Forza Dual Mode Exhaust Controller

[forzasteve]

Hi Camaro5 ...

We are a new sponsor here at Camaro5 and have just announced the Dual Mode Exhaust Controller for Camaro's and Corvette's with the Dual Mode Exhaust (NPP) option.

With this controller, you take back control of the dual mode exhaust on your Camaro. You can select to have the exhaust bypass valves open all the time or closed to quite things down. Your choice.



The Forza Dual Mode Exhaust Controller is an evolution of a controller that was originally developed for exotic sports cars such as Ferrari and Lamborghini. After a few months of development, the Forza Controllerfor Camaro and Corvette is ready.

This is not a copy-cat product. It was completely designed as an evolution of another exhaust controller that we have been manufacturing for over a year. From the onset, we designed this new product with both quality and function in mind. We are proud to say that we have achieved that goal. No other controller device on the market matches the quality or the overall functionality of the Forza Controller. Check for yourself. From the wiring connections to the electronic enclosure … no other exhaust controller compares.

I have posted all the details in the Sponsor section and invite you take look.

I think you will agree that the Forza Controller is the best exhaust controller available.

If you have any question, feel free to post them.

Thanks

Steve

Welcome..

Just so I'm clear. When this is in closed position the car is basically back to stock configuration where it will open and close.

Hello mlee,

You are correct. When in the "closed" position, full control of the exhaust bypass valves return to the car. In this mode, the car's ECU manages the opening and closing ... just as it does without the controller.

When you press the button to open the valves, they are open all the time.

Regards,

Steve

Good deal... looks like you have it packaged up for a nice easy install.

Glad to have you on the forum

Hi mlee,

I certainly try for that. In my experience, it is very frustrating to go to install something and your missing some part or some details on instruction. With my other controller and this one, I spent many hours writing up and testing the installation instructions. And, I am including accessories to help out as well.

Regards,

Steve

so in other words this is for the exhaust cut off system do youhave the rest of the parts if so will this void any warranty i have

The Forza dual mod exhaust controller is excellent. The price is a steal at $78.50 which includes free shipping. I have this very model installed on my ZL1. The kit includes every thing you need to do the installation.

Two things I really like about the controller. One, the controller can be configured to use either the wireless remote (included) OR you can hard-wire it so it can be activated by a switch that you could install in the cabin somewhere (cabin switch not included). Two, the controller has a lighted push-button (LED) on/off switch that allows you to switch off the unit if the car is not going to be driven for an extended time. The current draw of the unit is minimal, but best to shut off the unit if not driving the car for 2-3 months.

Installing the unit was easy, but I did have to notch the existing plastic fuse box cover to make room for the fuse-tap wires. And I did use a zip tie to get the fuse box cover to stay on - the fuse-taps are just tall enough to keep the fuse box cover latches from engaging fully.

I don't know for certain, but i don't think it would void the warranty of the exhaust bypass valve itself. What the Forza controller does is intercept the power going to Camaro's exhaust bypass valve relay - so basically it just reroutes the power. The Forza controller is fully fused so as not to cause a short-circuit. Also, the controller will only work if you have a Camaro with the Dual Mode Exhaust option (NPP).

Thanks, Perry, for the review. I appreciate it very much.

I do not think there should be any issue with the warranty. The controller is in effect opening and closing the circuit to the vacuum solenoid valve. This is akin to pulling the fuse. There are Chevrolet dealers here and there that are actually providing dual mode exhaust controllers. So, they obviously recognize that the action of opening and closing the circuit to the vacuum solenoid valve is not a problem.

What many people have done is merely pull that fuse out and leave it out. Obviously a very inexpensive solution ... but, once it is out, it is not a quick matter to put it back in.

Regards,

Steve

Anyway to make this a 3 way controller?

This way you could have open, closed, or off (let the car control it).

Tony, you're suggestion is close to how the controller works. With the unit switched on (receiver is listening for the remote) there are two modes you can choose. First mode allows the car's ECM unit to control the exhaust valve just as it did from the factory. Second mode is always open. I suppose Forza could make a model that would keep the exhaust valve always closed (silent mode).

Good question. I wondered about this also. Fortunately Forza has a page that does a complete comparison between their controller and Mild2Wild. Here is the link to the comparison. Go to tabs at bottom of linked page. There you'll find the comparison.

This is exactly what I am looking for as well.
