Performance Exhaust Option for 2015-2016

Hi Everyone,

I'm in the market for a new sedan and am considering a used W205 C63S (2015-2016). A large part of the draw for me is the noise of the V8. I've read on several posts that the Performance Exhaust is an absolute must, and I know I will regret it. But I am having the hardest time finding this option on any used car. I've also been looking at the options list for those years and don't see it as an option. Can someone advise when this option was released on the C63 S, and whether or not it is a part of a package?

Thanks!

PE was a stand alone option on pre-facelift cars till 2018. 2019+ it became standard. I have a 2017 C63s without PE and am looking to get the AWE Switchpath exhaust prob sometime in the spring/summer.

Thanks! Was it an option on ever year prior to 2018? Like 2015 and 2016? I tried searching for a list of options in 2015 and 2016 and could not for the life of me find PE. Also haven't come across any used cars with that so I started to doubt whether it existed for those years.

BTW, what are you estimating as far as cost goes for the AWE with install? I've never gone through that before.

On my 2016 I have the PE as a stand alone option called "AMG Performance Exhaust System - w/button". Option code is U78.

Yea the PE was an option on 2015 and 2016 as well. As for the AWE, its $3950 with the remote (to turn valves on/off) plus labor (i figure $800?)
