Active exhaust fuse pull?
Will you be able to pull the fuse for the active exhaust on the zl1 just like the zo6 and zr1 guys are doing to keep the butterfly valves open all the time?

Maybe I am missing something here? If the valves open automatically on their own when the throttle is pushed, what is the purpose of the fuse pull or manual over ride?

Some may want the valves open all of the time, even at idle or partial throttle.

The valves wont open until right around 3500 RPM. With the switch you can keep them open all the time!

I would imagine that the computer system would have to be reprogrammed or swapped out as well since my understanding is that the valves are controlled electronically....I could be wrong on this though. Anyone?
