Ferrari 488 exhaust flaps

[BasilBrush58]

Hi
Regarding the opening of exhaust flaps should the Manettino switch alter the RPM that the flaps open?
My car starts up with flaps open for a short period then open again at 3500RPM in sport mode, when I switched to Race mode I never noticed any change in opening RPM.
A friend of mine has a 458 and his exhaust flaps remain open all the time when he selects Race Mode?
Thanks for any help you can give me.

Hi , 3500 in sport & 2800 race & open all the time if you pull the vacuum pipes off & plug them , which is the cheapest exhaust upgrade on a 488. You can get lol

How is this done please?

In the Aston I just pulled a fuse to stop them closing.

Hi , drop the rear under tray 8 bolts , don’t need to Jack car up
Un plug DRS & fog light cables & move to one side . Look up u can see the bypass valves on the side of each exhaust pipes , pull the small blue tubes off , plug the pipes with 4/5mm short machine screws . Job done then just Put it all back
