PE degraded after Racechip install?

Self-installed Racechip GTS black and had a few runs in different modes. Does anyone experience a degrade of PE loudness and less barks during downshift (Sport + with Race mode). I can feel the car has more power, but the PE seems be less aggressive.

My RaceChip Ulitmate (which I suspect, internally, is pretty much the same as the GTS Black) didn't alter the PE sounds, at all, as I posted in:

I’ve used the GTS black on my c450 for three months. I notice far more torque and smoother shifts. For a few days, I seem to recall the popping lesser, and then recovered and probably pops more and louder in race, Sport plus.

I see, thanks for the feedback. I think it is definitely less pop on day 1. Hope it will recover after a few days.
