Ah, thanks, but no such plans.

Let me clarify my above post. The cracks/pops come on when 'Sport' is pressed. They are accentuated if the PSE is also on. Interestingly, Sport Plus with the exhaust off, deletes them. So I have a few modes of driving:
- Normal (civilized, long trips, town etc)
- Normal + PSE (for some childish reason need some extra noise)
- Sport Plus no PSE (spirited stuff)

Sport & Sport Plus give heftier (to me better) steering and also lower oil temperatures (from 210-215 to about 195F), sharper throttle response and lowered stability safety net.
