Huge improvement over the stock HK system and loving the "no drone" and pure platform for sounds now the fake exhaust isn't being pumped in to the cabin.
do you find that you can hear the engine better when downshifting? i have the asd bypass harness on order and i'm hoping that w/ dct i will be able to hear the engine more.
Yes, car is quieter in cabin without ASD, but that means you can hear more of the engine/exhaust sounds - pops and burbles, especially on downshifts and over-run are much more audible. Another benefit is there's zero noise difference in the cabin when moving between comfort and Sport+ modes.
Takes a bit of getting used to but I'm def sticking with it - prefer the "au naturel" sounds.
