Why don't other AMG's have the same exhaust note as the C63?

As the title of the thread states, why don't the other AMG models have the same exhaust note of the C63? I would imagine the exhaust setups would all be the same unless they are adding additional silencers to their other models. There is a video on youtube of a CLS63 with an aftermarket exhaust and it still doesn't come close to the C63.

Bascially because they won't them too. A S or CL63 would offend some owners if they sounded like a C63. There are lot of tricks they use to make one application sound a certain way or silence another. It is very intentional. Different exhausts would be my guess and the tunning of it.

I agree, I'm sure most AMG S, CL, or SL owners like fast cars. However, I dont think they want a car that roars that loud.

I wonder if the new CLK will sound more like the C63 or just be another weak exhaust note?

on an only vaguely related note, wouldn't it be cool if, like porsche, mb put little audio clips of each car's engine roar or exhaust note on its web site? those porsche folks sure know how to deliver answers to interested customers' questions! by comparison the mercedes usa web site, not so much.

Porsche does put audio clips of their cars on their website.
