I found a shaft & butterfly kit in 2.25, 2.5 and 3 just need the ID of the Tips to know which one to buy

Vacuum Actuator would be easy to find, then make a arm for the shaft for open close and mock it up

I think a sample of the TPS voltage to an OP amp driving the electrically operated gates...is a very possible alternative, should the vacuum gates prove difficult or expensive to attain. Hmmmm.... Do I hear an article for the next issue of the Registry coming up? Or, maybe a "show and tell" seminar for the BG gathering????

Although it would be cool to have the electrics if you could get them to work based off of throttle..

YEs the Z)6 mufflers are somewhat hard to find, but we are actually looking for RPO NPP which was avail on Z06, ZR1 and GS as well as an option on regular cars now.

I think if we could find the shaft and Blade int he size needed it would not take much to make them

Jeff,

Thanks for the tip about the NPP and I see that there is a lot more available. They all want too much, but obviously some can get lucky to get a decent deal on them. There is one speed shop in CT that is trying to buy all that he can find so I might just give up on the NPP option.

There's an old thread from 2005 on the other forum where Ken Reeves modified his B&B and here are a couple pics of his set-up.

Thanks for sharing. Actually, I wish there were a low cost way to gut out my B&Bs to remove the restrictor plate in the version 3 mufflers and I would just put the X pipe on and call it a day. This is a cool, low cost looking more for the person with talent and equipment to mod themself.

Looks like a vacuum advance cannister would work based on the above pics.

I want to be sure so, at the risk of sounding a little slow. Will the npp tips off a non zo6 work just as well?
