Default Quieter On Downshifts

My GT3 MY15 has approx. 8K kms on it. Not sure if I'm hearing this correctly but when I downshift from 5th to 4th, 4th to 3rd or 3rd to 2nd at around 5K rpm it seems to sound a bit quieter. It clearly could be my imagination but I don't think it is. Anyone with either their gt3 or rs experience this? There definitely is no change in performance and seems to make no difference whether the sport exhaust is on or off. Not a big deal but just curious.

P.S. Mooty and AC be nice.

The car is begging you for Dundon headers

Not noticed such a change. GT3 up to 13k miles and RS over 15k miles and not any quitte... thank god because it could be a little louder in fact. (My Panam GTS is in fact louder unless I'm on it w/ the RS)

You could be right.
