Did you miss the bit where he admitted it was in track mode?
I'm guessing that opens a valve in the exhaust to make it louder
Here we are:
It is widely known that the N model provides pleasure with 'sound'. The driving sound of the Elantra N can be largely divided into the exhaust sound (After-burn sound, pop and bang sound) that can be heard from outside the car and the virtual sound of the N sound equalizer that can be heard from inside the vehicle. In N or custom mode (Sport+ setting for Engine and Exhaust Sound), when the engine exceeds a certain number of revolutions, a pop sound will be produced when you take your foot off the accelerator pedal. When driving fiercely beyond a sports mode such as N or custom mode, you can hear a bang sound every time you raise the gear. These are all factors that maximize the fun of driving.
I was finally on the winding road. Elantra N must have warmed up enough by then. As I pressed the N2 button to switch to N mode and pressed the accelerator pedal deeply, the engine revs surged, and the cool exhaust sound echoed. The nature of Elantra N, which had been hidden until now, has been awakened.

What everyone really needs at 22:46 is for some twat to be tooling around making bangs and pops and a 'cool exhaust sound' echoing through the neighbourhood.
The cop was
slightly a dick but I also have zero sympathy for people who switch on loud mode, switch off ABS, traction control, stability control etc on a public highway - these people are the real dicks, they're annoying and dangerous.
And I'm sure this guy sought out this car, ignored the advice from the dealer, read enough of the manual to know how to put it in track mode and what that meant but willfully failed to notice the part which said it was illegal except on a racetrack - all for a bit more drama when pulling away from the lights.
And I thought you had a thing for loud exhausts and blinding headlights.
