In terms of no exhaust sounding good, I disagree. It's not going to sound like a V8 or V6, but it can definitely sound good.
Yes, of course. Perfect was the wrong adjective. To me it sounds the most "natural", or how the car should sound if it wasn't muted from the factory with the OEM exhaust.
I'm pretty conservative, and these are the mods I made. I don't think I will do anything else. I find the car perfect this way.
1. Disconnected the ASC module to disable that fake pumped-in engine noise. All modes sound the same and natural now.
2. Installed the ITS ADS module to make all...
@savagegeese Thanks for doing this. Great video as always - something that will last out there for years to come. Your work is important.
You mentioned the ITS model swap and how cars with lower limits are more fun, and the below are the only ones I've made to make this car almost perfect.

You're looking for "definitive evidence" for the "sensory element" on an Internet forum...You'll never find the former on a forum and the latter is subjective. So not sure why you're even posting TBH, especially on this forum as you have the ITS.
If you've had a lot of cars, you'd know by now...
For street use, and even track really, it's not going to matter. There is a lot of theoretical talk in this thread. This is a street car on street tires. That's the limit you'll feel more. You're not going to feel any difference 15mm out...
Wow. Not good. Should be checked/re-torqued 50-100mi after install and then every few thousand miles. Otherwise could be trouble, which is why spacers get a bad rep.
I notice it around 2600RPM windows closed too. I also like the sound, but it's there for sure. Other RPMs is fine. It does make listening to music more difficult. I need to find out the best settings for bass, mid, and treble with the new exhaust.
Makes sense, thanks. I'd be curious to hear the Track, but I don't want more in-cabin noise. I'd be curious to see how the 180 Tech cancels out certain frequencies, but would need a back-to-back for that. With the Touring, I notice a bit of drone around 2600RPM.
So I noticed two Bonoss spacers for the FL5:
