2012 C63 exhaust

Hi,

I recently picked up a 2012 C63 wagon w/ PP in Palladium Silver.

** Pics to follow eventually when I'm done with some aesthetic exterior mods.... PROMISE!

Some questions

Does the exhaust get louder as it gets run in?

Does the exhaust get louder after break-in service?


Picked the car last friday with 20miles on the odometer and managed to clock an additional 160miles over the weekend.

Been baby-ing the car... no revs above 4000rpm and no speeding above 75mph... all in C mode

I'm at 2k miles and I feel like mine's louder.. It was always loud on cold start and high revs but seems louder through mid range.. I'm slacking as a sound engineer, I should have recorded levels when I got it to know for sure!!

The stock AMG C63 exhaust is one of the best sounding on the market only rivaled by the really high end exotics.

Have been told the exhaust in the wagons appears louder inside the car compared to the sedans and presumably coupe because the rear of the wagon acts as a sort of resonance chamber.

Obviously above 4k rpms the exhaust roars, but it's plenty loud stock. Throw on some headers and a kit and you'll be heard before you're seen

+1 This! Just drive with your rear seats down... One guy told me this on Friday. All I have to say is just do it and you'll see

Are you asking because you don't think it is loud enough now?

Just curious ... I've always thought the exhaust on the 2010 I have now isn't as loud (doesn't sound as good) as the 2009 I had previously. Wondering if it changes by model year/car.

I've gotten comments that the cold start of my old '09 scared the crap out of them when they were standing about 20 feet behind the car. Course it was a female who told me that so...take that with a grain of salt lol
