If so, exactly what exhaust note difference did you notice through the rev range?

Thanks!

Try it and see if you like it. The exhaust is loud through the complete rev range.

Hi Phil

Removed fuse 15 last year at the Hever Castle event and it has lived in the ashtray ever since, so i think this goes to prove it is fine for every day driving. From what i can remember,the baffles opened up at about 5000revs but with the fuse out, it is from 2500 revs - much more fun.

Take the fuse out and scare the neighbours ......

That sounds a bit like pressing the sport button, the baffles open at much lower revs. The sport button does other things too so it might still be worth doing on its own

No. With the fuse in, the valves are open from 0-1500; closed from 1500-4000; then open 4000-redline. Without the fuse, they are simply open all the time.

Excellent thanks. Will try it.
