Help! Exhaust Bypass Switch

[JT112673]

I've seen a couple of exhaust bypass switches on the market that would allow me to manually open the butterfly valves on my inner pipes (just cause it sounds cool.)

Does anyone have access to the wiring diagram that would allow me to "cut" a wire and add my own switch?

Just doesn't seem like I should have to pay $90 plus shipping when I can spend $4 on wire and a switch.

Any help would be appreciated...

Thanks,
JT

Standby did this to his V, he may be able to tell you how to do it. I would PM or email him and he'll get back to you. If you don't hear from him, repost and I'll look for my instructions from my Mild 2 Wild I installed.

Intercept the white/red wire with a switch.



1. Keep the car turned off
2. Open the trunk.
3. Lift the carpet on the left front (towards outside)
4. Unplug a big white plug
5. Find white/red wire attached to the white plug.

10. Program Remotes. You must program ON to one button on the visor.
Then program OFF to another button.

Its worth noting that the instructions between the corvette and the xlr are different... one is done at the fuse box inside the car, and the latter is done in the trunk at the module. just an FYI

 

[JT112673]

I've been continuing to research the situation and realize all work needs to be done in the driver's side trunk panel... What I'm hoping to get is a wiring diagram or picture of what wire gets bypassed with a toggle switch to disengage the vacuum pump that closed the butterfly valves.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>

Uh, harrower just gave you all the instructions... if you just open up the panel you'll see how obvious it is.

I agree, it's a very simple operation.

This should do the trick

Go to this link, it has pics of what you are looking for:

[JT112673]

That's what I was looking for... you guys are awesome. I'll let you know how it works out and I just saved $90.

 

[cubby558]

Actually you don't save that much--the XLR-V unit is only $65.

Plus you get a remote so no need to run wires and mount a switch somewhere. Well worth 65 bucks to me...

All Done... $3.99

Okay... as promised, here's my follow-up... I spent $3.99 on a basic toggle switch and installed my exhaust by-pass switch. After trying to determine the best place for the switch I discovered there is enough clearance behind the black hinge cover plate inside the center console. The switch is easy to reach, even though it's basically sitting next to my love handle when the console cover is opened... and the sound is awesome. Maybe because I'm a Harley guy too, but there's something to be said about the rumble of a good exhaust system and all this for $3.99.

Wild 2 Mild

Does this switch let the cars automatic function work when the Wild 2 Mild switch is turned off.

Yes.

Depends where you connect your switch. But why?

 

[XLR-V Lover]

If you follow the directions, it has no effect if you have the switch off. It's like it was never installed.

Why would he care? Very simple, if he has it off and at some point you nail it it will perform as usual.

Everything works completely stock when the switch is off... The only reason why I installed it is because sometimes I like to hear the roar and rumble when chugging around town... and it makes the guy in the Z06 wonder what I've got in there...

Don't tamper with that Z06, just let him wonder.
