    Maybe you're just hearing the difference of the bypass valves opening the exhaust earlier when the car's in Race mode?

    I have a feeling the vacuum signal to the bypass valve changes so the car actually sounds louder regardless of rpm.

    I have not noticed a difference between sport and race, but there is definitely a difference between wet and sport. My car is a stick.
