Active exhaust: yay or nay?

[jbryan]

I've been on the lookout a red or white 2019 GT Premium with A10, PP1, Magneride, and active exhaust. I've found two in FL that have nav and few other things. I saw this one in WA https://www.vancouverford.com/new/F...plink&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=cars.com The price is great, if it's not just marketing, but no active exhaust. Would the lack of active exhaust be a deal breaker for you? I'd probably keep it stock if I had active exhaust.

Active exhaust is one of my favorite options. I can't imagine not having it. Take the resonator out and put in an H-pipe and it's perfect!

That's my thought too.....the two in FL with AE are $3-6k more....that's why I even considered this one.

+!. I put it in track mode and it is plenty loud for me. Quiet mode in the community and everyone's happy. A must buy!

AE was a dealbreaker for me, but only because i live in a condo.. and i dont want my neighbors to HATE me like they do the other neighbors with fart cannons..

so quiet start was pretty much necessary for me.

but, having said that.. now that i have the car, i can say its an option i constantly change/use.. just today i was on my way to work, early in the morn and there was a cop sitting there waiting for people to run the stop sign.. so instead of driving by in track mode at 7am.. it was an easy change to quiet.. do my 4 way stop, and back on my way without drawing too much attention.

I am hearing impaired, so it doesn't matter much to me personally. But, I live in a quiet neighborhood with lots of babies and toddlers. I try to be considerate, but I do need to be told when I am making too much noise, like snow blowing at 10:00 pm.

I did a "nay".
It would have been a waste of good money as I would leave it TRACK mode at all times anyways.

If you think there are times to be quiet, and times to be loud, it is a must have.

It was a must have for me and I can’t see me changing my mind about it IMO

AE is great. Makes the wife happy and I can enjoy it also.

I didn't have a choice..............

I would hold out for active exhaust for sure, I luv it

 

[gixxersixxerman]

Yes, I wouldn’t have the exhaust I have now if it wasn’t active.

if you can’t find factory active, I say it’s worth it to buy aftermarket active.. I’ll never go back. Took a trip to SoCal last month. Putting the car in quite was worth every penny

I like my neighbors and they like me, I think. So yay. Was not going to get it originally but found the one that I wanted with everything I wanted plus active exhaust. Now that I have it can't imagine not having it. I use it so much I can pretty much scroll through the menu without looking to make the exhaust changes. Only change I want to make exhaustwise is the X-Pipe upgrade.

I'm glad mine has it since I deleted the resonators and replaced them with straight pipe.
Additionally, I have a side entry garage and I leave for work at 5:30 am... poor next door neighbors.
Even in "quiet" mode, a cold start is really loud for the first 20-30 seconds.
To be nice to my next door neighbor, I start the car with the garage door closed and wait till I get sleepy, then open the door since the valves have closed.
My neighbor and I get along well......... I want to keep it that way!
