Will an oem exhaust system from 2016 C63s fit a 2017 C43?
I found an original system from a c63s and wanted to know if it would fit a c43 (non performance exhaust) and if it would even be worth it? I wanted to obtain a better exhaust note like that of the c43 with the performance exhaust.
I know i should have bought the car with it already but it was the last one and got a great deal on it.
Any input will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

If you take a good look under both cars, you will find the drive line is positioned differently. The rear suspension might also have clearance issues.
I am driving a c450 (same exhaust as the nonPE C43) I changed out for AWE Track. The sound is as good as any performance by (except the Jaguar F Type), but there is drone at highway RPMs. The AWE with the rear resos solve that problem. Good luck.

The 63 is a V8, so prob not. Also the 63 is longer and wider than the 43. Also since the gearbox is a 7speed, so the undercarriage is probably different. Im think the dimensions/bends/width of the piping probably would not fit on a 43.

I'd go as far to guess that the whole rear systems (basically the axle-back) would be identical. Maybe the piping diameter and/or the mufflers are slightly different, but the mounting points for the hangers would surely be the same across all C models.
It would likely be a pointless endeavor though. Because to be able to use the valves, you'd need to have a c43 with the PE, and I doubt there would be any worthwhile sound or performance gains between the 63 exhaust and the 43's performance exhaust.... If it was cheap and included the tips and diffuser then that would be one thing, but as far as the functional exhaust (the small portion that might fit) underneath, there's likely no real advantage in doing so
