Does anyone know if the 3.0s is quicker with the noisy button off.
The impression of going quickly is there due to the noise factor but I think my car is actually quicker in "silent" mode?

It would be somewhat scientific to determine if the increased backpressure of the exhaust closed is better or worse than open for performance

One thing for sure is there is no way you’d tell driving on road with a couple of BHP either way out of 380hp. You might drive harder hearing less noise.

In silent mode the exaust opens at 4.000 rpm (at least on the V8), no matter what, so any "gain" must be below that anyhow.
