Default New LC! Exhaust Modifcation?

Just purchased a Caviar/Black LC500. Formerly had a Obsidian/Black 16' RC350 AWD F Sport.

I'm in love with the vehicle already! Had a question regarding the exhaust/engine tones. On my RC I put a full catback exhaust which made it loud, almost too loud, but I am surprised by how quiet the LC exhaust is from inside the cabin.

Are there any settle exhaust mods available such as one of those where you can open/close a valve for added volume? I had a muffler delete done previously on my RC and had great results, but just wondered what others of CL have done!

Thanks

Yes, you can disconnect the controller of the stock exhaust so that it's open for a little more volume through the whole rev range... just a tad cheaper than a Tom's exhaust.

Thanks! I noticed it is louder when in Sport + is that due to the exhaust opening?

Had a TOM'S exhaust installed on mine about two weeks ago. It's great. Controller disconnected. Just the right amount of noise in the cabin for me. I continue to get comments about the blue titanium tips against my Atomic Silver car. People say the tips glow and they never saw anything like it! Of course people cant' believe the sound and rapidity of shifts either.
