Glad to see this conversation taking place as I recently have adjusted my soundaktor, and when I say adjusted I mean set engine noise to eco mode, and I've noticed a big difference in the noise, which is much better as I can now hear my exhaust, which I did think was really quiet but now I actually quite like it.
I have a question though, does eco mode completely remove the soundaktor noise or should I just unplug it fully and just tape up the connections?. I'm new here by the way, and I never had soundaktors on my mk2's haha.
