Any video comparisons of cold-start up with and without the exhaust fuse?

On a bone stock car...

It's about one minute to pull the fuse, just give it a shot! Mine is pulled.

It's noticeable, pop the fuse it's worth the 2 minutes of effort

It should not make any difference on cold start up (or warm start up) because even with the fuse installed the factory programming sets the exhaust to fully open on start up. So either way the exhaust would be fully open on start up.

Once you take it off conversations will be difficult. It will get loud.

Conversations are difficult with it. I thinking it might actually have less drone without it.
I will add dynomat to the trunk the next warm day we have.
