CLA 45 in Vancouver Canada

I just took delivery of my CLA45 last night. The car sounds awesome with AMG performance exhaust options. The popping sound on downshift can draw some attentions.

Damn it I think I picked the wrong color! I wanted NLV but from pictures that I saw I thought it looked too much like eggplant. From the looks of your pics it looks amazing! More pics in the daylight, I beg you!

Looks and Sounds Awesome! actually saw the video on youtube, not knowing whose care it was. I am happy with my choice for Performance Exhaust - cant wait to see it in person.

The performance exhaust sounds amazing in person when you first start the car, it has a growl and is surprisingly loud!

I was nervous ordering it as I'm past my bachelor years. Is it just the snap cackle and pop that isn't present in the standard exhaust. I want it to be noticeable but not fake or enhanced... Does it sound real?

I regret not getting the performance exhaust on the Porsche and there it was a very noticeable difference. I can hear my friend who had the performance exhaust coming home and leaving for work - where as mine without it just sounded good not great.

So I guess I'm making up for it here.

The sound is real.. not fake at all. It pops on every downshift in "S" or "M" mode.

I can honestly say, since I have a CLA 45 parked in my garage tonight with the AMG performance exhaust, it is nothing like a teenager loud fart can, it sounds very performance oriented. Granted it will never sound as smooth and rich as a V8, for an inline 4 it is pretty amazing. I too was a little nervous as I didn't want to sound like a d-bag driving down the street in a loud car, it is a Mercedes after all and still needs to act classy!

Thank you for explaining it. Can't wait to see it and hear it.
