But you might be right about 2021 cars. They tinkered around with these cars so much there is no telling what changed.
I actually don't do it so much for the sound but more for seeing exhaust coming out both tips vs one side only LOL
It has a lot to do with the BS Mild hybrid system
Ok, that's interesting (that MY2021 exhaust behaves quieter even with flap open than previous MYs). How about further experiments to fully qualify? With flap open, what if you start and drive in Sport+ mode? Any difference if car is cold versus already warm? Any difference dependent on ambient temperature?

By the way, it's not that I don't believe the reports. What I don't like is the immediate jump to conclusion and blanket advice for everyone to give up. If it has been fully qualified, then that may be good advice, but the posts so far are shallow on the experimental results.
