I have to say, as a DD and no plans on tracking it, I had still fully planned on at least the third cat delete and maybe even the valve controller prior to taking delivery... but 500 miles in, I just don't see the need! The stock sound is SO much better than depicted in most videos online and def enough for me in "sport". The downshifting pops and burbles are just right... and it's plenty loud when you want it to be while retaining an exotic, refined sound. In a perfect world, would I like to be able to leave the valves open on startup without having to scroll to "sport mode" after its on, yeah... but not enough to add a/m electronics to what I worry is already a temperamental Lotus system



. All I can say is that it was worth the three year wait, and am very pleasantly surprised thus far. All expectations exceeded... (Special thanks to the folks at Lotus of NJ!)
