Default Sound of car change when pressing sport button..

it could be me but didnt the ISF get louder a bit when you press the sport button?

Im not sure if it could be the flowmasters that were installed but i don't hear any change when pressing the sport button

Sorry i haven't had an F in 3 years and i may be mistaken.

no, the sport button mainly adjusts the throttle input response and power steering effort.

The most apparent thing the sport button does is change the throttle mapping. So if you are cruising at 60 and holding the gas steady, once you hit the sport button you will start to accelerate beyond 60 (as if you depressed the pedal more),.. So in that instance - yeah it will get slightly louder.

no effect to the exhaust, but there is increased throttle response.

Glad your back in the F. Like others who said here, the sport mode does not change the sound of the exhaust.

Yeah it is awesome when i change it to sport as the response is quicker. the car has a little bit deeper sound. Love doing this with the windows down..
