Just curious if anyone else can tell a difference in sound when putting in sport mode?? I moved from a 2020 Explorer ST and when you put it in sport mode there was a very distinct difference in sound. It was much louder and mean sounding in the cabin. I realize this is enhanced through the speakers but there was a big difference. The SPP package says it comes with the sound enhancement but I hear 0 difference. Im wondering if it did not get coded correctly at the factory. I had some issues with my explorers radio and when I got it back the enhancement was gone. I had to take it back in so they could reset it and it worked again.

I do hear a difference but I think most of it is because it holds each gear higher into the RPM's. I'd have to pay more attention to it next time.

What I heard in the ST was the minute I switched it over it got much louder no matter what is was doing. It was a clear difference.

I kind of heard a difference when we drove one. I loved the ST fake sound.

If you want good sound, you unfortunately have the wrong engine for that. These just sound like garbage. No sense in making fake noises....
The new 304a (spp) has an improved exhaust note compared to the 18-21’s it does sound much better this go around.
