17' C43 Sedan
This one was loaded to the max yet it didn't bring the PE. Only part that sucks so far as I now miss the rumble of of the 8cyl
She is a beauty for sure though. Removing the RFTs this week. Deciding if I should go with MPSS or PP04's

The performance exhaust is nice but I think you'll enjoy the car just fine without it. After 8 months of driving one, I have yet to see another C43 being driven with the performance exhaust turned on. Either most people aren't buying it, or most people aren't driving with it on.
Can't speak for both tires you're interested in but my brother has MPSS'es on his Mustang GT. They made a world of difference to that car relative to his stock tires.

^I don't even see any other 450's/43's on the road let alone any with a PE. I've seen one in the 8 months I've had the car but it was some 50+yr old lady rolling around in comfort mode lol. Not sure why she didn't get the 300. Must have been her husbands car or something..
OP, nice pickup
Remove the Cats. That gives you a very nice rumble. Definitely not as orgasmic as the V8 rumble, but it's something at least

I drive almost exclusively with PE in Sport + full loud mode.
The PE transforms the experience of the car.

I used to have it in loud mode a lot but I soon realized I don't like the attention I get revving up to 4500 RPM from traffic light to traffic light lol. Out of the 10-15 C43's I've seen on the road, I haven't seen anyone (aside from myself) with their exhaust on loud mode. Maybe they didn't order it or maybe they don't care for it, couldn't really tell lol.

I have actually seen probably a dozen, and I am in the Riverside South/Barrhaven/Manotick area. I have heard a few in PE too!
I have mine in S+ quite a bit but the exhaust shotgun sound is slightly embarrassing (for me anyways). I have found that in C mode with exhaust it doesn't pop, but it also shifts lazily.

2017 AMG C43
I live in a suburb of Los Angeles, the car (and congestion) capital of the world. I drive every day in my job, about 20K miles per year and have not seen a single C450 or C43 since I bought my C43 last November. My car gets a lot of looks, I can tell you that. Total strangers come up to me to say what a gorgeous car it is. That has never happened to me before! Cardinal Red Coupe.
