Default My C7 starts weird

Hi, I'm not sure what the issue is or if there is an issue with my car starting.

the issue is once I push in the start button, the car starts gingerly; I don't get that loud angry sound at startup. Sometimes, it is so soft that I barely feel any exhaust passing through the tailpipes. The issue is not consistent, but just happening more frequently.

recently tuned my car for LT and meth install.

thank you

Mine has never failed to bark on start-up for 32 months.

I noticed my car starts differently depending on the temperature outside. I noticed that when it was cooler out last week it didn’t have the loud 20-30 second start car had been sitting for at least over night. Just a quiet normal idle. Did this both times at temperatures arouns 50-55 degrees. Around 70 degrees I have the louder idle at start up.

not sure if the timing changes are dependent on the temps. The above is opposite of what I think it would do with those temps.
