I thought I read that the exhaust sound will be tuned based on the GOAT Mode selected (ie: sport and Baja will open resonators)... Am I making this up? Anyone confirm?

GOAT could potentially do that if the computer controlled valves are built into the exhaust. seems like a unnecessary failure source for an offroad vehicle.

Haven't heard anything about this. Also how it sounds is probably my least concern.
IIRC, the exhaust was going to be tuned with GOAT modes. In Sport it was open... the others were closed. I canāt remember exactly where I read this information though.

This is literally the lowest of priorities on my list, but I thought I'd ask because - let's face it, if we're in this website, we're in the weeds!!

:Stir the pot:
With any luck my tires drown out whatever that 4 bangers doing, cause itās MT or nothing.
They pump a healthy grumble into the Ranger through the speakers. I wouldnāt be surprised at all if they do the same with the Bronco. TFL did a video on it where Roman complains about Ford doing it.
If they do on the Bronco, there better be a way to disable it. I canāt imagine doing something so cheesy.

The exhaust will sound different anyways because of the goat throttle body difference , ... ex. sand mode makes trans shift only at 4000 rpm, instead of the normal 2000 it revs more and makes more sound. beside that I don't think they would do anything to change it. Now that I have said that my question would be what difference would a goat mode do to a manual transmission. Sure they can engage different electronic in the truck for stability and slip but shifting will be done by driver. anyways probably another topic!
Probably just tweak the throttle response and traction control for manual GOAT modes...
I would be surprised if Ford put any kind of active exhaust on this vehicle for many reasons not the least of which is itās cringey loudening the exhaust on a 4 cylinder. I plan on getting the manual 2.3L but I donāt want it sounding like a fartboxed Civic.

This would require an active exhaust, which I've not heard anything about on Bronco. They DO have it on Mustang GT, so it exists in Ford's "parts bin". But this is the first mention of it I've heard about on Bronco, and wouldn't count on it.
On Mustang GT (mine has it), it has quad outlets on a true dual exhaust. And 2/4 of the outlets are always open. The active flap is on the other 2, and can be cycled between 4 modes - Quiet (closes it), Normal (1/3 open ), Sport ( 2/3 open ), Track (fully open).
I've only seen Bronco to have a single exhaust outlet, so I doubt they'll have this feature (or at least wouldn't have a quiet mode, as that'd cut of the exhaust completely unless there's a hidden dual exhaust option.
