I caught up and read your previous comment and was about to reply to it. But yeah, mine only acts like it's in Sport mode on startup for a second or two when it gets super cold. Like this morning, it was 64 outside and starts just fine. Last week, it fell below 40 several times and each time that it did, wooo buddy was that thing fun to hear.More or less some people’s ae seems to not fully start in quiet mode as it should. The 350’s behave slightly differently. But on a non-350 quiet mode shuts the valves and leaves them shut until taken out of quiet mode. Other people’s ae it appears they don’t close until a second or two after start causing a very loud roar which defeats the purpose of the quiet mode. My .02 is that those people that get the initial vroom need to have the valves looked at under warranty and adjusted so it starts fully closed as they should.
Since I'm taking it in next week to get the bumpers fixed up, I'll have them take a look at the exhaust as well. Thanks for that info, I hadn't though of it being an actual issue but something fun to hear when it got cold.
