As for performance increase, I put approximately zero valve on exhaust system changes. A few hp, maybe. But my butt can't tell the difference between 602 and 615.

This was all about being obnoxious.

Mind you, Sport and Corsa modes will get you same loudness. Otherwise, Strada - valves closed, Sport/Corsa - valves open. That's all.
