Both my 2018 r/t plus and 2021 r/t plus have active exhaust. It comes with the super track pack option package.

@WorkPlayDrive Год назад

This video was made before active exhaust was offered on the RT model in 2017.

@beanne241 2 месяца назад

My 2020 R/T has an active exhaust. When it’s put in sport mode you can hear, see (RPM) and feel the difference. Great video!

@TheBlackScatPack 7 лет назад

The dedication that you made to record that active exhaust is great!! Since I'm an A8 SP owner I can say this from driving in eco mode and if you set it into track on the highway you can actually feel the car going into full power and see a small jump in the rpm on the tach at a decent cruising speed

@WorkPlayDrive 7 лет назад

Thanks man! I saw and felt the difference, but I really wanted to see what was going on for sure. That jump in speed is the "increased throttle response" I love pressing track or Sport in 2nd gear around 2500RPM :)

@Cryptodegen2A 7 лет назад

Thanks for taking the time to bore scope the valves! I have a tazer for my 16 sp challenger and bought my brother one for his shaker sp. it's a cool device and well worth the 249.00 price.👍🏻

@WorkPlayDrive 7 лет назад

Agreed, I'm loving the TaZer and not even half way through the features.

My 2017 R/T has the Active Exhaust!

@WorkPlayDrive 7 лет назад

yeah man! I heard they extended the active exhaust into the 5.7's in 2017

@wranglerlife4ever42 7 лет назад

It has an amazing sound! Glad Dodge used the active exhaust on the 5.7L. This is how the R/T should sound!

@christophertaybron9970 6 лет назад

Ok I was gonna say my 2018 R/T T/A has active exhaust.

@neoasura 5 лет назад

My 2017 5.7 R/T has a factory active exhaust also..But, that's not always a good thing..because people think you have something really BIG underneath and want to challenge (no pun) you. When they don't realize you just have a 5.7...I wished I'd have saved for the SRT

@glockmodder 4 года назад

This is a really cool video and I wonder if this works on the 2019 rt with super track pack which I have i would buy the tazer then

@WoodchuckJim 7 лет назад

Hey nice work doing that! I've had the Tazer now for a few weeks and absolutely love track mode, the shifts are so snappy and the trans loves to stay in the lower gears longer and finds them with less throttle input when needing to accelerate. I also believed it kept the valves open as it definitely rumbled more around town and under lower loads and rpms, but had no direct proof of it, this def was cool of you to finally prove. Sport mode doesn't exist anymore once you unlock track mode haha. Such a great product! Thanks for doing this!

@WorkPlayDrive 7 лет назад

Thank you, I really needed to know so it was worth the effort. If you don't mind maybe you can shed some light on one of the comments below. Do you have an A8 Scat Pack? If so as you are driving around in Track does the engine bog down on you (MDS?) if not what Tazer firmware version do you have? And it's track mode only now, so I guess I have to change my website slogan from "sport mode engaged..."

@Lierbal 7 лет назад

To provide a thought, if one moves the gear selector to the left the transmission changes to "manual mode." I only keep the transmission in automatic mode whilst on the highway or when traffic is bad. Whilst driving around town I stay in manual mode and it doesn't matter if sport mode is enabled or not - MDS doesn't kick in. Mayhaps a workaround (not necessarily a solution) is to keep the transmission in manual mode.

@tjeffer22 7 лет назад

In track mode the engine doesn't bog down. I've noticed that with track mode the highest gear it will shift to is 7th gear, the engine will shift through all 8 gears if you have sport mode active.

@ronaldturner7430 6 лет назад

My 2018 RT Charger has active exhaust! Opened when I had my new exhaust tips installed at my local shop.

@markurbancowboy 7 лет назад

@WorkPlayDrive 7 лет назад

No problem, was couldn't find any info online so I figured why not create it myself.

@ModelleisenbahnTV 4 года назад

I don't understand it exactly. Did the tazer open the valves in Track Mode? Or the stock car in Track Mode without tazer?

@chargerforward128 2 года назад

I will, on occasion, have a much different sound with Sport Mode engaged than other times. I'm not sure if it's due to the temperature outside or - how long the engine has been running, but I really dl like that "initial different sound" and wish I could replicate it at will.

@WorkPlayDrive 2 года назад

With my manual scat I always felt I got the best sound on cool days in sport mode.

@martin1234512345 Год назад

They always sound better when it's colder outside.

@zohaib876 7 лет назад

Very beautiful car. I got a 2016 392 Hemi Scat Pack Shaker pitch black as well. I did a mid-muffler delete and am totally loving it. Oh and by the way you have the perfect "Investigation Discovery" narration voice I have heard lol. Stay beastin brother.

@WorkPlayDrive 7 лет назад

"Shaker gang" I've been kicking around the mid muffler delete, but I think I'm loud enough for my peaceful neighborhood. I may give it another year then boost the volume, maybe they wont notice. Lol thank you I've been told I should do a relaxation video.

I believe my 2018 dodge challenger V6 also has Active exhaust because I open the fuse box in the trunk and the fuse was in for active exhaust valve

@DCGEMINI202 3 года назад

My 2019 rt has active exhaust. But doesn’t come with track mode from the factory. If i get a tazer would track mode keep my valves open as well?

@jakebutler4610 4 года назад

Work play drive when you installed your tazer did you loose your highbeams?

@WorkPlayDrive 4 года назад

Nope no issues with the highs.

@gabrielmurry4407 2 года назад

Very informative video and love the camera to show it working. I got my tazer and set up the srt pages in my 18 scat manual and noticed some bugs. The track mode along with sport mode only work sometimes. The traction control seems to have a mind of its own and I can’t keep it off when my vehicle has the tazer active. Also it seems like the vehicle says it’s in track mode when it feels and sounds like it’s still in street and other times it feels like track is really activated. Any tips?

@WorkPlayDrive 2 года назад

I would say reach out to zAutomotive for some in depth troubleshooting. While their product works 99% of the time there have been a few cars out there that had some non standard behavior they needed to dig into.

@spartan7274 3 года назад

Do you know anything about that red challenger in the video?

@WorkPlayDrive 3 года назад

Sorry don’t remember who that was it was over 3 years ago.

@goodknight6828 5 лет назад

All 2019s 6.4L come with srt modes/pages. Are the valves always open only with track mode? What about sport mode?

@WorkPlayDrive 5 лет назад

Unfortunately I don't have access to a 2019 to scope out, I don't want to assume it functions the same.

@luvworlddd Год назад

17’ R/T with active exhaust

@WorkPlayDrive Год назад

Yep they made the awesome decision to add active exhausts to the R/T line in 2017 after this video was made 👍

@luvworlddd Год назад

@@WorkPlayDrive ohhh okay, i was wondering because i had just picked this 17 up a few months ago and i noticed it had the active. it really is an amazing feature

@WorkPlayDrive Год назад

There is a noticeable difference between the 15/16 RTs and yours. …in a good way 😏

@kylegier 7 лет назад

It looks like you have red interior lighting. I'd love to see a video on replacing these if you did (specifically for the lights directly above the driver and passenger).

@WorkPlayDrive 7 лет назад

Kyle, those are still the factory bulbs. There were a few posts on challengertalk.com on how to pull these our and solder in colored bulbs. For me it was too much risk and effort so I left them alone.

@stitgibekili 6 лет назад

This sounds funny, but I bought red tail light tape, an x-acto knife, and a red paint marker. Carefully cut it around the light then painted the red tape darker with the marker. I didn’t want to hassle or pay for the expensive mod. About $14 and I have red lights above my seats. Just bought the Tazer for my 16 RT Challenger. Thanks for your uploads and info!

@anthonymusick9979 2 года назад

All v8 models 2015 and up have active modules

@WorkPlayDrive 2 года назад

They introduced the active exhaust for the 5.7 in 2017 long after this video was made.

@asshatfred3310 7 лет назад

yes my 2016 ft has active exhaust factory

@valentinochen9484 7 лет назад

When you were recording the valve movement, in normal mode when the car is idling, is the valve opened or closed? In another way is track mode going to make the idle sound heavier or different?

@WorkPlayDrive 7 лет назад

Initially when the car is idling after cold start the valve is open. It is also STILL OPEN when the car quiets down after the first 30 seconds to a minute. I think track mode has some other factors at play but I cannot figure out what they are . The throttle is definitely more aggressive and it sounds a slight bit louder.

@valentinochen9484 7 лет назад

Work Play Drive thank you!

@theblastermaster5590 3 года назад

Actually a 2017 5.7 T/A has active exhaust. I just click Sport Mode (not track mode) and it's open without buying anything.

@WorkPlayDrive 3 года назад

The video was made in 2015, active exhaust was not available on the RT models.

@FP2000 7 лет назад

everyone asks me why ur car sounds so good what did u do ?? sample ...mid muffler delete and traxck mode always on lol....most of ppl should notice the car is much louder in track mode, thats one of the best option from tazer ...track mode and active exhaust wide open at all time ....and also eco mode ...im not sure when was the last time i put eco mode on....lol....great video brother im sure this will help lots of mopar driver out there....keep drilling it, thumbs up

@WorkPlayDrive 7 лет назад

Thanks brother track mode is definitely my favorite mode to drive in. I'm on the fence with mid muffler delete or a set of low profile cutouts, if I had the height low profile cut outs to a set of side pipes would be my dream. When the weather breaks we need to setup a Cruise and shoot with the other local RU-vid people in our circle you, Honestly ODC, SRT b5, and anyone else up for a good run.

@GavinSortor 7 лет назад

I've got the QTP low profile cutouts and I really don't think it's worth it due to the clearance loss. Sounds incredible at WOT but other than that it's not so great. My buddy has a Challenger Scat Pack and he took the mufflers out...still driveable but sounds way better than my cutouts.

@FP2000 7 лет назад

ont do cutouts...to loud ...do the mid muffler delete first....u will love it trust me....and yes im down for the get together shoot....im def in...

@shaig2520 7 лет назад

FP2000 eco mode is a ripoff your car automatically goes into eco mode under lite use if you go to you mpg monitor you will see your car change from Regg to 4cylinder taker is only good for track mode and that's it not much benefit lol

@brentdaigle1451 7 лет назад

pretty sure the active exhaust is fully open when in sport mode too, tazer isn't needed for this, definitely check it out with the bore scope!

@WorkPlayDrive 7 лет назад

Will check this out in the near future, There is a distinct noticeable difference between Track mode and Sport mode.

@tjeffer22 7 лет назад

Track mode is more aggressive than sport mode. Track mode is a must have in my opinion, it makes driving more fun. LOL

@M.Kabane 7 лет назад

i heard sport mode opens valves 75% and track mode 100% but i could be wrong

@WorkPlayDrive 7 лет назад

it's definitely not open 75% in sport mode, I'm just waiting for the weather to break and some free time to get back in and record it. The issue I'm worried about now is does the active exhaust behave the same on the new 5.7L R/Ts and what about the Daytona and T/A models. So many cars to test...

@tjeffer22 7 лет назад

Work Play Drive my guess is they will be the same as what we have now. Why change it now? I'm my opinion dodge nailed it with this system. The stock exhaust on the scat pack is amazing.

@ModelleisenbahnTV 4 года назад

My car has track mode by factory. Does it mean the valves are open in Track Mode now. Or do I need the tazer to open the valves all time in Track Mode?

@WorkPlayDrive 4 года назад

Technically your valves should be open but I only have test data on 2015/2106 models.

@ModelleisenbahnTV 4 года назад

Thank you 👍

@u1s1m1c 4 года назад

My 2017 Shaker R/T six speed manual has active exhaust.

@WorkPlayDrive 4 года назад

Yep they added the active exhaust on the R/T in 2017.

@markurbancowboy 7 лет назад

The only thing I don't like about driving around in "Track Mode" is the steering is too stiff. Since I traded my A-8 Scat for a 6-speed manual Scat, the exhaust sound in default mode sounds good to me; I don't even put her in sport or track anymore. Lol

@mashalldillon5528 6 лет назад

My 17 charger rt has active exhaust

@WorkPlayDrive 6 лет назад

Work Play Drive so we can do the same right?

@EvolutioNSwe 7 лет назад

Oh.. in addition to my reply below.. I will be removing Mid mufflers by spring .. And installing Mopar Stage 1 springs to lower and stiffen my car up just a little bit more.. Subtle change but .. good change .. on both counts ..

@WorkPlayDrive 7 лет назад

Totally missed this comment, two great changes just listen to someone who has had a mid Muffler delete, It sounds good, but it changes the tone. When I heard it in person I felt you lose some of that deep sound and trade it in for a much louder raspy sound. For me I like that low growl. I'm looking to lower mine as well if you remember let me know how you feel about those stage 1's

@tadmccully9235 2 года назад

I totally have active exhaust on my 2017 RT Charger. When tranny is in 'track mode' you can hear that the valves are wide open....

@WorkPlayDrive 2 года назад

Yep they added active exhaust on the 5.7 starting in 2017 and IMO it was an excellent idea making the RTs sound even more awesome right from the factory.

@Mopar_Roc 7 лет назад

probably one of the best and most descriptive youtube videos I've ever watched, thank you. Does driving with the active exhaust wide open make a noticeable difference in sound vs sports mode?

@WorkPlayDrive 7 лет назад

Thank you, To best describe it... If you have driven with the car in sports mode you notice the difference, between sport and default. Imagine Track mode being just a little louder. If you are using this as the sole purpose to buy the TaZer I would say Don't do it just for the sound increase as it's not worth the price for this alone. This is more of a bonus feature if you will be using the Tazer for all of it's other functions like SRT mode, Line Lock, Engine Fan control, Light Show, etc...

@Mopar_Roc 7 лет назад

Gotcha. I figured so much. I want to do the muffler delete but I'm afraid i"m going to end up not liking the cruising sound.

@WorkPlayDrive 7 лет назад

Same here, check out my latest video on the NoWeeds Diverters. I didn't want to mess with the stock sound, these offer everything from a little volume to make small children cry loud.

@Mopar_Roc 7 лет назад

Thats interesting, I never heard of that. On their site it only shows for a Challenger not a Charger. Might have to give them a call.

@WorkPlayDrive 7 лет назад

They may not have a charger kit yet or it's possible their universal kit will work.

@Mopar_Roc 7 лет назад

Finally pulled the trigger. Track mode definitely makes a noticeable difference, my favorite being steering. On your car is track steering now medium weighted like the stock scat sport steering, and sport the much heavier feeling setting?

@WorkPlayDrive 7 лет назад

I notice a subtle difference in the steering, on my 2015 the Throttle in track mode is pretty crazy. Sometimes it's like driving a different car :) Have you messed around with the lightshow yet.

@devn3813 7 лет назад

I just ordered one. This is a great video thank you. Do you know if they're open all the time in sport or only track?

@WorkPlayDrive 7 лет назад

Not sure about Sport Mode, I was so hyper focused on Track mode I didn't test.

@WorkPlayDrive 7 лет назад

I'll test when I can, the weather is really making it difficult to work on the cars. I did not notice an increase in speed, but I did notice an increase in volume over the sport mode.

@WorkPlayDrive 7 лет назад

Hey Merry Christmas to you too!

@ricowade463 3 года назад

So are the exhaust open always in sport mode????

@Lierbal 7 лет назад

Oh my gosh, I love you! This is EXACTLY what I wanted to see before buying a Tazer for my Scat Pack! I drive in sport mode around town just so I can better hear the sound of my Challenger's exhaust. Do you have any inclination to believe that the active exhaust baffles would act differently for an automatic Scat Pack when compared to a standard? I have no reason to believe this, and so my assumption is that enabling "track mode" on an eight-speed will bare the same result as your six-speed. Thank you very much!!! :)

@WorkPlayDrive 7 лет назад

+Deraj trying to get my hands on a friend's manual scat pack just haven't been able to sync up with him. As you can see from this video I like to deal in facts. If I can nail down some time with a manual I'll definitely let you know and do a followup video.

@Sinkorswim1225 7 лет назад

Great video very imformative. Do you think the sound Change is noticable enough to buy one?

@WorkPlayDrive 7 лет назад

Just for the sound change no... but for the Light Show, SRT pages unlock, NAV in motion. shift light, Line Lock, fog and DRL control, Splash screens, now it's totally worth it, Engine fan control YES. Check out the feature chart www.zautotech.com/docs/Tazer%20FAQs.pdf If you have any questions let me know.

do you have any issues with exhaust fumes in the car when the cutouts are open or closed. I'm really considering a set of low profile cutouts.

@edd3055 7 лет назад

Work Play Drive it depends where you put them, i have them after the catalytic converter so there is no fumes that bother me and it sounds loud as a nascar lol you can see fire coming out sometimes when you rev, not bad for a 5.7

@WorkPlayDrive 7 лет назад

That's what I'm looking for a lot of sound for show. I'm really hoping I can route them to a set of side pipes. I'm hoping we can cut and reinforce the rear framing to accommodate the outlet.

my thoughts exactly "LOUDER!"

@frap0625 5 лет назад

Great vid!! I had a question that maybe you would know I read somewhere that if you remove the spring on the active exhaust and bolt it back up with out the spring on a 2019 it would stay open all the time. Any truth to that do you know..thanks

@WorkPlayDrive 4 года назад

I haven’t confirmed it personally but I’ve seen two instances online where people swear they removed it on the 2019 and it worked without throwing a code. On my 2018 it won’t throw a code for the first 20 minutes of driving. After 20 minutes when you shut the car off and turn the car back on again it will put up the check engine light.

@jonmallek7746 11 месяцев назад

The T/A 5.7 has active exhaust.

@WorkPlayDrive 11 месяцев назад

Excellent vid (and scientific experiment) WPD ! Q? are you saying that you can use a 'normal' driving mode to put active Exhaust back to normal.? (or what Mode does that ?) I'd like to quiet her down a bit once in a while.....but I seem to hear and feel it open all the time after I popped in the TaZer yesterday. Ideas?

@Diehard65 5 лет назад

Just set it back to "DEFAULT" mode on the performance page.

@BBHemisnJets 5 лет назад

@@Diehard65 Well maybe I'm hearing things....but from what I read and what WPD says,,,,,,you should only get Active Exhaust always fully open in *Full TRACK* mode. Agreed?

@Diehard65 5 лет назад

@@BBHemisnJets Yes! I believe that's what he said. Full open when in track mode. Not fully open in Sport mode but opened more then when in the Default Mode. (He was going to scope the exhaust again, sometime, to see what it does in Sport Mode.) I don't want to confuse things but what I would like to know is, if the valve modulates while in all modes, there must be a reason for it, besides just sound. I think only the engineers can answer it though. For example, more restriction at low RPM for improved low end torque but wide open at high RPM.???

@WorkPlayDrive 5 лет назад

The active exhaust will open and close while driving in any mode. Track mode just keeps it open all the time. There is no way to keep it closed all the time.

@devn3813 7 лет назад

I got mine for my dads car and I can't get the bee splash screen to work and the sport button doesn't work anymore

@tjeffer22 7 лет назад

If you install SRT mode you will lose the Bee Splash and the sport button function. You can still activate sport mode from the uconnect, if you hit the super track pack button it will take you Straight tot the SRT pages. From there you can select track, sport, or default mode.

@devn3813 7 лет назад

Thomas Jefferson thanks but I wish I could hit the sport button to still put it in sport mode if that's the mode I want and I really like the bee splash screen. I wish they could have an update to fix that

Great information !! I've been watching different videos before I buy a tazer this weekend. Will the tazer give the same results with the exhaust on a 2013 charge RT that doesn't already have sport mode.

@WorkPlayDrive 6 лет назад

The 2013 R/T does not have active exhaust valves so unfortunately the exhaust portion won't work, FCA didn't install active Exhaust on the R/T until 2017. By the way if you are buying a TaZer feel free to use the "workplaydrive" discount code ;)

Wish there was a better way to do this. I have a Hellcat and putting in track mode is not comfortable for every day driving. The suspension is normal mode is pretty much like you see in sport mode. So track mode is REALLY stiff. I see those kits for the active exhaust but those are really jacked up. You can pull the fuse but then you get codes on the dash. We just need a button to turn it on or off.

@WorkPlayDrive 7 лет назад

I agree, I'm pushing the TaZer Developer to do this, after this video a lot of Hellcat owners say the exact same thing track mode sounds great but displaces your internal organs. It would compliment all the new features he's adding that are useful to hellcat owners

@astcomjakecw 3 года назад

I did it on mine and now engine mode is missing completely. I can unmarry and now it says theres an error and its stuck on comfort. Wtf?!

@WorkPlayDrive 3 года назад

Once you complete the unmarried process you got to give the car time to reset. My recommendation if you’re still having an issue is to pull the negative terminal of the battery leave it disconnected for about 30 minutes plug it back in when you turn the car on you’ll notice the radio may take some time to reconnect and boot up you can turn the car off wait about 15 minutes leaving the car outside so I can reach satellite connection If that doesn’t work reach out to the automotive support and they’ll help you reset everything

Today I changed modes and it threw my car in limo mode with airbag CEL and traction light on. Unmarried and married and it fixed the issue.

@jrm523 7 лет назад

I'm so intrigued that you say there is a sound difference between "sport" and "track" mode! Did you ever get a chance to verify this? Thank you so much for this video. I have been wanting to see how the active exhaust works for a long time. I wish Dodge would give us the nitty gritty..

@WorkPlayDrive 7 лет назад

Sadly I cannot show the difference, it's noticeable but not enough to buy the Tazer based on this alone. Look at the other features it offers and consider this one a bonus. I feel it's got something to do with the increased throttle response (more than sport mode) it takes me a moment to get used to the Gas Clutch when I switch to sport mode, the same thing happens when I go from Sport to track .

@MaCAttaK Год назад

@jrm523 you can definitely hear the difference between track and sport on my scat its very very obvious… i have pops and heavier sound tone in trak and in sport there isnt pops and as heavy sounds.

@mikereeves282 5 лет назад

@work Play Drive I am getting a 2019 challenger Scat Widebody. I will have all of the SRT mode functionality, but am wondering if I will be able to go into "Custom", set the transmission to "Track", leave everything else in "Street" and that will keep the AES valves open. What do you think?

@WorkPlayDrive 5 лет назад

Not sure on the 2019 functionality. If you’re interested only in the exhaust you may want to check out my MFER-1 video. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Q5sOpe1FfI0.html

@mikereeves282 5 лет назад

@@WorkPlayDrive Yeah, the 2019 Scat comes with the SRT drive mode screens like the Hellcat. Out of curiosity, if you confirmed that enabling track mode opens up the AES valves 100% of the time, why did you go through the process of installing the MFER-1 simulator? By the way, great job on the video showing the valves with the Borescope..really helpful as there are varying opinions on this all over the place.

@mikereeves282 5 лет назад

@@WorkPlayDrive disregard my previous reply.....I think I answered my own question. In the 2019 Scat, SRT Drive modes, I am pretty sure I can go to "Custom", set the Transmission to "track" and then set everything else to "Street", therefore opening up the AES valves 100%, while keeping the suspension/steering in street mode for more daily driving comfort.

@WorkPlayDrive 5 лет назад

The reason for the MFER-1 was because modifying the drive modes changes the ride quality of the car. The MFER keeps it open regardless of the mode.

@Probablyshouldnthave 7 лет назад

here is what I found with drive modes off you can not change traction control in different modes so when you put track mode on you should notice no indicator light, with drive mode on you can only change traction to sport in the sport mode setting so you change street or sport traction by going to either menu before going to track and then track will hold the previous setting i.e. go to sport for sport traction then track and you will have track mode with sport traction

@WorkPlayDrive 7 лет назад

I'm going to tinker with Drive modes to see how traction control works, What about pressing and holding the button to disable TC?

does it seem like track mode puts the power down better than regular scat pack sport mode? I feel like I can accelerate harder with less wheel spin with srt track mode enabled

@KnightsGarage 6 лет назад

I just wish you could make them full open with out driving in track mode all the time. Track made has hard shifts (as it should) that are too harsh for every day driving in my opinion. I also feel like I’m stressing my transmission more driving in track. Nice video though. I know it’s older but it’s my first time seeing it! Lol

@WorkPlayDrive 6 лет назад

@Diehard65 5 лет назад

While in TRACK mode just hit the ECO mode. That will soften both the up and down shifting. That's what i do in my SRT 392. Shouldn't be any different using the Tazer.

@Diehard65 7 лет назад

I wasn't 100% sure if you implied(while in the Default Mode) that the butterfly valve is continuously moving into positions that may not be fully open or fully closed, or whether it just moved to "Full Open" and the "Full Closed" postions. In other words does it appear to be continuously modulating?

@WorkPlayDrive 7 лет назад

It appears to be continuously adjusting, check the video at 3:32

Work Play Drive I understand what it does but it plugs into the same port as a flash tuner. If it doesn’t actually flash the ecu there won’t be any warranty concerns

Compared to sport mode it's a little louder and the throttle response is more aggressive. If I were to compare it in numbers. Sport move off volume level = 5 Sport mode on Volume level = 8 Track Mode on Volume level = 9 Hope that helps

@WorkPlayDrive 7 лет назад

no, unfortunately there is nothing available yet to close them. Also there are a few other things at play during a cold start, that increased sound is not due to the valves being open. I was curious about this when I was scoping the exhaust when your car starts quieting down after 30 - 45 seconds the valves are still fully open.

@corteezyrt 7 лет назад

So if I get rear mufflers (flowmasters etc.) will the active exhaust modules stay in tact?

@WorkPlayDrive 7 лет назад

That depends on the shop and the product, in some cases the piping between the mufflers and resonators need to be replaced in this case that may remove the active exhaust, the shops could always weld it back in but it;'s really not necessary considering most people want them wide open anyway... You may need to have the car tuned or get simulators so the active exhaust modules do not throw codes

I have not tested the active exhaust behavior in Track mode with an SRT, but simply putting it in Track mode should have the same effect, this of course changes your suspension and steering. Lower models like the R/T do not have the Track mode option so the TaZer adds this functionality when you enable SRT mode.
