Yep, mine has a 10 on it too, bottom lower right one, make sure the car is off, pull it, start it up and you'll know if you pulled the right fuse.
Kept mine out for a day, put it back in, it's a bit "droning" for me, switch is the way to go so you can rumble when you want to instead of constantly.

You can do it with the car on. Think about how the switch works.
I sat there one day showing 30 people with the car on. Laid there and pulled it out..put it in..pulled it out..put it in.. When I finished I just passed out.

The 10 means it is a 10 amp fuse.

Fuse is Labeled / MOD 10am fuse
I took mine out a the day I picked up my car and it has been out ever sonce 3/31/06. I am going to put the LG switch in so I can control from the drivers seat. Sometimes it is a little difficult to have a conversation in 6th gear at 75 mph.

"Exh. Mod." refers to exhaust module. My car was built in March and has the new fuse designation.

I'm getting ready to pull mine just to see what it sounds like.
Has everyone that has had it pulled still experiencing zero issues (besides drone)? no check engine lights or anything else?

BLU-BY-U,
Mine has been out for 7 months. Their are no issues except for the drone in 6th. However, I have noticed that the 2 inside exhaust tips get that black carbon dust build up on them with the fuse out. I noticed that guys with the fuse left in don't have the problem. Love the sound with the fuse out!

And by the way, engines do not need or desire back pressure. Now the twin turbos on my "other" car won't function without it (pre-turbo pressure that is).
