Exhaust Sounds on 2019 C63S

Hey Guys,

just recently got my C63S Sedan (last week) and currently going through the BreakIn period. I have 80 miles on the car so far. When i put it in S+ mode with the Exhaust On, there is no Popping,Cracking sound coming out of exhaust. Even My GLE 43 AMG had those loud Bangs when you would down **** or just let the gas pedal go. I would not need to get my GLE to high RPM for it to make that sound, just needed to be in S+ Mode. Do you think this could be because of the Break In Period at this point?

Based on memory from a 2017 C63, the overrun sounds only come on in the higher revs (even in S+). So far I haven't noticed any pops from my 2019 either but I've only driven in C w/ exhaust on. Have not babied it though.

I would have to disagree. I have a 2017 C63S and it makes those pop and crackle sounds even in lower rpms in Sport+

The one I drove did NOT have the Performance Exhaust and was a non-S. I probably should've mentioned that...

Also not sure where David is located, but if in Europe it very likely has to do with the new particle filter in the EU cars now.

Agree. I have about 2k miles on my 2019 and have barely heard any cracks, pops, etc. I’m in the US and haven’t really babied the car. It’s definitely loud, but I was expecting more pops.

Understood! Thank you so much for your response!!! I’ve put mine on S+ mode already a couple I times, but I didn’t do anything crazy, didn’t floor it or anything. So hopefully that’s fine, cause only afterwards I read that you should not drive in any mode other that C. Do you think this may cause some issues down the road?

I am in US. I’m really hoping that those pops will eventually appear. How come all the exhaust videos on YouTube of 2019 specifically have those pops?

I'm currently in my break-in period, too (about 450 miles on the odometer) and hadn't noticed many crackles/pops, so I put it into Race mode and it sounded as expected. I'm hoping it will be more noticeable after the break-in period.

I had plenty of pops with my 2018 during break-in in S+ mode, of course. Maybe they decided to make the car just a tad more civilized.

Same for me: pops aplenty, especially on downshifts. I always drive in S+ mode and mine is amC63S with performance exhaust. Indeed, maybe they decided to tone it down a bit.

I really hope that is not the case lol! No Civilized people drive C63S AMG lol 😃

here is the video that I was referring to -

please pay attention to the 2019 (Grey) C63S specifically. I didn’t rev it up so high, but you can still hear pops on lower RPM, I don’t have sounds even close to that...

Same here. I had pops since day one, mine is 2018.

Bit I thought it was assumed by all that they have indeed tone it down...

Thank you for your response! IF you look at the video attached above, they clearly haven’t... still just as loud and with pops... just a different sound tone due to the filter. Great job btw from AMG for keeping amazing sounds with all of these regulations.

I didn’t think there was a sound difference between s+ & race mode?

if you let your vehicle get through the run in period , my prediction is the engine management software will start giving you all the fireworks you desire after this point . At 10k miles, my 2018 is lethal on the rice krispies (snap crackle and pops )but wasn't early on . also when the engine is cold for me at 10k miles it doesn't snap crackle much at all but once it warms up, it is like a new years fireworks display...

I just picked up my 2019 C63s about 2 weeks ago and still in the break in period as well. Just FYI for those interested....during the break in period (first 1000 miles), the manual recommends you do the following:

1) Do not go over 85 mph
2) Do not go over 4500 rpm
3) Only keep it in comfort mode, not S or S+
4) Do not manually downshift ( let the car do it on its own)

It's killing me to abide by these rules, but want to take care of this engine.

C63s coupe 2019
2500 miles and car broken into but still same ****

hi everyone I’m new here but I was following the forum for a while now , I’m probably the first to receive my C63s coupe in the US on dec 1 and now I have 2600 miles on it and I had this problem with exhaust sound since day one and gave it to the dealer twice to check it but no clue ... the told me wait to break it I followed the guidelines correct and been dying to go faster or play with it but no I was a good kid ... did the defrantial oil change after 2000 miles and was told it should be good to push it now but still no crackles or pops at all even a c43 would crackle next to me on a traffic light and I won’t I don’t know what’s the situation but they ****ed it up ... any solution like muffler delete or something anyone could recommend let me know and for those who are waiting for it to break I’m sorry to say it won’t change a bit
