a stupid question regarding performance exhaust button

I'm just wondering if the performance exhaust button on c43 is just simply a button for the sound? does it have anything to do with fuel consumption?

Yes, it does... the switch also triggers a signal in the brain to command you to be heavy footed on the gas pedal.

LOL.
Yup.
I get about .5 miles to the gallon with it on.


In all seriousness, no effect on gas mileage that I've noticed.

You crack me up!

Somewhere in the High Arctic, the polar bear saw the Mercedes technician quietly approach with the nozzle, and blanched. For generations, they held their own with the Inuit, but the white man's quest for a new energy source meant the struggle was lost....

Best I can tell so far, it's just controlling a signal to the rear muffler bypasses, nothing else. You would definitely see a difference in C vs. S vs. S+ simply due to the shifting points in automatic mode (C rushing to 9th, S seems to like 8th, and S+ seems to like whatever it damn well pleases)
