V6 NPP too quiet?

Imtheboss · 01-20-2016, 01:45 PM

Going relatively fast it sounds good, but revving and idle are too quiet for my taste, I don't want to do a muffler delete because I spent more for the NPP, does anyone know how I can make it louder without losing the dual modes?

wait for the aftermarkets to come up with something. if I remember right, Borla and Kooks are working on some goodies for us NPP owners. hopefully the wait isn't too long

possible Borla might have an answer for you soon...

Techn9cian805 · 01-20-2016, 01:49 PM

will the NPP mods that Borla and the others are working on be compatible with the V6?

I agree. It sounds good when you are moving fast but sitting still it is very quiet.

Have you pulled the fuse to keep the valves open?

Jeremeymt · 01-21-2016, 09:01 PM

I pulled the fuse tonight and it does sound much better now. I would recommend trying that!

What fuse is it?

NO MATTER WHAT MODE YOU PUT IT IN, INCL TRACK, THE PIPES WILL CLOSE AT INTERSTATE SPEED unless fuse is pulled.

I understand why bc once the afm valves open, the exhaust sound suddenly bursts to life, but I prefer that. It's still dead silent in v4 mode. I guess the afm valves are very restrictive but that's good bc sounding like a4banger would suck.

I plan to build this wireless transmitter to control the fuse in the next week or two when my parts arrive

With the fuse pull, the outer tips will turn darker. Just wipe it out from time to time.

Remember it is a V6... You're never going to get the loudness or rumble a V8 has. I lived through this with my 2013.
