When it goes from 8 to 4 cylinder pulling the fuse just makes it sound awful (imo, to each his own), and exacerbates the switch over. With the fuse in place its as quiet as a prius in 4c mode. Lose lose situation for what I was looking for.

Yes its an A8, and no I didn't pull the wrong fuse or get a CEL.

Correct.

The Range Tech plug may be worth trying in this case along with the fuse pull. No aftermarket system will make V4 sound good. The M7 folks get great results with just the fuse. The automatic folks have no idea what they're missing until AFM has been disabled and the fuse has been pulled. I've owned both...

In the Infotainment center settings go to Vehicle and you will see sound management in that interface.

I wish disabling the CAGS was this easy. I used the "Insert a blown LED-Fuse" method for my C6.

I gather from this post, https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...-location.html there is no associated fuse.

That's correct. Spend $20 on a CAGS defeat device, which takes about 10 minutes to install.

He's asking about a CAGS fuse, not the NPP fuse.

On the 2016's post # 2 is incorrect. Go into sound management, set the exhaust to track, and it is at its loudest all of the time in every mode. I have a 2016 and it works that way.

Sorry, but even with the exhaust in track mode the valves do NOT stay open all the time. This has been well established. The car would violate federal sound standards and fail the drive by test if it were true.
