I get a lot more growl in sport plus setting than I do in comfort, again, with values open.
I really don't think that is correct. The "fake" sound inside the car changes when switching between modes...... and when driving, Sport and Sport+ holds the gears higher so the engine is turning faster.

And of course, the flapper valves operate differently between modes, unless you have them permanently opened.

But I really don't think the "engine and exhaust" performs or sounds any differently. Sport and Sport+ adjusts throttle response, and tells the transmission to hold gears longer and shift quicker..... but it doesn't change the timing/boost.... which is the only thing that would change the sound of your exhaust.

If your valves are opened full time..... and you are just revving the engine in Neutral..... I'm about 99% sure all your modes will sound the exact same.
Okay....please excuse my poor camera footage and zero editing.

Values are open and completely disconnected from the electronics of the car.

Apparently my neighbors have an issue with me revving a little too many times. The 1st take I messed up so I had to do a second take.

I also filmed in 1080 with Nikon but mic boom wasn't as clear as Samsung S20.

I'm ordering a better mic this week.

I also shortened the video from what I planned. My notes are in the description of the YouTube link.

There are definitely more burbles and crackles in sport plus than in comfort with values opened on both.
