I kinda have to wake mine up. If I drive normal for a while it doesn't do it at first when I start getting on it, but then it wakes up and keeps doing it. It seems to adapt to the driving style.

 

I own a 2017 C63S and it's substantially louder and more dramatic than the above youtube video

 

Yes… @superswiss mentioned this a few times. I drove my ‘21 pretty aggressively after the 1k break in period and I seldom heard any exhaust theatrics until I sold it @5k mikes. Maybe it needed to get past 8-10k miles before the sound became more pronounced and pops & bangs more regular. This one pops and bangs like crazy even at slow speeds. I’ll try to take some better videos when I get it back from PPF next weekend. And if someone local has another FL, I’d love to compare them side by side.

 

My bad then I must have missed it, sorry about that.

 

Yeah mine opened up significantly at around 10k miles. Got noticeably faster, too. They may have changed the break-in profile. Also wanted to add I drove EU spec '22 coupes at two separate ADA events in Germany and Austria in the last 12 months. With the GPF they are a tad quieter and with drifting there's not a lot of overrun, so pops and bangs were not much.

 

Thats good to know. I’m curious for someone who owns the FE to post a video as it’s supposedly been confirmed to have the PFL sound. Does yours sound louder than the 2019 press car or the same? Other non-FE members have also commented on their cars sounding louder than other FL’s, but no other 2023 owner has posted a sound video yet. It’s possible our 2023’s are louder than normal FL’s but not quite as loud as PFL’s. This is all giving me a headache, I need to go out for a run!

 

That would be a very plausible explanation for the sound I’m hearing and also why it feels considerably faster than my ‘21. Maybe they dropped that ~10k milestone mark to unlock those goodies down to 0 miles. I’m totally good with this sound even if doesn’t open up any further like yours did past 10k because it sounds a hell of a lot better than my ‘21, when I wasn’t even expecting it to.

 

Definitely go out for a run and really enjoy the car!

 

Thanks bro, today my beast goes in for tint and full stealth PPF so I'll finally be able to enjoy it after all that's done. I'll post pics of the finished product next weekend.

 

Placebo. My FL sounds exactly the same.

 

What's the mileage on your FL?

 

NIce!

 

I'm sure that most of you have probably viewed the link below of how the PFL sounds.


How do the 2023 FE and non-FE compare to it?
