For sure. The center one has a baffle. I’ve seen it clear as day in lots of videos and pics.

No doubt its active but Im curious as to why its opening and closing so often in this vid. Boost actuated or maybe drive mode?

My guess says sports mode + rpm

most likely at R+ its open fully and sport its open at higher rpm and comfort stays closed. Least thats how the Golf R works. But at R+ you'll also get the full volume of fake engine noise from the stereo.
