M2W is your friend. The drone on the highway in 6th gear on a long trip, particularly with the windows up, is tiring.

it's all good boys!

Thanks

All, I also pulled my fuse hoping to see a large difference like many of you stated. I have very little change in rumble. I have verified the right fuse was pulled. Am I missing something?

Help

there is a few slots to keep extra fuses on the top left corner close to the fuse puller...thats where i keep mine

I pulled the fuse, expecting a deeper sound. I heard a small difference but I am not experiencing what all the comments are getting. I double checked the fuse and I have pulled the right one. Any suggestions?

I bought mild to wild and loved it, but after I few instances of weak crank or dead battery, I drew the conclusion (rightly or wrongly) that it was causing a mild drain.

At the time I was only driving the car every three or our days.

I changed the battery and pulled the fuse at the same time and the no start problem went away so I can't say the issue was M2W related.

Drone doesn't bother me too much

M2W creates a battery drain if left in the on position. It will tell you in the directions. There is another way of wiring it though so there is no drain.

Correct, it called a $5.00 RadioShack switch.

I may be crazy but I thought I saw a discussion stating that this fuse was also related to the traction control system??

It actually is: it creates a driver experience that becomes conducive to driving a hot rod; that, in turn, creates a driver experience that causes a push to the limits; and that, in turn, creates the need for traction control.

Pulled the fuse on mine today (just bought it Saturday), it is still quiet compared to my 06 C6 with LG headers, cats and SLP catback.

Second 383vett's comments - a couple bucks for an add-a-fuse and a radio shack switch. I mounted the switch where the ash tray was (pulled it out, as I don't use it). Now it's controllable, doesn't drain the battery, and cost me less than $10. OK, maybe $20 if you count my time installing...
