Interesting point about the performance exhaust. Never thought of it that way however, I'm sure there's some downside to driving in sport 100% of the time (gas, tires, etc...maybe?). I thought you added that package to your build....no?

I like driving in sport more than comfort. There is a better throttle response. Yes it does use more gas but we don't buy these cars for good gas milage

No I never wanted it. Im going with an aftermarket exhaust.

I only drove the car with the Performance Exhaust. I would rather have that and not have to spend a ton on a aftermarket system.

2015 C63S
So MBUSA lied to us by saying "The all-new Mercedes-AMG C63 and C63 S arrive in March 2015."

I'm guessing it was a mistake because it appears to be May 2015 "arrives".

I personally prefer the standard rims on the C63s but both look nice

Since my car has yet to get an allocation I took the time to pile on some more options... I guess waiting gave me some time to think.

The performance Exhaust is louder than the stock exhaust. It also adds 3 flaps that will allow flow to change through the mufflers or not. If you have them in quiet mode it will sound like the stock exhaust. If you have it open it gets a lot louder.

that may be true - but the members here have also said the same thing about the exhaust as the dealer, that being it just adds flaps its not actually louder, whereas now he is saying - the performance exhaust is much louder then the stock one and that quiet mode on the performance exhaust is like the sound of the reg stock exhaust.

if this is true - i would buy the performance exhaust, but if it isn't any louder and just adds options to make it quieter and what not with the flaps, then for me i don't see the point of an performance exhaust as I would want it loud constantly.

I agree....the soul of this car is arguably the exhaust note. Why would they offer an option that would only make the car quiet -- and its called "Performance" exhaust. When I hear "Performance Exhaust" as an upgrade to the already beast note available, I think of something greater than the standard note, not less. Anyone with any literature / video links on this?

I am pretty sure that Chris Harris talked about the exhaust system in detail!
So unless the standard C63 and is getting an exhaust system with the 3 flaps then I don't see why we are even talking about this.

Did someone hear/read that the standard C63 is also getting the 3 flaps?

Waiting for 2017 E63 S 4MATIC
http://www.mercedes-amg.com/webspeci...ng#performance => "Explore" => "AMG Exhaust System"
AMG Two-mode Sports Exhaust System
From typical AMG to restrained, the sound of the AMG sports exhaust system adapts to the currently selected transmission mode by means of a variably adjustable exhaust flap. The electric exhaust flap is infinitely variably controlled across the entire engine speed range by means of maps stored in the transmission mode. A blip on the throttle (in transmission mode S) and a misfire (in transmission modes S+ and Race) emphasise the sporty characteristics of the particular transmission modes. An attractive look is ensured by two chrome-plated twin tailpipe trim elements.

AMG Performance Exhaust System
Two additional exhaust flaps allow for even greater differentiation of the sound characteristics. The sound characteristics of the AMG Performance Exhaust System are dependent on the currently selected transmission mode and fully adapt to the currently selected transmission mode by means of three variably adjustable exhaust flaps – from full-sounding in transmission modes C and S to emphatically sporty in transmission modes S+ and Race. Control of the exhaust flaps is dependent on both engine speed and load, guaranteeing a 100% power delivery. The driver can also change the sound characteristics at the press of a button. If desired, the cold start noise can be reduced in transmission modes C and S. This optional extra allows a maximum spread of the sound, from comfortable to highly emotive.
Performance exhaust flaps:
1. In the link tube (located in the front third of the exhaust)
2. Left loud route
3. Right loud route
Standard exhaust has only the flap in the link tube.

Performance exhaust has two routes (loud and quiet). Standard exhaust has only one route which is between loud and quiet (closer to loud).

Here's a real world example of the performance exhaust on the GT S. Scroll to the 1:50 mark.


Glad I opted for it.

I want to hear one for a non performance version now. I honestly feel like all the C63 videos sounded the same. I doubt they all had performance exhausts

If the exhaust was the same; there would not have been an upgrade available.
