All the comments that says it doesnt sound the same becuase of ECU etc are incorrect. I sounds exactly the same.

This is so interesting... Im literally in the same boat. I bought a c43 non-PE car a couple weeks ago. Silly me, it was a dealer trade, so I didnt take into account PE necessarily. It was the color spec and wheels I wanted, so boom, I bought the car literally in a Starbucks parking lot, site-un-seen... Stupid, but it happened! Now, im indifferent to the whole thing. Find a c63 that has what I want or stick with my incredible C43 and put some $$$ into a couple little things to make it more meaty and have more guts. Because its later in the model year, I may just do that and keep my eye out for 2020 deals that arise, but nonetheless, I love my car, just wish it had more sound effects!

Hi Stevolee

I live in Taiwan and a "basic" C43 AMG model is about USD 113,000 depends on how you negotiate. (Thanks to import tax)
I am an owner of 2018 C43. In the beginning I was so struggle on the PE option and finally gave up PE because of narrow streets and close neighborhoods... I don't want the car too loud. I figured Hong Kong probably the same.
360+ HP is a waste here. That's also why I did not go for a C63 neither.

I am from Hong Kong. My car did not equip with PE as I thought it is unnecessary and silly thing. Having imagined how the PE sound would be for long, I finally retrofitted the PE. No regret at all. It worth every penny because it makes my car totally different. Anyone underestimate C43 and went up against me, I just floor on the gas,.... the terrify sound will speak for itself....
