No Perf Exaust worth buying?

I have PE on my '19 C43. I like the sound of the exhaust but really hate the pops and crackles, which are pretty much present whenever the car is driven even moderately hard in Sport or Sport+. I agree that it'll be good for resale, though. I wish there was a tune I could do to eliminate the pops and crackles, but keep the tone and the on/off valve.

I will agree that it's probably a good option to have for resale but I ordered a Green car with the Performance seats so obviously resale value isn't high on my priority list!

this is ridiculous and quite sad this is what we are coming to in the automotive world...... exhaust button and hear it through the speakers instead of the actual sound of the car..... only a matter of time until we are all be forced to drive soundless electric cars anyway, enjoy what we can now!

Hi OP.
I bought the car without PE because car was very very cheap.
I did the retrofit, very easy if you find a PE off a wrecked car just bolt it up.

My valves are open 24/7 as I have no control over them and love the sound. It is not loud in comfort but when in sports+ alot of pops crackles and bang on great shift good for when you are going on a spirited drive.
Before the exhaust the car did not feel like AMG but thats my opinion, I suggest getting car with PE especially if you can just close the valves.
