C300/ 350 Exhaust notes…
Just curious, when I demo’d the C300 on the lot, I don’t recall hearing the exhaust while the car was idling and not very much on the drive. I always demo cars with the radio off as well as the havc so I can hear the motor. In contrast when I drove the C350 I could defiantly hear a more menacing rumble inside the car when accelerating and a slight burble or rumble when my wife and I traded spots and I walked behind the car while it was idling? It almost had a faint V8 rumble to it. I only ask because my C300 sounds very muted inside and outside of the car anyone else notice?

Exhaust
I will be removing the rear mufflers from my C350 when I receive it next week. I have modified the exhaust systems to most of my cars. Usually, I just have the rear mufflers removed and have straight pipes inserted in their place. The cats and resonator provide sufficient muffling for my taste.

I believe he is referring to the C300's V6 as the OP was asking about that engine's sound compared to the C350's "more menacing rumble inside the car when accelerating and a slight burble or rumble when my wife and I traded spots and I walked behind the car while it was idling"
