*Makes the car sound like a clapped out JDM car not a European Sport sedan/ coup.

I’m sure my opinion won’t be popular but I have tuned a lot of cars going back to the early 2000 and I’ve also asked the tuner to tune out any burbles or pops/crackels. I had a 2008 Corvette and after headers and a tune the burbles and pops were very annoying. Took it back to the tuner and he tuned them out. Had a 2015 Corvette that I went hog wild with 11lbs of boost, Meth injection, headers, catless straight exhaust and a Manix triple disk clutch. Car 697 RWHP and 707 RWTQ. Befor I left I asked him if you took the burbles and mini backfires out. He did.

Not looking to put anyone down I just want to know why many folks like these?

I could not tell if you are lower since going from 07.23 to 11.23 as my car is still in the breaking in period so I have not used Sport+ yet.

After breakin service I’m looking at Carbahn for a Femoto unlock and a tune that gets rid of the burbles.
Burbles are not pops and bangs. Pops and bangs are what sound like clapped out JDM. Burbles are more reminiscent (to me) of more exotic offerings. If you don't like them, that's fine, but many of us do. You're not going to understand, just as we won't understand why you don't like them. That's why opinions are cool
