Personally, I don't believe it is truly possible to "have it all", i.e. quiet when you want, or not, or inside versus outside, etc.

I will probably get a Borla front muffler again. Then put it on for vacay with the wife, and switch back to X-pipe for everyday.

I am glad that Ford offers a switchable exhaust for the 2018. The refresh is really checking off my want list:
Loud/quiet exhaust
Firm/soft suspension
10-speed auto means no more compromising of diff ratio selection
Digital dash easier to read in all modes
Rear wing looks good and is hopefully dialed-in in the wind tunnel (The car is too exciting when braking hard from >100mph)​

I didn't think so either, but can't deny the evidence. Is it as quiet as a dual mode would be? No, not quite, but not far off at low throttle either. It's hardly noticeable on the highway/expressway until you downshift and get on it.

I hear this testimony all the time on this forum.
But the fact is, it is difficult to satisfy two completely different people.

How loud do you have to go to drown out a complaining wife?
And what will you hear after you arrive, switch off, and get out?

Answer: Only the wife. :doh:

Guess you'll have to get some first-hand experience then :). The wife complained about the old exhaust setup but is fine with what I've got now.

I went from SLP LM2 on Borla front muffler, to SLP with X-pipe, and that +6dB was just enough to put her over the edge.

We are going on vacation 800 miles away, and even I would like to tone it down for that trip, plus bring back Sirius subscription.

Having not experienced the SLP LM2, it's hard for me to say how loud it is inside vs. say, Corsa. I know it's basically the Roush AB with packing, so not a subtle muffler, but not obnoxious either. I know similar exterior volume Borla products (S-type catback) are much louder inside than mine, probably twice as loud, despite having no actual drone.

with the windows up, the cabin is pretty tightly sealed on these new cars, the sport at cruising will be very tame, and the extreme isn't bad either.

Also, let's not forget that my back seat will be folded down for more room, and that right there increases the interior exhaust sound level.
