just remove those big mufflers in the fenders and you don't need the sport button anymore.

How much louder does it get if you remove those. Don't want to blast the neighbors out of bed and alert the country folks.

Likely getting a sharkwerks next year.

Probably today. Wanted to hear it for a few days working as it was supposed to.

without the side fender mufflers it is a little bit louder, not a whole lot. but there is a drone in the car while driving at under 3k rpm. easy, keep it over 3k rpm.

Mine had a drone under 3000 before I had it fixed and that was my solution before so may have to try that. Thanks

Anyone know what is involved in replacing the solenoids? Parts? I know where the plug is, but not sure about the solonoid location, etc. Mine are definitely not working.

By contrast, is there any drone from an X-pipe (with the side mufflers in)?
