Interesting. So once the valves open, they're open.as far as I can tell, the muffle valve in the Mustang AE remains fixed once the setting is selected. It does not respond to throttle.
I agree this is better with regular stereo.One other thing I’ve noticed (and others may chime in on this too) is, fading my sound stage slightly to the front 1-2 ticks creates an even better sound than leaving the fade centered.
The valves vary depending on mode and throttle position. Search this thread showing YouTube video of how they work... they do not sit static after mode selection.Interesting. So once the valves open, they're open.
What separates Sport and Track? The amount the valve opens?
The GM system sucked balls.
I was under the impression that they remained. I am wrong. I thought each mode opens the valve a bit more. Track is fully open. Sport a slight bit closed, normal is , i guess, about 1/2 closed and quiet is fully closed. guess you learn something every day.

This is, in a nutshell, how the AE valves work.Track is always fully open, no matter what.
Quiet is essentially always fully closed, except under high load at high rpm, where it opens a bit to allow the engine to breathe.
Normal is slightly open, and Sport slightly more open. Both are active though, i.e. they change with rpm and throttle to give a more pleasant sound under a variety of situations.
See that's the great thing about AE. When I'm out driving by myself I'm always in track mode. When my wife is in the car and we're talking I'm in normal. Early morning or late night in my community I'm in quiet. So there is never really " all of the time". Having choices is what makes this option a no brainer. IMHO!So I guess the recommendation is that if you plan on using Track Mode all the time, there is no point to owning active exhaust.
