From what I understand the factory active exhaust is more complex. The factory active exhaust on my gt350 is great but it’s on a switch. It’s quiet or loud that’s it. The new ones from what I gather (I haven’t found one to drive or ride in local so can’t confirm) the exhaust note changes according to what drive mode your in? I’ve heard of a few issues with them getting slightly out of alignment and not being able to active different drive modes. I’m wondering if that’s going to be an issue down the road. Especially with turbos and boost activated cut outs

15psi. 880whp. All 4 modes work fine. However,with the Magnaflow and the Kooks, there is no more “quiet mode” it’s there, it’s just not quiet! lol

@18 Smoke, you have the factory active exhaust? With some kooks and magnaflow parts? Also is that how the active works? Off of the modes or can you run different tones in different modes?

Factory active with w/ Kooks LTH and Magnaflow X and active competition cat back. You can put exhaust in whatever mode you want with buttons on steering wheel. When you toggle drive modes, the exhaust will switch with it, but you can then switch it to whatever you want with the buttons again. So you can be in track drive mode with exhaust in quiet if you want or any variation of drive/exhaust modes. Whipple Stage 2

Factory active exhaust and resonator with Whipple and catless LTH's here. All modes work perfectly including quiet mode. My car goes from extremely loud in track mode to can't even hear it running in quiet mode.

Factory Active w/ LTH Longtubes & Borla Resonated H. Whipple, Just over 14 psi making 885 whp. Factory Active opens fully after like 3000 rpm at WOT regardless of what mode you're in. Long tubes overpower quiet mode on cold start but it settles down and is still very quiet on quiet mode.
