C43 performance exhaust noise level in Comfort or ECO mode
Hi All,
Currently we have a C300 4matic and we are planning to get a C43 with performance exhaust (getting it a excellent lease price). This car would be used by me and my wife (primarily by her. She drives 60 miles each day to work in bumper to bumper traffic). Unfortunately i didn't get a chance to test drive the performance exhaust vehicle but i drove a C43 with the standard exhaust.
When driving the standard exhaust vehicle in comfort and Eco mode the exhaust didn't make no noise and i felt the experience similar to driving our C300. However the exhaust opened up a little when i changed it to the sport+ mode.
My question is how much noise will a performance exhaust produce in Eco or Comfort mode? Since we are both planning to drive the car and she drives it as her primary vehicle, i wouldn't want to her to experience any noise level during her commute to work. Based on the feedback i will go with a regular or performance exhaust.

Currently i am getting it for $510 without MSD's and there is still room for negotiation. If the dealer can decrease the selling price much further i can get it for $480. It being the end of month i am hopeful they can come down to the price that i am looking for.

The exhaust button can be turned on or off. in low rpms with the exhaust button off, it wont sound like anything. The car will be basically silent in eco mode and low rpms even if the exhaust button IS on.

c43 with pe exhaust is very quiet in eco comfort and sport. sport plus is only time it opens valves and you will get drone if left open on highway. But with valves closed you wouldnt even know you have power. it is a must have option.

I disagree. In eco and comfort mode there is a noticable increase in sound when you manually activate the performance exhaust. You can hear the difference in the cabin and outside. In eco or comfort the engine is quiet as it should be, but there is no doubt that combining those two modes with the activated PE gives off a sportier sound. RPM stay lower and there is less drone, but the there is a difference for sure.
However, once you get to Sport the sound with PE escalates significantly and with Sport + the sound is enough to draw serious attention on the road, for better or for worse.
I tend to open the PE exhaust in comfort and eco for some additional note from the engine.
But for the perf exhaust, there is no reason to just not get a C300.

You can even use individual mode and turn on all the sport features if you wish except exhaust.
