NAP catback... Yes, it’s aggressive, but a bit sloppy to my ear and the whistling at higher revs is perplexing. For nearly €2K, I’d expect a much tighter, deeper and more refined sound. Hard to do on a four-banger, but it is possible. Will be interesting to hear it with both downpipe (elbow + flex/lower) sections opened up.

Today I noticed that the exhaust in normal mode and N costum mode with the exhaust in sport +, the valve with the car turned on without accelerating, are in exactly the same position. When I accelerate the noise logically alters with the open valve. Interesting do not you think? Yours is the same?
To me that doesn’t sound any better than stock - maybe a bit deeper and I know videos never do justice to exhaust sounds but I just spent the afternoon driving through country lanes and villages in the sunshine and this car sounds amazing as it is - wouldn’t even consider spending that kind of money on an aftermarket exhaust for it.
I would. If the stock one is rusty and defective. That would be a reason to buy something built out of stainless steel. Otherwise a "waste of money" for ME.
Some observations I have made that I wonder if others can confirm or that might explain other people's findings:
1) When I start my car from cold in normal mode the exhaust is considerably louder than once it's warm. I think it starts with the valve 50% open as it quiets down when I pull away + the sound gets louder still if I put it in N.
2) When you lift the clutch without touching the throttle some sort of anti-stall kicks in and the car automatically revs a little. This is accompanied by a noticeable change in volume although I don't know the reason (maybe to alert the driver that the car is close to stalling).
3) When I get out with the key in my pocket the exhaust valve opens. I'm guessing this is an intentional warning sound.
4) When you're moving, changing driving modes from normal to N immediately affects the exhaust however, I've noticed that at idle when the engine is cold (as if you're demonstrating the exhaust just after starting up) changing from N back to normal the valve doesn't immediately close.

1.) This is even more noticeable if you parked your car with an opened valve.
2.) Same for me, noticed this only if I'm below 1000rpm (while softly parking for example)
3.) Really? My car makes a beeeeeeeeeeep
4.) Same effect if you drive in normal and change to custom without accelerating. Car stays quiet until you push the pedal a bit.
Oh no... Really..? You with your car in a quiet street?I know what you feel - now you can imagine how does it sound with non-resonated turbo back exhaust
After first morning I bought 3 expensive bottles and visit all my closest neighbours
I have an idea why ...After first morning I bought 3 expensive bottles and visit all my closest neighbours
Yes - it is how it was. Now I have even larger diameter downpipe (catless), larger diameter flex pipe + the rest of exhaust including custom built rear box.
Some kind of straightpipe
Damn.. That thing must sound like hell. Pay attention on your exhaust valve. I would be scared this thing would be blown out of your exhaust poor little valve I have aftermarket exhaust valve what is operated by oem plug connector, so no problems.
Yes, you are right also there is a possibility to turn off or adjust duration of overrun fuel cut off (feature what some people are calling antilag).
