Default Anyway to keep exhaust closed

I know this isn't going to be a popular thing to do on this forum but I have never liked the sound of this car during partial to moderate throttle. I really don't like it. I loved the way my Zr 1 sounded but not this one. It's ok outside the car and ok under full throttle but I find myself switching to E driving mode ( exhausts opens the latest in that mode ) but car switched between 4&8 cylinders . Just to keep exhaust from opening as much as possible

I think the 50s/60s like sound actually makes the car feel slower then it really is.

Question is ; is there a way to have a switch that either opens or closes exhaust like we had installed on c6 z cars. There are times where I want it loud for sure but lots of the time I would like to keep the other two pipes from opening up at all .
Is this possible ?

Have you tried setting your Engine Sound Management to Stealth? You do that with the car running via your Infotainment system in the "Settings" then "Vehicle" selections I believe. Try it and see if that helps, I know the exhaust will still open at some point, but I think this is the most baffled option.

Hope this helps!

This will keep the car quiet until you bring it over 3500 rpm's. Once you hit 3500, you'll open the exhaust.

I keep mine silent by keeping the rpm's under 3500.
