[Need more noise] Suggestions needed

Hi fam,

I have a 2016 c63s sedan with no OEM performance exhaust. The car is a bit too quite for me now, and I'm looking for options that can wake the beast up. It seems that downpipe plus a tune is the way to go, but I'm a bit worried about the warranty issue.

Would it be possible to provide any insights on options that I can choose now? Can cat-back exhaust alone do the job?

Also if you are in the Bay Area, and know any mod-friendly MB service manager, it would be great if you can kindly make a referral.

Thanks!

J

Running just a cat-back may disappoint you more. I did the FI Exhaust cat-back first and that alone was way more quiet than my stock exhaust. You'll be happier swapping out the downpipes. I'm running FI Exhaust cat-less downpipes and cat-back exhaust. Sounds way more of a beast.

As far as SF area. I can recommend Stance Lab.

Awe track, not to loud nice classy deep tone. Downpipes for me was WAY to obnoxious.

Secondary cat delete. The easiest mod you can do and like others have said about 20% louder.

AWE switchpath with valves open would fit the bill perfectly......I happen to have one for sale if you're interested.

Does the non-perf exhaust have valves?

If you have the non-perf exhaust, the Switchpath can be used with the valves unplugged.....as the valves stay open when not powered.
