So I finally picked up my K+DCAN cable from the Post Office yesterday (4 days shipping from USA, a week sat waiting in the UK after payment of customs fee
), and applied the MHD 'Cold Start Noise Reduction' to my stock map with MPE and front silencer delete...
Bloody hell! I have read other posts about the 'magnitude' of the change, but I was still shocked this morning by just how much quieter a stone cold start is. As confirmed by MHD, the car started fine as usual and with a somewhat elevated engine speed before settling down to warm idle, but the engine/exhaust noise is a fraction of what it was. Very next-door-neighbour friendly, but almost unbefitting of this car!
It's not often you can moan about something being too good, but I would ideally like half that volume back, or as noted by others some sort of cabin override to choose when to let rip. Maybe I will console myself with the Stage 1 map.
