I think its petty and a person would have to be insecure to do that.

I didnt expect to cause an argument here, FYI I think my car is perfect lol.
Oh and I dont care what anyone says its an AMG. Mind you I didnt get it for that reason, I got it because it ticked all the right boxes for me. I call it an AMG sports car and dont really care what anyone says. With that said if it was just called a C43 or C450 I still would have bought it.
The reason I started the thread was because the shape/interior of the coupe and sedan in particular has been criticized by some and loved by others.
Mercedes Hyper car is an AMG car but not a one man one engine car too.
Highly recommend anyone that loves their C43 to watch the below youtube clip. It all but confirmed why I chose this car.

Im sorry to hear that mate wasnt my intention. Is there an option to have an aftermarket one? I have heard armytrix and they sound better. Ironically if I didnt have the PE I would have got this one.

Yeah I've been considering an aftermarket one but I'm not totally sure that it's worth it. None of the aftermarket ones seem to sound as good at the stock PE, but I haven't heard any of them in person. It's not a huge deal though, I'll just have to keep that in mind when it's time to upgrade.
If you are going to upgrade it soon, then dont bother, waste of money.

Using "1 man 1 engine" as what constitutes if it is an AMG or not is laughable. If AMG saw fit to put an AMG badge on it, then it is an AMG.
I wonder if the same people would think that Nike's weren't Nike's if they weren't sewn together by hand by kids in China. 1 kid 1 Nike

I have a 18 C43, With the Performance exhaust option. When i bought it off the lot, all The C43s in stock at the time had it. I somehow thought all the C43's had it. Needless to say, I love the car, interior, exterior, the sound , everything about it !!!

At least with the C43 it comes with everything as standard in Australia when buying off the lot.

This is where all the anger stems from. Cletus. They have 1 man 1 engine, we have Cletus, one man and his pig. I know whom I'd like as my mascot.

Im not justifying the purchase. I saw all these comments before I purchased the car. Im just curious about the hate. The AMG aspect to be honest is irrelevant to me, I dont care about that part. That wasnt the reason I raised the issue.
Just curious about the comments. Mind you I read comments about the Cayman being disliked and what I found from deeper looking into it, was that a lot of it was a result of people never even sitting in one. I guess the same may apply to the C43.

The world is full of arm chair QBs who have something to say about every car in existence. The C43 surely isn't alone in "hatred" of it. Half are just trolls trying to get a rise.

If their are no actual mechanical benefits to "1 man 1 engine" than it is simply marketing regardless of if it's a fact or not... just like the statement "made in the USA"
By the way... the c43 is what's being discussed and the fact that it's criticized and called a fake because the engine is factory built despite all the AMG parts, tuning, etc... maybe you should read and comprehend what that other member posted as he was not "complaining" about AMG... He was making comparison's just as I was doing with the Project One which also has a factory built engine...

Personally I dont care if anybdy considers it a real amg or whatever. I am just pointing out the ridiculousness of the grips of certain clown members (such as yourself) that demonstrate such a level of insecurity that you guys need to come to OUR forum to say you dont like us. Good job.

I am a huge advocate for the aftermarket exhaust systems, that is why I did not check the PE exhaust option box, I never got the concept of pushing a button and having the car louder, it should always be loud- that is what AMG is all about! Designed to offend and scare the **** out of people.

that' like changing BOSE speakers with aftermarket speakers. aftermarket speakers might be louder but sound quality is not the same.

That is exactly the reason I installed my Performance aftermarket Exhaust, to make it sound better and to me it sounds 10x better than the stock, non PE exhaust I had. I would not consider the non PE exhaust to be the "AMG sound" either. For $1500 AWE better have a pretty good sounding exhaust or nobody would buy it. Most of the sound is coming from the turbo's and the engine anyway, the free flowing exhaust just lets that sound come through more.

Who cares? If you like what you drive, don't give two ****s about what anyone else thinks about it. You're all acting like a bunch of insecure high school kids. Nobody cares what the badge on your trunk says, unless that's the only way you find value in your existence.

Do yourself a favor, go listen to some real audio gear and leave the Bose behind. They only offer over priced, style over substance speakers that only sell well because they dump half of their budget on marketing. (Always remember B.O.S.E. = Buy Other Sound Equipment)
**There is one exception, noice canceling headphones. Those you might as well get the Bose ones because they have the best noise canceling functionality, but then again if you are looking for noise canceling its always going to affect the audio quality (since you are asking the speakers to perform two jobs at once) anyways. Which basically brings down all others to about the same level.

I have an AWE Touring exhaust with BMC air filter and it sounds awesome, in my opinion better than the AMG exhaust which I opted out of because I wanted the aftermarket exhaust. Main reason being that it gives a performance advantage over the PE exhaust, MB states in no literature that the PE exhaust gives any addes horsepower. Also who cares about a button that you push that makes the car louder, thats just silly, my exhaust is sounding performance all the time and is loud as hell when I am into the throttle heavy, literally scares the **** out of people in other cars and on the side of the road, but quieter at lower rpm and idle. I believe it is built better than the MB exhaust as well, its not cheap at $1500 but looks like a piece of jewelery- all polished stainless and its much lighter than stock. It was a very noticable performance improvement over stock- and you never have to be concerned with actuator valves failing ![thumbs](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)

Do you experience any unwanted noises in the cabin since installing the aftermarket exhaust since it's louder? Rattles or vibrations or anything like that? The exhaust is something I'm seriously considering, it just comes down to deciding how long I'll be keeping the car and finding the right setup.
My exhaust is relatively quite until you dig into the gas pedal a bit then waaaboom!!! It screams like a raped ape, sound amazing awesome, pure power. Never any drones or unpleasant sounds
My installer dropped my original exhaust off at my home and it is stored in my basement, in case I sell the car or trade it.
