Hi , I have had my 2017 v6 for 3 weeks and loving it after coming from a GT86 the extra power is nice the only thing I would like to change on the car is how loud the cold start is . Early morning start ups are wearing thin with the people next door .
Is a module that can be fitted or can it be taken off during a remap which is what I had done to the GT86
Thanks
Cold start noise
You can mitigate the start-up noise to some extent by selecting D immediately after starting. Your neighbour will still be woken up, alas.

You can fit an aftermarket module that is programmable to be closed on start, open or remember how you last set it
Works a great on mine. Early airport starts, quiet motorway cruising or spirited drive in the countryside

This is the module I have fitted:

Look in the shop for the F type and you’ll see how control of the exhaust valves is part of the features

I have one of these SmartTop modules fitted and unless i'm missing something you will still get the Start Up Roar regardless of any settings as the valves require Vacuum to close them so till the engine is running they are open hence the Roar initially.
What i'd like is some way BY CHOICE of keeping the valves closed when the revs go above 4000rpm , trying to pull a stealth overtake then the valves opening as your level with the other vehicle does appear that your showing off!!
Cold start as stated, pull it into "D" as soon as engine starts limits it slightly for neighbours.
