Before I nabbed my current car, I had been looking at a few which didn't have the "binoculars" button for active exhaust and figured I could live without it. Fortunately fate stepped in and I have to say I think the Jag engineers did a great job. It's a big ask at $1600 on the options list but if you are lucky enough to inherit one in a preowned build, then I have to say it contributes to the smiley boost mode.
