Mild to Wild problem!
I installed the mild to wild exhaust tuner on my ZL1 and I believe I installed it correctly, but the baffles are open all the time, they wont close when it's turned off. Any suggestions?

Are you saying the Mild to Wild controller won't open and close the baffles while you are driving below 50% throttle?

No. The baffles stay open at all times. When turned off the baffles should be closed at idle. I'm not sure if it is the controller or perhaps my install?

The baffles should be open when the car is off and at idle. This is why it sounds good when you start up the car. If you pull the fuse the baffles will stay open all the time. If the switch works while you are driving, then it sounds like everything is ok. The controller doesn't close the baffles at idle. It either leaves them open all the time or allows the car to function as it did stock. The Vette system closes the baffles at idle from the factory, so the mild to wild controller makes a bigger difference. There is no difference at idle with the ZL1 controller on or off.
I have the exhaust commander on my car which operates the same as the mild to wild controller. Last edited by DangerZL1; 06-26-2012 at 08:57 PM. |

I just noticed its made for the vette, so maybe it does not work on the zl1. But it looks like you can set the rpm where it opens, and then set the rpm where it closes. |

I purchased my Exhaust Commander from them. It works as advertised, but I didn't see where the Elite model was available for the ZL1. Maybe its possible or in the works

Hi guys
Works the exhaust commander on the zl1 or just on the corvette. I think about to order some mild to wild system, but the exhaust commander is more interesting |

I noticed the npp exhaust on our cars uses a vacuum reservoir on the passenger side of the vehicle. If you could wire a 12v switch to the hot wire leading back to the vacuum solenoid, i think you could effectively have a switch to close the baffles, even at idle. Has anyone tried anything like this?
