Hey everyone, brand new to forums..did a bit of searching but confused by the answers.

I understand the V6S and R types have active exhaust.

I just purchased a new base F-Type with no such button. I have the dynamic switch to the left of the gear changer but thats it. Also is automatic.

Curious, I have read on here that the valves are always open on the base? Meaning..it sounds as if active exhaust is always on. Or am I confused by this and in fact the valves are always closed, even when in dynamic mode.

Just looking for a straight forward answer. thanks!!

 

Unless you have active exhaust as an option on the base, you have no valves.Your sound level will be almost as loud as the active exhaust with the valves open, but not quite. Depending on model level and options, active exhaust valves might be controlled by the computer only, or it may be switchable (with a separate button).

 

If you are looking for the pop, use sport mode and get above 4KRPM and let off

 

yes was looking for that 'pop' sound, curious if its the same on my model vs say the V6 S or alike.

Will try this in sport mode, would it be wiser to use manual shifting for greater effect?

 

Yes. Downshift into second gear and then just very lightly touch the throttle and it should pop and crack a lot.

 

Is there launch control on the base model of the f type?
