Better than track since track mode still closes under certain conditions

I'm still new to the C7...haven't even gotten a good photo of mine to post yet. I didn't realize until today the sound management could be changed while driving. I assumed it was locked out when in motion. That makes not being able to link different exhaust modes to different driving modes a little less disappointing.

With the fuse pulled, then NPP exhaust valves will NEVER shut. With the fuse, even in Track mode, the valves still close at times at certain rpm's. Varying degrees for the other modes. I have just pulled fuse 42 because I want the valves open all the time in all modes.
If that is the case, then with the fuse pulled, what mode does it default to?

No mode. It is wide open at all times. Overrides the Sound management settings when pulled.

You are removing power from the actuators, so they are "Off" completely. Even if the computer tries to shut them, they have no power to do so.

I pulled mine (Ben made me do it), nice difference around town from Track mode.

Notable side effect: You can almost watch the outside exhaust tips turn black when you pull the fuse, since it never routes anything through the middle ones anymore. I clean them WAY more.

Yes. I wipe them down every time I hit the garage. Takes about 10 seconds. No carbon build up.
