However, I think the beauty of the new system is that you have the option to turn close the valves unlike the current options we have for the C450, except for the meisterschaft exhaust however I don't know if it is a true dual exhaust like the AWE ones are.

Having just watched Cajun's Meister exhaust video, I'm inclined to say I prefer the sound of the AWE. This is obviously based on limited information taken from the videos only (looking forward to hearing Cajun's comparison soon), but that's my first take.

Agreed. While I wouldn't mind if the 450 was deeper or throatier (did I just type that?) the 43 'farts' too much. I walked away from the Audi TTS principally because the exhaust sounded like a bad sound effect from a Porky's remake.

for sure. I just don't think I would/will order it, regardless.

Based on the pics I have see , it is not a true dual. I looks like a prettier version of the stock exhaust underneath. The AWE and c63 exhaust (and most likely the upcoming c43) has a true dual from the cats back with an x pipe in the middle.

Thats what I thought. Thanks for clarifying cenzo

Here is a 'direct' comparison of C43 and C63 from the same YouTuber:

BeemerToBenz

I hear both cars start up before their rumbles. Maybe they had been previously warmed up, but if not, keep in mind they will sound different on a cold start versus operating temp.

this is the guy who said he prefers the 43 over the 63 right?

not sure if I'm crazy but the deep growl of the 63 blows the 43 away.

It also turns the upshift fart into a burp, sounding much more natural and less intrusive

43 sounds horrible, IMO. If it was me ordering, I would definitely have to listen to it in person before putting any money down.

inhartwetrust

Correct, same guy.

That said, everyone has their own preferences. People were complaining the C450 would drive them nuts...so the C300 sound was best for them. It's all relative.

To me, the C450 sounds pretty good, the C43 Coupe sounds outstanding (don't know what the sedan sounds like), and the C63 sounds absolutely unreal. I would say that the 450 and the 2 others sounds are in a league outside of the 450, especially considering the 450 can't turn it off when they don't want to hear that ****.

tmoneyC450amg

Well you can turn it off. It's called Sport mode or even comfort lol

I never said I prefer a 43 over 63. I just said the 43 sounds good for what it is. Who in their right might would prefer the sound of a 43 vs a 63?

inhartwetrust

Automann said it (in the comment section of the video), that is what he is referencing.

Thanks for clarifying for me.

What he inhart said...

The brute grunt of the V8 blows the V6TT away. It's more of a ground-shaking grunt compared to an ear-piercing whine.

fixinbones

Yeah the turbo waste gate farts! My sons GLA 45 does the same. Annoying after a while. I must say it sounds pretty good otherwise for a 6.

tmoneyC450amg

I like the wastegate farts. I hear them on the ranger rover supercharged as well as the porsche macans.

Ok, someone take a crack at this. Why does the C450 in a Burmester have an AMG branded audio amp if it's not feeding synthetic engine sounds into the cabin?

Attachment 333604

In a separate thread, an audio schematic on a 450 showed leads going out to an "Engine Sound Control Unit". Put em together...sure looks like a system to synthetically augment the engine sound through the cabin speakers.

There is some feeding of engine sound into the cabin. But it's not like BMW which plays a sound file it's actually engine noise being routed into the cabin if I recall correctly.

Is this only true for the burmester system?

Maybe the attachment is the photo in his second post?

Wonder if this will continue with the AMG Performance Exhaust option?
