U16 Exhaust system with acoustic flap

Noted the above on my data sheet for my upcoming delivery of a E350 Coupe. Just wondering if anyone knew what it meant?

Piqued my interest...

How Does It Work?

Mercedes-Benz flap technology works in conjunction with DYNAMIC SELECT Driving Modes. When a mode is selected, the exhaust flaps, located inside the exhaust near the rear bumper, allow more or less air through the exhaust piping. By allowing more air through, the engine will sound more aggressive and can possibly add a little bit of power, sacrificing efficiency and noise reduction.

This was not an option when I was ordering my car last year. Interested to hear more about this from your personal experience.
