Control your NPP Exhaust for $20 / Corvette / Camaro
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 лют 2025
- In this video I'll show you how to control your NPP exhaust valve with a remote. The parts will cost you around $20, that's almost 1/4 of the price that some manufacturers are charging for devices that do the same thing as the Mild to Wild controller.
Video includes sound clips and demonstration of the NPP exhaust valves open and closed on a stock C6 Corvette with LS3.
Please note that newer vehicles such as the C7 corvette will need to use a Micro2 blade type fuse (ATR, APT) and the corresponding ‘add a fuse’.

Nice work man, guys like yourself really make this platform.
Exactly right, i had the fused pulled on my Camaro NPP so it was always opened. My electrician at work is a car enthusiast he told me he could make a switch to control it, so i showed him the mild2wild and he made me 1 charged me $30 also said he could have made one that works like the old type of foot control high beam botton on rhe floor. What a cool dog i could hug that guy all day i had a boxer that color once.
Awesome Joe! Going to do this on my 2015 Z/28. I always had to put in or pull out the fuse. This will make thing so much easier.
Did this for my 09, $27. Getting ready to do this for my 15 C7. Just a different add a fuse, micro2.
Great comprehensive video. Will do this treatment on C7 Z06/Z07. Thank you. BTW, great accent, sounding like Mark Wahlberg.
Thanks for the tip! Just did this on my 2011 Grand Sport. Works perfectly - now no need to craw into the passenger footwell when I want to change modes.
+Travis Dixon. Awesome!!
Ditto, did the same on my '11 GS. It is a simple mod that provides a convenient way to change the personality of the car. Thank you!
Another great and useful video! Thanks! I have an 08 c6 supercharged with a tvs2300 and methanol. These cars are awesome!
This is super cool! I have a Camaro and decided to just pull my fuse cause I got sick of the valves closing even in track mode when low in gear. I might just have to give this a try
+James Friedman Glad you liked it!! I'm gonna start putting a ton of GM content on the channel and just picked up a drone to make things more interesting! Everyone...hit that subscribe button!!
Boston Joe: Each time you start your car, does the exhaust bypass valve defalt to the Open or Closed position? Excellent video and instructions. You make it simple and now more affordable
Just did mine after seeing your video!! Appreciate your help 👍👍👍
Thank you, just order the kit .
Can you open and close the valve with the motor off?
my camaro does not come with the NPP, is it possible to get an npp muffler and control it with the remote ?
Excellent Vid...thanks for sharing! This definitely saved me some $$$
Followed this step by step watched 3 time and tried 2 mild to wilds nothing works. Yet when i pull the fuse valves open very frustrating can’t get a module to work with a remote
Are you able to keep them close the whole time?
Bostonjoe!! Love your videos bro. I need to fly out to Boston for a little Old Guard roomies reunion.
+Jeff Myers Thanks brother. Hell yeah, you do!
How do you replace the battery in the remote
Why every bypass for NPP dial exhaust is to make it loud (track mode) all the time or via a remote. I want something to put it in stealth mode on start up. The setting menu, no matter which mode it defaults too, alway the loudest or track mode on startup.
Hey man, in case you haven't found an answer to this question in 2yrs, I have one for ya. As you already know, if you put your car in stealth mode then start the car, it'll be loud initially for a few seconds before it closes the valves. If you'd like to start your car up in stealth mode so it's quiet immediately, you'll first need to hold the start/stop button for 6 seconds without your foot on the brake (auto) or foot on the clutch (manual) in order to turn on the Accessories mode. Once the car is in Accessories mode, you can then start the car as normal and it will immediately start up in quiet mode. This is due to the car opening the valves during the shut down sequence when you turn the car off. Once the car has power going to it is when it'll recognize the exhaust mode you have it set to. Cheers!
For the white wire that you plug into the tap-a-fuse - would I do any damage if I use one of the fuse builder kits that allow me to solder a wire to it, but it plugs into both terminals of the fuse? Would I be doing any damage if the white wire is plugged into both sides of the fuse?
hey man. i have a 2012 camaro ss without the factory NPP. if i were to install a NPP system, i know all of the other things i would need, such as the vacuum related components, but i had an electrical question: since i don’t have the factory NPP, i don’t think i have the fuse for the system to open and close. i am fine with it being all the way closed or all the way open in 2 different modes (i don’t need “closed” to function like factory). how would i go about wiring up the kit if i don’t have that fuse to pull? i just want it all the way open or all the way closed. thanks!
Do you lose any power bu pulling of the fuse?
I can’t find the links for the items you have to order
Why not just set your Z mode to track exhaust? What am I missing?
Just a note to those with a C7. The C7 NPP fuse 42 is a micro fuse. It needs an APT, ATR micro 2 fuse and socket, not ATM. The part in this video is a minim and it will not fit the C7. When you go on eBay search for APT or ATR and add a Fuse. I bought one from a Hong Kong seller for $2.83 with free China packet shipping. My fault, Joe did not know as he did a C6 and I did not look before buying my C7 (actually bought this on Amazon before I picked up the car). BTW, if you have a C6 and want the one I bought, send me a PM and pay the postage. I am just going to cut it off and replace with the micro.
Glad you mentioned this I’m gonna edit the comments to make sure folks in the future have this information there as well!!
I will post after I get the other part on how well it worked :)

How did it turn out?
Is the remote the same? The fuse on the C7 is a 20 amp and this remote says 15
excellent looking bulldog!!
+N. I. Stella says ‘thank you!’
Is there a way to wire in a manual switch to any of the remaining wires on the module? I'd prefer this to the remote. If I could use both that would be sweet too!
Been a while since I wired one but I can’t see why you couldn’t also wire I switch in as well. One of the ones always used to like is the foot operated switch located on the floor.
Joe,
WHere did you place the relay box? Does it fit in the floorboard area with the wires?
Hey man! i wanna connect dougcutout to my stock NPP system. Is that something doable?
Stock NPP is exactly what this is for. The remote gives you a quick fuse-pull (beyond track mode - valves always wide open) or switch back to use the screen or console mode button for stealth thru track modes...
I just bought a 13 base, and it seems to have the npp system on it. Sadly there is no remote. Do you think the one in this video will work?
Yes. Definitely. You would only have a remote if someone modified the stock NPP. You can pull the fuse and the NPP will stay open even without a remote.
Great information, thank you for sharing Joe. I have a base model 05 C6 that I got last year for dirt cheap that i'm playing with. I recently ordered long tubes and catless xpipe and knowing how loud its going to be I picked up a 2nd hand set of Z06 bimode exhaust. The downside is because my system wasn't setup for it I need the NPP in a box mod which currently goes for $200. Any chance you'd have info on making one of those? Seems like the kit uses some of this as well as tapping a vacuum hose in it but not sure what everything else consist of, either way thanks for the incite on this mod.
You mention at the end of the video adding it to home link visor buttons. Any chance I can see that video?
Never ended up making it. The owners manual does have a page that describes the procedure.
Great video !! Beautiful car !!
+Todd Olesen Thanks Todd. Putting on American Racing headers right now so I'll have a lot more of the Vette soon!
Hi I purchased the module. I have a 2019 and the prongs that fit into the fuse box are too wide. I would require a different prong size with the wire attached. Any ideas where to get this? Thanks
Most auto parts stores will have the fuse taps. The C7 must use a different fuse micro vs mini blade fuses. Also I just looked up the C7 fuses and it shows two fuses, one for each exhaust valve so see if someone on UA-cam has done this to a C7 to see the differences. Good luck my friend!!
@@BostonJoe620 As far as I can tell. Only one fuse. Will have to find the right link. Thanks
Hey man, just in case you haven't figured this out yet, you'll need to get a Micro 2 fuse tap. The C7s use that style of fuse for our exhaust fuse #42 under the hood.
Will this work with the base models?
What exhaust did u start with?
Is it possible to program the remote to the Homelink controller if I don't want to carry another remote?
That is a great idea! I’m gonna give it a try. I actually just leave one of the fobs in the car in the spot where the lighter goes.
Some years have a different type of controller other than homelink so it may work on some and not others. I was unable to program my garage door but on my pickup it works.
Do I need to buy a TEN pak of the add a fuse ????
Nope just one. Many sellers on amazon are just are selling the larger quantities at a discount for folks that do work for other people.
Tks for the tip!!! Awesome video!!!
Fernando. Thank you!!!
I have a 2017 SS camaro 6 gen can you please tell me what’s the name of the parts I need ?
Amazon links are above, in the description (hit "show more")
I have a '17 2SS Hyper-blue NPP, MRC, nav, sunroof. I blued out the "SS" logos and hood vents, so I like my Stealth mode sometimes - to fly under the radar...
Are you wearing an abington green wave shirt?
Yes it is my good sir. Got it at Bemis drug!!!!
Subbed Good vid Joe!
Thanks Joe Smoe!!!!
Nice! I want to put cutouts in my rebel 👍🏻
On the C6's, all you have to do is unplug the fuse that controls the exhaust. I removed my fuse the day I bought the car. Been running it open ever since.
I have open headers so if I can’t close the valve while I’m driving I’ll get pulled over constantly. I did the same and it was fine in stock form but not anymore.
Non z06?
I did the mild to wild on my C7 Z06. It was 70 bucks but I could see where it probably cost about 10 bucks to make.
Honestly, don’t care about 70 bucks, and it took about 20 minutes to install.
