performance exhaust

My 2015 c63 s has a exhaust button on the center console. Does this indicate that it has the performance exhaust? Or do they all have this button regardless?

You get the button only when you have upgraded performance exhaust. Do you see a red light when you hit it? Do you hear a difference in the sound? Those are your main ques that you do. I suppose if it's a mbs mistake you won't hear a difference.
This option is presented as a sound improvement only and not an actual change in the performance of the car.

Seconded on cyberorth. You'll only see that if you have the upgraded package - and it'll make a huge difference in sound!

Enjoy and welcome!

Performance exhaust.

Thank you both for your responses. Yes I have noticed the button and the affect it does have on the sound! I had searched my dealer paperwork and it doesn't say any option for the performance exhaust. This is why I was wondering if even the normal exhaust had the same button and affect albeit at a lower level that would be available for the upgraded performance exhaust.
Maybe the performance exhaust is standard coming into Canada?

Thanks again!

Performance exhaust is standard for the Australian market. Might be the same in your case...

If you don't have the Performance Exhaust option, that button is instead an On/Off switch for the COMAND system.

I don't have the performance exhaust option but I know the AWE exhaust I purchased will do the trick.

One of the coolest things about the performance exhaust is being able to get the agressive exhaust note even while rollin in Comfort mode. Economy and sound!

If you're in Canada like you indicated, then the performance exhaust is standard on all C63s models. It is the exact same exhaust that is optional in the US market.

In my wonderful country there is basically no standard equipment. I get to pay for it all, so thoughtful of Mercedes!
