I selected Track, but I pull my fuse and put back in when taking long trips. Would have been interesting to add M2W and Pulled Fuse to the poll . . .

I use link to drive mode...

80% Sport mode = daily driving
15% Tour mode = highway trips
5% Track mode = fun or track day

I've got a Borla Xpipe which does improve the sound.

Geez our wives must be related haha. As soon as we get on a highway where she knows it will be a longer drive she says "can you turn your muffler off now".

I always kept it in track, but it wasn't loud enough, so I put Bullets on.

Question-on a Z06 with a M2W installed, if you turn the M2W off (so the baffles close) and the car is set to stealth when you shut it down, will it start in stealth or will the baffles be open at startup? I want to quiet the car down at startup, then open it up after I leave my neighborhood.

Thanks

It doesn't matter what the car is set to. The M2W always defaults to open at startup. You can hold the start button without actually starting the car for accessory mode and turn M2W to off then crank the vehicle up if you want it to start quiter.

Engine sound management options:

*I leave it in Auto mode!*(100%)

Is that back and forth mode, or I eat too much pie to care mode, for your poll?

Many thanks,

Ray
