drej7505 4 года назад

1Brain4Wheels it just started to happen I went and got a new battery because the lights drained my other one entirely

@1Brain4Wheels 4 года назад

Dray Jones that’s weird... do you hear any fans running after you get out of the car? I’d be curious to have you test how quick it drains-if it’s slow it may just be a light somewhere (can’t think of which one, they’re all practically led) but if it drains quick you might be able to narrow it down. Sorry I’m not of more help, I haven’t heard of this problem with the C7 yet :/

Only on spirited drives - for daily driving I usually just pop it into drive and go on my way like a normal car just for convenience.

@C8Kid 4 года назад

With the fuse pulled sounds the same in all modes. Thanks

@1Brain4Wheels 4 года назад

Exactly! Yeah, if you pull the fuse after having the exhaust set in "track" mode, then power is no longer going to the exhaust baffles/valves and thus they stay open, giving that great sound no matter what driving conditions! :)

@mycorvettelife 6 лет назад

@arthurlang7453 2 года назад

Sport is the best sound

@TDGame 6 лет назад

Do you have the performance exhaust?

@1Brain4Wheels 6 лет назад

Yeah, I have the NPP performance exhaust which lets you choose between Stealth, Tour, Sport, and Track exhaust settings via the MyLink infotainment screen 👍🏻

@charleshenson4183 6 лет назад

1Brain4Wheels This is a very lame exhaust. I think he meant aftermarket as in borla,corsa,Billy boat etc.

@1Brain4Wheels 6 лет назад

Yeah, I wish that having the NPP exhaust would allow it to sound louder, the actual tone is nice (especially inside the cabin), but it doesn't sound race car enough for me, if that makes sense? I guess my neighbors appreciate this exhaust though lol

@charleshenson4183 6 лет назад

I have the exact same car as you. This mod was well worth the effort,but I can't stand how quiet these new c7's are. By the way,what rear spoiler have you got as it is my next mod,right after the borla x pipe.

@1Brain4Wheels 6 лет назад

Yeah, I've been side tracked with other small projects and life etc. but I agree, the C7 stock is too quiet for my taste (the actual sound is fantastic, just needs to go up a notch), so I still need to decide what I want to do with the exhaust to change that! For the spoiler, I went with the Stage 2 (has bigger winglets) spoiler made by ACS Composite (acscomposite.com/collections/corvette-2005-2016/products/acs-c7-stingray-stage-2-rear-spoiler-z06-z07), definitely a quality product and helps to really accentuate the crisp lines of the rear and give it an even sportier aggressive look!

@charleshenson4183 6 лет назад

1Brain4Wheels Love that spoiler. I went the same route in carbon fiber w stage3 tinted wicker bill threw jw motorsports for $550 yesterday.

@1Brain4Wheels 6 лет назад

Oh man, I'm jealous! :) I really wanted a CF spoiler... I thought it would be too much money for me, but that sounds like a really good deal Man I bet that looks good in person!

@charleshenson4183 6 лет назад

1Brain4Wheels I just got it in & it does look good,but it didn't come with mounting hardware for the spoiler & the wicker bill has 4 oval shaped gaskets that I think I will have to super glue them on as they won't stay on otherwise. If I had to do it again,I would definitely go the factory route for better quality & may be even mounting directions,as this came with none & has a roll of double sided 3m tape that I have no idea of where it goes.

@1Brain4Wheels 6 лет назад

Hmmmm, I know this sounds crazy, especially for a spoiler, but I did see a couple that said they install with double sided tape (for people that don't want to drill into their car). I think most of the ones that are fastened to the vehicle (mine included), are made with the bolts sticking out of the bottom of the spoiler-if your's isn't like this then I would probably return it? Although mine did come with basic instructions, it didn't come with a template for drilling. Had I installed it myself, I would probably get a roll of paper and make a template by setting the spoiler on the paper and marking where the bolt ends were.

to keep valves open at all time. they eventually close after start up, even if you set the exhaust to track on menu
