I have been driving my new ST 290 manual for a couple of weeks now and i can tell you that the exhaust makes no pops and crackles at all what so ever!!
disappointing really.

Drive around with a bowl of Coco Pops in the car with you. Sorted, with the added bonus of some snaps as well.

The exhaust on the 290sc & 5 door is a slightly modified version (as in to fit the slightly different length) of the one first seen in the 280St. There's no middle silencer and it's a slightly larger diameter than the one seen in the 280 sc & 5 door. The 290 ST exhaust is identical to the 280 ST exhaust. They must have left out whatever they did to the map on the sc & 5 door for the ST, to retain the more mature/reserved appeal, or q car appeal if you like. The 280ST puts out 400 Nm stock, about 20-25 Nm more than the 280 sc or five door. Power, just over 300 bhp. Those figures from quite nee. I'd expect them to rise a touch after applying some enthusiasm. I'll be going on the Dyno again next April, so I'll post gains or (hopefully not) losses.
