Did you guys know the Z06 exhaust could do this?

I hope I'm not the last one to the party on this topic, but I just thought it was awfully nice of GM to put this in there. I wonder if we can get something like it on the 5th?

edit: The fuse trick, not just the vaccum actuated valves.

It appears...GM put some thought into building this one car, lets hope they will think about their other car.

If GM put thought into other cars besides the Corvette, they wouldn't be in the position they are in now.

Probably the Impala SS and GP GXP. They have the DoD so I'm sure they sorta keep the sound down when it's in 4 banger mode and let it loose a little when it's firing on all 8.

I was thinking it's the XLRv and the STSv that also have it.

Pretty cool, saves some money on a cutout, all you have to do is buy a .99 cent fuse puller!!

How much would a system like this be to fit onto another vehicle.........I think its the best of both worlds, have stock sound to keep the authorties off your back but when you want the car to scream you can just pull a fuze or a switch and let her roar.

Also OMG that sounded sweet.............

Yeah, I knew, but oddly enough the local dealership didn't .

An electric cutout won't pass inspection though. At least not here in PA, and I suspect several other states as well.
