Pulled the exhaust fuse
For those who have their cars, how many are pulling the exhaust fuse?
Also, anything else connected to that fuse?

I'm going to leave mine alone. I like the quiet ride when I'm cruising and the "VRooooooooooooooooom" when I stab the loud pedal.

Why would you do that? The variable back pressure affects torque and we all know back pressure adjustments often demand other adjustments, too.
This is a really well-engineered and complicated car--it's not a 68 Chevelle. I would suggest back-yard tinkering may not be the best idea. Unless you're a pro, I'd leave it to pros.

Stuck at 1100, but when I get it I'll pull it to see what it sounds like then likely replace it.

Peel back the passenger side floor mat and then the floorboard (takes 5 seconds). Find the bottom right fuse, it's a red 10a fuse labeled as "SPARE", just to the right of tonneau cover fuse. Remove it. Car gets twice as loud at idle.

Wire a switch into the circuit, noise on demand.

That's what I'm thinking. Why mess with a fuse. Have to find out if that fuse controls anything else first.

Yeah. Sometimes wisdom falls on deaf ears.
