No, there is a much easier way than messing with the vacuum lines down under the car.
Just unclip the electrical connection on the top side of the engine bay, on the passenger side. I'll put a pic down below for reference on where it lives...
.... suggestion: If you decide to leave it unclipped for any length of time, while you're assessing how it sounds,... then use some painters tape first to wrap both connections, then cover the painters tape with electrical tape to avoid melting the painters tape. I did that & drove it for several hundred miles before I decided I did not like the drone inside the car at around 60mph. Hence the reason I went with the Carnewal switch.
There's some good close-ups in this thread too - Post # 54. And of course Post # 3 has great pics that show your current exhaust flow if you're interested in how the gases flow.

Then look at this thread, and slide down to Post # 18. I put some pictures in there too (while I was installing the Carnewal switch).

My local shop did this but it is too loud.
I can't figure out how to restore the clip.
Here is a pic
How is this supposed to look so I can go back to normal?
Thanks!

Yours looks like it is plugged in still. He must have undone the vacuum tubes and put a plug in them. Look under your bumper for the little black hose that pugs in to the valve.

I am wondering if he loosened it a bit, then electrical taped it together. I would undo the electrical tape and make sure it is plugged in completely.

Well the GT3 has been to Sebring twice! I am hooked! I pulled the seats out and installed Recaro's and a roll bar. I got a set of wheels from a fellow Rennlister and put the HoHo's on fpr last weekend. I also treated her to a Braille battery. So glad I decided to get this beast!! I also sprayed my roll bar, wings and wheels in performance blue. I used my shop Line-X Ultra on the roll bar.

Thanks! The car really doesn’t need much. Maybe a updated stereo. Looking at a new head unit. What are everyone's thoughts on new stereo setups? I really like this Alpine unit- car does not have pcm
