The people that did install the round switch, can you tell me how big you drilled the whole to install it. I have the button no directions came with to tell me how big to drill the whole for install. Thank you

I used a 3/4" (if its the same switch from amazon) and a bit of file work to get a good fit and the keyed notch.

Here is where I installed mine, if you do the same it is double walled right there so you might have to drill from the other side a little larger to give some clearance. I also grabbed a piece of a gm harness that goes to the relay, so that I could unclip the camaro harness where it goes to the back of the relay and clip in the spare piece that I had. This way I didn't have to cut the original wiring.

Best way to figure out what size drill to use is get a set of dial calipers to measure the body of the switch you are installing.

Definitely. I measured mine at 0.760 to 0.770 if they are the same.

I just finished this mod. It’s pretty cool! I previously had the mild to wild controller but swapped it out because it doesn’t close all the time (I’m preparing for my long tubes and don’t want to annoy the neighbors in the AM)

I’d like thank The original poster and inferno1le for taking the time to write this up. You guys are awesome.

The hardest part was running the wires under the center tunnel carpet and drilling the hole (console side mounted round switch). Everything else was just cutting and crimping wires and connecting them to the switch.

If at first it doesn’t work, switch the #1 and #2 wire (#3 is ground) going to your switch. If it’s wired backwards the flaps never move regardless of what the switch is set to.

is there some muffler with flappers inside it that flip between straight thru or muffled modes?
When the car is ordered it shows up on the window sticker as "Dual Mode Exhaust" and the order code is NPP. Most folks call them NPP mufflers. They are not offered on all cars, look for 4 tips on the back of your car.

Thanks to all you guys for the 3 way switch solution. I will be going the simple route, but in my searches for a switch, I ran into this...(see link) It looks a lot like the Forza internally and schmatically speaking. No doubt the switch can be configured like the manual one we're all using if you wanted radio control capability on your home link. I'm sure a whole lot less expensive too.
I'm now looking at 3 way rotary switches...something different. LOL!

You can cut the blue/yellow wire going to the rear fuse block, and wire in an on/off/on rocker switch. Here is a crude diagram of how I wired my NPP.

When you're done, the 3 positions will be flaps Closed/Open/Normal.
So I did that and nothing happened. I was going to post pic to ask for help took the pic and well I’ll just post it for a good laugh

decided to buy and experiment with the wireless controller FasNuf mentioned. unfortunately it doesnt work exactly as i predicted which would have made this extremely easy, but its surprisingly customizable (theres 8 unique control modes which was a hell of a lot more than i expected) so im brainstorming which sort of configuration would be best for what im trying to accomplish (3/4 unique settings available at the single push of the same button every time without having to know the current state of the relays). of course just running a couple wires would be the easiest but i dont feel like trying to route and hide some wires all the way across the car, so im biting the bullet with this wireless setup.

only glaring issue i can see is that the relays are not self latching and each one pulls 75ma to stay engaged and 150 total if both are on. with a 150ma drain it would take roughly 300-350 hours (12.5-14.5 days) to drain an average 94r battery to an unusable voltage so for people that dont daily their cars this could quickly become a problem. even if it doesnt drain the battery too low to start, the constant drain and charge will lower battery life expectancy. the best solution is to have it on an ignition switched circuit so it will turn off with the car which wouldnt be so bad if you want to for example always start up quiet then go loud once youre on the street, so you just wire it up as the "default", but if you want to just keep it in one particular mode all of the time until you decide to change it it becomes an annoyance. not sure how to work around that one but one step at a time.

luckily (and surprisingly) the system and the remotes retain their mode and settings though power loss, no need to reprogram them unless you want to actually change how it works which is fantastic.
pretty surprised on the effort that went into this thing and apparently several of the modes and settings were actually user requests that the manufacturer implemented, which blows me away that a chinese remote control thingy maker of all things would bother to listen to its "community" and actually reengineer their products for them as requested. the world really has gone mad.

Hate to dredge up an old post, but I passed on this method originally and went Forza. I'm uninstalling that due to a failure and want to hard wire it like this. According to Inferno1LE a few pages back there is no power going through this switch, it's only throwing a ground. Correct? I was looking at some cool lighted 3 way switches that would be fun to use, but didn't think there'd be any power for it. Right?

Electrical is not my first language...

I made a quick video on where your wiring the 3 way switch into in the back of the camaro and where i placed my switch. check it out if you need assistance still.
