Default Manual F-type WITHOUT switchable exhaust???

just looking around and came across this very pretty 2019 F type, with a manual, but I remember reading and being told that all manuals came standard with the switchable exhaust, and noticed this one didn't have it, car looked very loaded for a p340, had the big TC button like the base cars. https://www.cargurus.com/Cars/invent...ting=230206663

Maybe Im wrong, but I was almost positive about that?

Incorrect. It was not standard just because it was manual.

huh, guess just rare to see one without it, I remember watching doug Demuro review on The F type and him mentioning that it came standard if you opted for the manual, same with my dealer.

In the US for 2016 and 2017 model years, switchable exhaust was bundled with the manual, and beginning in 2018 (possibly 2019), like many other previously bundled features, it was made an a la carte item.

Right. Forgot to say I was referring only to 340HP configs.

My understanding that even non-S MT would have a limited slip differential but exhaust follows standard model distinctions.

Dunno about Canada, but no LSD has been available on 340hp F-Types in the US.

+1. On MTs or ATs. Otherwise I would have purchased a base model and tuned to what I have now.

Assuming the car has the bi-mode exhaust valves in place, installing an aftermarket remote to control the exhaust valves is simple and inexpensive. I did it to my 14 V8s.
