Incredibly stupid question but have you looked to see if the baffles are actually open in track mode? What about when the car is off? If they are closed can you push them open (car off, exhaust cool)? Maybe they are just stuck.
I know on the C6Z they were closed by vacuum pressure and as a result would usually fail open. I don't know if the C7 is the same but I would look underneath at the linkage and connections.
I don't have any clue on the other sound but it could be something rubbing back there.

only other explanation would be that you accidentally set the exhaust mode to always be in Stealth, no matter what driving mode.
That's pretty hard to do by accident though.

It has to be the baffels being stuck theres no other explanation as to no sound in track mode.i have no clue how to open them manually if you could snap a pick that would be awsome. Im never changing modes while in gear an driving again as i dont think thats what it was intended for.
