How to raise engine noise in cabin?
The v6 f-type sounds absurdly good from outside the car, but I’m disappointed with the lack of engine feel/sound from inside the cabin. I’ve tried dynamic+sport mode (passive exhaust). It’s almost like someone cut most of the low end out of the sound. It does sound better when it’s very high revs, but still feels strange to me, like it’s distant.
I saw one post where someone removed sound deadening to help more engine sound enter the car. If anyone has tried that, did it work for you? I realize road noise would increase but I don’t think that would bother me.
Aside from that, is there an exhaust modification recommended that doesn’t make things too raspy?

Never mind the increases in power, torque, responsiveness and performance!

I wish mine had come without it, but fortunately it's really easy to defeat. It overpowers the "good" sounds (engine, exhaust) by adding drone.
