Hesitation in 3rd partial throttle

Hi All,

I recently rebuilt my intake manifold with the aluminium throttle body plate. It had a crack in the old one so definitely worth while.

Since I put it all back together, I've been getting this weird hesitation (hard enough that your head will move forward) in 3rd when on partial throttle, it's not every time but it's quite repeatable, if I go WOT it's perfect.

- Here's a video, you'll see how the revs drop off (and it makes a few bangs), this was with constant throttle I didn't lift off.

Any idea where I could start looking? No codes and no CEL.

Does it sound like the exhaust is missing? -

I saw this thread which sounds really similar, but seems to be varying things to check: https://mbworld.org/forums/c63-amg-w...esitation.html

I should say, stock air filters and in the last 8,000kms (12 months) it's had new spark plugs, injectors, coil packs and PCV. Fuel is 98 RON (93 octane in US).
