How can 2013 C350 sound like c43 !!!EXHAUST!!!

I’ve been searching on the web and found out that the c43 has the same engine(just a smaller displacement) m276 just like the w204 c300 and c350 so I was wondering how can you make the c300/350 sound (similar) like the c43 surely the turbo difference isn’t the reason why the c43 sound that much different.

I think the technical answer to your question is baffling, pipe diameter, chamber size/shape, tip size/shape....the way the exhaust is made

Spent about 2.5hrs a couple weeks ago watching, really just listening, to videos of dozens of different exhaust systems on the 3.5L. It was great. Most all had a different note, even if just slightly. Go check some out, the better the sound system the more enjoyable it will be
