GT Active Valve Exhaust Worth Optioning?

[S650 GT]

I expect i can buy a quad tip diffuser for a couple hundred

Well good for you, that you are going to change the diffuser and change the whole exhaust system for aftermarket.

There are people here who don't want to change the diffuser and exhaust and are very happy with the OEM active exhaust with the options that comes with it.

There is also something in between. Deleting a resonator and having an X or H pipe.

If that sounds like shit to you as well, than just do what you want to do instead of poking on other people who choose different.

I for one am too lazy to procure an aftermarket exhaust. The primary reason I ordered the AE as for esthetics, since I need a V8 to have quad exhausts, the mode variations and extra HP are just icing on the cake. That said, I'm glad the aftermarket will evolve to satisfy those out there who need a little more.

Will the tone and volume of the factory standard duel tip passive exhaust be comparable to the “Normal” setting with the factory quad tip active exhaust?

Also wondering this. Currently my order does not have active exhaust, but i want it to be LOUD 24/7. So just wondering if I'll think stock is loud enough

Right, and I'm saying all of them sound like garbage, and the only reason to get active exhaust is if you care about having a quiet mode. The aftermarket ave kits are loads more expensive than the none ave options, and are pointless for someone who will never want his car in quiet mode and only wants 100% volume at all times.

Have you heard an 2024 GT with active exhaust? I have no idea how you can say it sounds like garbage. I think it sounds amazing. It is quite loud in track mode, so if someone actually wants it louder than the AE can get, then in my book they are looking for the terribly obnoxious exhaust options which I hear on occasion. To each his own. I like loud exhaust, but not so loud nobody can stand to be near the car.

Haha, I was also thinking that track mode sounds loud. I feel like I'll definitely get some comments from the wife in track mode, which is why I got the AE to begin with!

For someone like me there is no such thing as too loud. Aftermarket non ave all the way

Any sound clips of the base exhaust online? TIA!

I'm so glad you and someone like you doesn't live near me.

I originally ordered the standard exhaust for my GT Premium but after watching S550Jay's POV video I added it to my order which fortunately has not gotten a VIN yet. Reason being, it gives me the best of both worlds but mainly for the aesthetics. I don't want to mess with aftermarket exhausts.

2 words to anyone skeptical about picking this option: HELL YEAH! Its amazing, sounds so calm at quiet mode, and deep and loud at track mode.
I also made the favorite button in dash, as a toggle between Quiet / Track exhaust modes. Easy and fun to jump between them.

The instant stealth is handy.
