Possible to code MPE fully open in sport?

Loving my new car and loving MPE more and more every day. It sounds amazing when it's in sport+ and the valves are all the way open.

I was wondering if it's possible to have the car open the valves always in sport as well as sport plus through coding?

I do not want to unplug the valves because I want them closed in efficient with family or work people in the car.

I thought sport and sport + did the same things with the valves? Maybe the difference is the active sound is louder in sport + vs sport? To be honest I don't hear a difference in sound between the two. Only difference I notice it being less responsive so the sound comes on later than it would in sport + due to the "more lazy" throttle response. Maybe I am incorrect or not hearing it as well as you tho...


As far as coding:

I haven't found any coding available to do this. It may be there but to my knowledge it hasn't been posted anywhere here. I have been keeping up on the coding options since there are a few things I want to change and can't find the options available.

Maybe it is the active sound or the throttle response tricking me. I thought the valves opened later in sport but were always open in sport+.

I plan on coding out active sound so I guess we will see.

Other members have coded it out but some have commented about turning it back on since the different modes will sound almost the same and the blips are almost nonexistent after coding active sound off.

Looking fwd to your feedback with MPE. The others I read about were stock exhaust.

Unfortunately, coding wouldn't be able to do this.

Manual exhaust valve operation is operated by CAN using the Awron as a controller, the video below will show this in action:

Tom - Are valve operations on the MPE the same in Sport and Sport+ and I'm just being crazy anyway?

That video is quite impressive.

Haven't really checked, as we went a slightly different direction with the manual control.
