    Is yours the 7.5 R?

    Just wondering, would it affect the sound of the exhaust? I like the current stock sound not too deep and not too light

    Yes mine is a 7.5 R - sounds the same as before. Still burbles and pops as before the tune.
    I too like the current exhaust as this car does not attract attention. Same can be said about the rest of the R.
    All looks and sounds stock .

    To get the best effect I have the windows down to hear them. Windows up there is not much point unless the sound is in Race due to the cabin being insulated for sound.
    I have taken to the soundaktor tuned down in individual and listening to the exhaust in S windows down.
    I find myself enjoying the tune as the car feels a lot lighter in power to weight and the right foot pedal puts overtaking any vehicle into
    ”like a boss” catagory.
