    Hi all. Recently picked up a 23 296 GTS. At idling, I notice quite a bit of droning, which is quite annoying at stop and go traffic. Wondering if you guys notice the same thing? Thanks. My car comes with AF package so not sure if the exhaust is any different from standard model?

    For me I catch this high-pitched sharp noise with the idle RPMs that sounds like a pulley whine. Like my friend’s Ducati. Hard to describe but it’s almost like loose change in rhythm. A chain perhaps?

    It's a good thing that you can just drive with the engine off :D

    I have to say the factory exhaust does sound a bit like an aftermarket exhaust from Tubi etc.
