2019 C43 coupe
Air/Hissing noise

I just purchased a 2019 C43 coupe with the AMG performance exhaust last week. When I accelerate, the vehicle makes a loud hissing noise. Kinda like air is being blown out of the side. It’s very loud, and doesn’t sound normal. Also, I feel like the car is not accelerating as quick as it should. Honestly seems a little slow... Any idea what this may be?

Same thing is happening to me, I took it to the dealership to get it checked out and they said everything seems normal. Which is BS to me because, I don’t feel strong acceleration and I shouldn’t have trouble overtaking a freaking Honda on the highway.

When I first got the car I didn’t experience any of that, so it doesn’t matter if it’s turbocharge or not, our cars come with 385-89 hp I shouldn’t have to struggle to over take a slow vehicle on the next lane.

Agreed (which is why I deleted my comment). The loss of power would indicate something else, would take to dealer as the others have suggested. Let us know if they figure out what the issue is!

Yea bud I don’t want to sound like a douche, but I clearly stated on the earlier post that I went to the dealership and they stated everything seems normal.
