Alta product request, piggyback tune with burble & pop

From what I understand the European R56's retained the burble & pop on deceleration, while the North American market cars were quieted down to make the general public happier

Aside from shaking my fist at whomever thought this was a good idea, is there any way to bring that bit of character back with some tuning/changes via the Unichip (or any other product).

$$ to the Vendor who can give me a remap with both a boost in power AND character !

anyone else find the R56 just a little too smooth ?

try cards in your spokes

That'd be pretty awesome to get the burble! ... though I didn't realize just how killer the Alta turbo back sounds until I had to drive with the boot open. The car sounds much smoother than it really is from inside with the windows rolled up and back seats up.
