This is a no brainer. I have the Corsa Sport on my 06 A6 & it's okay, but my Grand Sport I have on order is coming with the NPP. I just sold my 08Z which had the bi-modal exhaust & I wouldn't order a new vette without the NPP.

Personally, I prefer the MTW foot switch installed on the dead pedal. One less clicker to keep track of, less complicated, easy to activate but I don't hit it by accident.

Well..
I put a set on my 06 A6, and a mild to Wild.. love it. Best mod ever. Remember if you don't get Npp and you change to after market exhaust, your stock exhaust is worthless... NPP can fetch $1000... But you will not want to sell..

I struggled with that decision last yr at this time, but I am glad I got it. The NPP, with mild to wild, gets the most attention and ohh's and aww's of anything with the car. Seriously, I had same doubts, get it.

WOW!!!!! Thanks everyone!!!! You made up my mind for me. The NPP Option is back on the order form.
I asked the question, because one of my buddy's just installed a M2W on his 09 Z06 and didn't really think much of the upgrade. He installed the M2W, becuase he didnt really appreciate the Dual Mode Exhaust that came on his Z06. I know we're going to have two different power plants, so I wonder if there's a difference in sound between the C6 and the Z06.
It really doesn't matter at this point, because I'm ordering the Dual Mode Exhaust System.
Stayed tuned for my next poll...and help me build my GS.
Thanks, again!!!!

Get the NPP, then order the Exhaust Commander from Sunset Orange Creations and install it. The best exhaust option available, your choice of stealth or muscle car sound (and 6 additional HP).
If for some reason you don't like the NPP it's in very high demand from other owners that didn't order it. Easy to sell.

I was half way to Florida on I-75 in a heavy rain, listening to the radio, my Sunset Orange exaust switch on quiet, when I spotted all the Harley guys crammed in under the overpass; still/silent, stoic, and keeping dry. Hit the switch as I passed and all of them became animated with prodding, talk, and smiles. And I imagined as I looked back in the rear-view, my backdraft sweeping their chills away. The yellow Corvette story will be told at their meetings for years. Buy it for the sake of others.

I'm in the minority (nothing new there). I realize the NPP exhaust is a step-up from the weak sounding stock exhaust but otherwise I don't think much of it. IMO it's 'gimmicky' in nature; it's a part-time exhaust; and, it doesn't sound as good as certain after market exhausts on the market. I also realize the 'switched' exhaust is popular. No disrespect to our fine vendors who filled the need for such a product but I feel there's something inherently 'hokey' about flipping a switch to change the volume of your car. Call me old school but I want an exhaust that sounds good 24/7 and if I want to change how my car sounds I'll use my right foot! 
Again, no disrespect to anyone who has and likes their NPP exhaust. It's all good!
