Exhaust "pop" in individual
Hi,
i set individual mode to have manual shifts but there is no "pop" from the exhaust when i am in this individual mode.
Is there a way to add pops to individual mode or manual shifts in sport+ mode?
Thanks

best sound and shift smoothness is to leave in manual and redline it as it shifts up automatically.

Set I to S+ on trans and use the paddles to control the shifts..
Mine does fart in S+ and I (as set to S+ trans), it also does a little in S but thats only due to the Magnaflow mufflers allowing what little there is to be more audible..
I very rarely use it though.. 99% its in C (which I have stering to S and everythign else in C).
I used to drop into E on the highway but i saw zero mpg improvement and the throttle siganl lag was a PITA.. so zero benefit..

In my C250, I can hear the fart sound from gears 1-2, and 2-3. I haven't heard it from 4 to 5.
Also when it fats, sometimes I can feel how it looses a bit of "momentum" in the acceleration, I don't know if there is a kind of turbo lag, no idea.

C450
If you took over shifting by selecting the gear pulls rather than hitting the trans button on the center column maybe it acts differently. But if you are in manual shift mode with light on in the center column, you can bounce all you like.
