NPP exhaust on a 2010 SS

Looking for a new exhaust and someone is selling an NPP one so I was looking to get it but didn't realize I'd have to also set up a vacuum system to open/close the exhaust. Anyone run the exhaust fully open all the time? Is there a lot of drone? I have an MRT on my other Camaro before itgot totaled and it was a bit droney in lower rpms. I want something fairly loud and noticeable but not incredibly drone while cruising or in slow speeds. It's tough looking for exhausts and only going by YouTube videos.

I ran it for a while, never hooked up the vacuum so the valves were open all the time. Didn't notice any drone, was actually too quiet for my taste.

Your high off that cam, lol

Op to me it's plenty loud and I run it open full time.

I run full open all the time and drone would only be a very small section of any sound during a small section of a rpm band I guess I just don t use much...even with headers HFC stroked cammed and all that, its usually music to my ears.....NPP Heck I farted around and made a video on my cheap old 60$ camera because my sony needed charged..LOL its in a post that's moved to this section but its got so much damn wind sound its crappy for the sound..LOL

To be fair, I didn't have longtubes at the time haha. For an otherwise stock set up, it was pretty dainty to me. Then again, I'd venture to say I like my exhaust louder than the average camaro driver. I don't have any regard for my neighbors opinions if it ain't waking the dead, it ain't for me!
