Exhaust valves in the new Vantage 2006 AM?

Hi guys,
I have ordered the new Vantage and I'l be getting mine in late March. I read this in article just a minute ago:


"And then there’s the noise. Oh my God. What a soundtrack. From inside, all is quiet and serene. At normal speed, when the European Union testing people are listening, all is quiet and serene.
But put your foot down and a little VALVE in the exhaust system changes everything. Under full-bore acceleration, this car doesn’t rumble or howl. It sounds like all the most exciting bits of the Bible. It sounds like Revelation. And it’s just so loud. When my wife went for a spin on a balmy summer’s evening, I heard her change from fourth to fifth
a full two miles away. A Porsche may well have the power and agility to get past, but stuck in the sonic boom from those exhausts, I suspect the German car would probably disintegrate before it ever got the chance. The way it sounds is a good enough reason to buy the Vantage"

This is what Clarksson from TOP GEAR said, so a pretty good veridct sound wise that is.

So every page on the internet keeps talking about these "VALVES" opening and giving a kick as sound, and as soon as they are closed, the car goes quiet, (under 4000 rpm according to most pages I've found).

So the question is:
Is there any way I can have these VALVES open at all time? I want that crazy ass sound always! Not only over 4000 rpm, so is this possible without hurting the cars performance?

Thank you in advance
