Great idea, I will add. Also was going to see if there is a difference in sport/+ modes, but people were waking up and I didnt want to be zooming thru the neighborhood, lol. Overall, I think its one of the louder exhausts. Slight drone around 2300rpms, but not that bad with the resonator. But thats just my opinion. I really like the sound, and intake+exhaust, i see the traction control light flashing more.

Default Updated with how it sounds from cabin

I first recorded with my car cam, thinking it would record the sound best since it recorded an empty gatorade bottle rattling around, but it must have noise filtering because it sounded so quiet! so i used my phone, which sounds better. Bonus clunky shifting by the auto.
