Just for the folks that want to hear how it sounds

 

what i wish i could figure out why the C450 exhaust is so different and i cant get the "blip" sounds even when removing my resonators on my c400

 

I'm not sure but I believe it's an AMG exhaust system.

 

I always start up in sports plus. Its the best tip I've uncovered about the car. Although I think it has more of a pop and actually crackles when started after a short drive but the crackling and blurping isnt present on a cold start

 

Yeah I noticed that too, in the video around the 1 minute mark I restarted the engine and you can hear crackling sounds, though very faint. It's a lot louder after a drive.

 

I have been trying to figure out how to start it in sport plus because anytime I shut off the car it automatically defaults to comfort. Any ideas on how to do this?

 

If you have push to start: Press start twice with your foot off the brake, then you can switch to S+ and put foot on the brake and start.

If you don't have push to start: Turn key till dashboard lights light up then you can switch up to S+ and then start the car.

 

Oh thanks for the info, I never tried that before. Here is a clip of my C200. Every time I start up the engine I here this growling sound. I think it sounds pretty nice for just a 2 liter. Skip to 01:37 for the startup (in comfort mode), because this video was actually meant to show airmatic...

 

Your cold start obviously sounds way better

 

My wife complains that my 450 start rumbles through the house!

 

Thanks!

 

My wife says the pops makes it sound like the engine is broken

 

Encourage her to believe that.... ��
