Default Fuse 15- A specific question

Thanks for bearing with me other fuse 15 questions.

I have a 2021 P380 AWD titanium convertible with18K miles.
I have owned a 2014 F type 4 cylinder in the past along with other Jags.
I understand the removal of F `15 will not cause warrantee issues.
Can the removal cause any damage to the motor etc?
Can the removal HELP the sound of my V6? I understand it will for the V8's.
These any any other thoughts ARE appreciated.
Many thanks,
'Scott

It will make a difference to the sound of the V6--especially below 3500RPM. Removing the fuse itself won't cause any damage to anything. One member (with the electronic valves in the MY21+ cars) stated his valves became stuck in the open position after running without the fuse for a long period of time, presumably from lack of use. However, it's the only report I've seen of that. Depending on when your car was actually built in the model year, you probably have the electronic valves as well. It probably couldn't hurt to reinstall the fuse every so often and let the valves operate normally if this is a concern for you.

To be honest, part of the reason I wanted the Claws Out Mode stuff setup for fuse 15 was to make sure that it was convenient to exercise the valves on occasion to avoid seizing issues.
