With ASE off I've tried ANC on and ANC off (after successive dealer services) and honestly can't tell the difference. I kinda wonder if ANC is nerfed once you turn ASE off. But anyway, whatever. Would have been happy to keep ANC but the fake engine noises were awful.
Mine has an Invidia Gemini catback, which sounds fantastic but the poxy ASE drowns it out at about 4 - 5,000rpm and i'm hoping turning it off is an improvement. From what you say it should be.

I've been wondering what frequencies the ANC cuts out and does it cancel any of the exhaust note? I drive with the windows down most of the time just to hear it more clearly, so it can't cancel that out.

I bought my 2018 370Z about 5 months ago and sold my 2016 MX-5 that I had for 4 years and wish I had bought one years ago. All positives apart from the fuel consumption and fantastic value for money.
