If you use your paddles or drive in manual mode all the time, then it's probably fine, but I don't. That 1/2 second it takes deciding on whether it will go back to V8 mode just sounds horrible. I'll be putting mine back in.

Yes, this interesting. I was told the foam was put in the sound tube to help with a characteristic of the automatic transmission cars. I think you found what it is: active fuel management system switching between 4 and 8 cylinder modes maybe doesn't sound the greatest. The manual transmission cars do not have this mode switching, which is why I made the post in the 1LE thread area, not the LT1 area.
