None... just jibber jabber

Also they compared a sedan vs coupe which everyone knows pfl sedan is noticeably quieter than pfl coupe (as stated here & here)

If it was a pfl sedan vs fl sedan, or pfl coupe vs fl coupe this thread would have some merit

As stated in the third sentence of the thread: "Rather then getting into decibel meter screenshots and video sound clips that never really do any justice. I've decided on the cliff notes version."

Trying to gauge sound clips of exhaust is like trying to gauge color on a car manufacturer's configurator. Close but no cigar.

I'd be surprised if you actually even have a C63. It's okay to say you do even if you don't.

Wow didn’t know PFL coupe was louder than PFL sedan. Now we need a side by side comparison.

Quick update. I haven’t had time to do a decibel meter test yet, but I did drive for a bit last night. With the evm off, I got virtually no pops and bangs in sport+ or race. They return once the evm is switched back on.

What Kangaroo George failed to notice or mention is that was a 2015 sedan compared to a 2017 Coupe. 2017 is supposed to be the best year for the PFL as far as sound because of different MB software used in 2017. So a more fair and direct comparison would be a 2017 sedan versus a 2017 coupe. I suspect the difference would be marginal most likely at best anyways. In other words nothing to really write home about.

Hmmm that is interesting, I thought it doesn't affect that. Was the exhaust button on when you have the EVM off?

Sorry about that, I must had missed the sentence.
