Default F-Type Manuel Idle Sound

Hi Guys,

I'm new here.
I just got a 2016 F-Type Manuel V6-S.
I love the car and it sounds amazing but I don't like how quiet it is at idle.
I've done some searching and I haven't been able to find any existing threads the topic.
Is there anyway to have it produce more of a grumble at idle?
Also, is there anything I can do to get it to crackle and pop more when driving?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

You'll get more crackle and pop with a VAP pulley & tune. Adding a VAP exhaust will take it over the top. These engines run too smoothly to rumble at idle. Changing the tune and exhaust will just deepen the note a bit.

A bit late but I also noticed that the V6 (automatic) is pretty quiet on idle even with the exhaust button activated. I also don't like it as most cars with active valve exhausts are pretty loud even on idle when you press the exhaust button. Additionally the V8 also makes a lot more sound when just standing.

I think I'm ready to take the plunge.
Is this what I should be purchasing?

Yep, that's it.
