Default Its too quiet! My active exhaust w/dynamic mode is not working

So all of the sudden my car is muted. Its so sad sounding when im in sport and dynamic mode.

When i click the dynamic mode button i dont hear any difference in sound like i should. I think the baffles arent opening. I did find mice droppings under the hood and so im wondering if they chewed through something that may have caused this. Before i head to the dealer anything i can check or look for to possible remedy the problem? Thx all. Z

Pull fuse 19 behind the rear seat. That's the fuse which keeps the baffles closed. See if there's a difference then.

Hi Zooliu!

maybe this will help you with the search. the flaps are supplied by an air system.

Thing is... if the air system isn’t working, the baffles would be open, that’s the default state.
Take Cee Jay’s suggestion, to shut off the air system. Easy test.

I figured I should followup so my original post didnt cause any confusion. I pulled the fuse and things sounded the same. That said a few days later sounded nice and loud again. Honestly, i think something was happening w/my hearing temporarily than anything w/the car. Old man ears!
