First, buy this (available in many places but this was the cheapest I found (no affiliation)),

Corvette C6 Z06 Mild to Wild Exhaust On Demand Switch, Corvette Exhaust Controll

The fuse won't work as-is because the placement of the attached wires prevents the fuse from being fully inserted in the correct orientation. Cut the red wire and attach a spade connector. For the white wire, cut back the shrink wrap where it attaches to the fuse, and pull out the wire (it already has a spade connector on it). The red wire is power for the relay module, the white wire is switched. Insert the red spade into the F22 slot towards the center of the fuse box (always +12V when the ignition is on). Insert the white spade into the F22 slot towards the outside of the fuse box (either +12V or 0V depending on position of relay). Ground the black wires somewhere on the chassis (I used the metal post where the battery cut-off switch is located). I velcro'd the module to the outside of the fuse-box. You could cut holes in the fuse box lid to pass the wires if you want, but I just left the lid off.

On the remote,

"ON" = the circuit is closed, +12V passes through the white wire = the same as F22 being in-place = flaps closed = Quiet
"OFF" = the circuit is open, +0V passes through the white wire = the same as F22 being removed = flaps open = Loud

It will always start in the "OFF" (Loud) position, no matter where it was when the ignition was last turned-off.

Caveat emptor!

Is it not just a slight deeper tone after the fuse removal?

The kit I posted has a key fob with a button to control the unit wirelessly. You use that to program your homelink following the identical instructions in the Jaguar owners manual as you would for the garage door opener.

So I take it if you program it with the homelink buttons, hitting one button will "break" the circuit" until you either turn it back on, or restart the car?
