Here is my opinion. When I want to go stealth and when my kids are in the car I leave it in D. When I want to unleash the beast I put it in S.
In D mode, its tame and elegant but still has the exhaust note of that says I am an S6.
In S mode, it roars from the get go and lets everyone know big dawg is coming through. The exhaust note makes you look around and giggle like a kid cause it sounds that good.

Awe was able to gain 18hp at the peak, and 27hp at the max "gain". Sounds pretty awesome too! I just hope it's not too loud when I don't want it to be :-)

I took my car in this morning for the 19J1 "recall update" and they had performed 2 recalls when I got my car back:
Campaign 19J1 - SVM Update. Replace Thermostat Housing, Radiator protector, Vacuum line/hose/clips, Tie Wraps, Cool add.
Campaign 48K8 - Power Steering Module SVM Update
Initial thoughts from driving home:
1)Comfort (C) and dynamic (D) mode downshifts are no longer jerky...perfectly smooth. However Dynamic-Sport (D>S) is MUCH more jerky than previously during the downshift. D>S is the mode I like to drive in so I hope this resolves itself as the computer adapts.
2) Car is most definitely more quiet
3) I feel like the steering is much softer...almost disconnected

As for the car being quieter, it's a trip isn't it? I couldn't believe all that wonderful "noise" was and is artificially created. It's amazing. It will come back, don't worry :-) I'm getting the AWE exhaust for just a little bit more muscle out the back.

I have the AWE exhaust on the way too. I think it will be nice! Silver or Diamond black tips? I went with Diamond black
I hope the noise cancellation doesn't make it inaudible in the car! I am not spending that money just so the spectators outside the car can enjoy it!

I broke down and ordered the AWE Sport Touring exhaust last week. I should have it sometime this week or next :-)

As for the tips, I went with the polished silver. My car is Estoril blue and I don't have much black on the car at all. I feel the silver will work better with my longterm goal (CF front lip, spoiler and diffuser). I plan on keeping the OEM chrome bits too so the polish should match up better to my taste...

It seems that the active noise cancelation is primarily concerned with the drone in 4-cylinder mode. I wouldn't mind ANC to remain effective with the aftermarket exhaust because when in 4-cyl mode you're putting around anyway, and I wouldn't want my car to sound like a Subaru lol.

Ah, I should have read the manual more thoroughly. That is quite odd to me then if D and D>S (Dynamic when turning on the car then pulling down shifter to Dynamic sport mode) are the same thing...I wonder why I'm getting "jerk" in one while perfectly smooth in the other.
