    Actually Yes,if you disconnect the vacuum tube on each muffler ,put a small screw in the tube ,they will stay open all the time....But will be loud all the time....

    hmmm, this is interesting....in peak traffic I would prefer to drive in Auto-Strada but because I have no sound I drive in Sport-Manual so that I don't have the high RPM. I would love to have the sound in strada and just let the car do the shifting in traffic.

    Do you have some pics on how the disconnects of the vacuum tubes? It sounds like an interesting mod. Strada is just to damn bland... even for a 55 year old. :-)

    I'm sure it would be very similar to how its done on R8, lot of info here.
    Disconnect exhaust valve, so always open?

    Yea that is a very common fix on the R8 forum, instead I put a valveless Tubi on my R8. But if I were to do that it would defeat my spending a couple thousand more for the valved Fabspeed I just ordered. Maybe I should of just ordered the valveless but I did mainly because I start my car up early in the morning and garage is right under bedroom, cold start with that Tubi shakes the whole house.

    Aren't the valves open anyway on a cold start? I thought I remembered reading that somewhere. I have the valved Fabspeed and it's LOUD on a cold start. I feel bad for my neighbors.

    That makes sense because my wife makes me start the car with the garage closed (yes I am getting carbon monoxide poisoning) until about a minute or two when it seems like the valve closes and it quiets down and a few seconds later the RPM goes down as well. That is the only time I can open the garage in the morning.
