Exhaust sound

I'm new to the 35is and I'm surprised by the noise the pipes make !
I've only recently got it run in and there's some loud " poompfs " going up thro the box and some crackles and pops coming back down. It sounds like it blips the throttle as well.

It won't do incognito will it?

So I bought a 35is with all the toys to play with. :thumbsup:

Does it? I have never experienced this. Under what circumstances? Mines a late 35is and i've done about 50k miles in it.
Why is it that people who can't take advice always insist on giving it?

Mine does it on the down shifts, but you need to be in sport mode. :)

That's when I noticed the blips - more so when the lh paddle is used.
