Engine note change with sport mode
Discussion
Had my CGTS for a week
I set up Individual setting with Sport enable, Auto start/stop disabled, PSE disable. I notice when I switch from Normal to Individual a noticeable (nice - let's not start a how bad the 718 sounds discussion ) change in the engine note. PSE is off, when I enable PSE the note changes again.
What's that about?

The exhaust increases in volume and characteristics in sport mode by default (PSE will be switched on, too). It'll be considerably louder than normal and you'll get the pops and bangs as well, which neither of the other standard modes have. PSE will just give you a bit more volume and exaggerate the pops and bangs a bit.

sound symposer? it's a tube that directs more engine noise in to the passenger compartment
The tube is from the airbox and fitted behind the driver. The sound is air induction not engine noise.Only fitted as standard to gts,s so may be have been retrofitted to a s . I have seen a thread where the guy fitted it himself.This is on a 981 so unsure if the 718 has this setup?
Have you physically seen the pipe? As it's not visible and unless you pull the car apart youd never know?
