Trade in 19 c63s Coupe for 19 GT C Coupe? Worth it?
hey guys, i bought a 19 c63s coupe last year and was SO disappointed with the lack of pops and crackles I was expecting. I found a brand new 19 GT C and am supposed to pick it up tomorrow but I can't find many reviews on the car that mention the exhaust and if it has that beautiful AMG character that the c63s was lacking. Does the 19 have the great pops and crackles on downshift that the 19 c63s was severely lacking?
I really appreciate the assistance. I dont wanna be disappointed again like I was with the c class.
Thanks guys!

The 19 has lots of pops and crackles, the 20 gets neutered! It’s a very different animal compared to the C63. You’ll love it if you enjoy driving a car not a soulless computerized simulation!

Yeah, in sport or sport plus it makes lots of pops and crackles on upshifts and when you let off the gas quickly. In comfort is is neighborhood friendly! You also get rear wheel steering with the GTC and a true DCT.

I've had both and if all you're looking for is exhaust pops you are absolutely wasting your money. They pop and crackle almost the same - certainly not enough to make a change - makes no sense.

Looking for more performance as well but the 19 c63s was a huge disappointment sound wise compared to all other years.. I am just trying to make sure thats not the case with all 19 AMG and was confined to the c63. The 503 hp c63 to the 553 hp GTC means its a more tuned motor and i am hoping that equates to a sound more synonymous with AMG of the past.

If that is 90% of your motivation save your money and buy a cat back set up from Meisterschaft. It's your money but if it were mine, I wouldn't do it for that. The C63S is a good car and the GT -C has a bunch of benefits over it, but exhaust isn't really one of them

In your original post you said you had an C63S (it's also the one with the 553 HP) - they have the sport exhaust - the non-S like you just noted doesn't - there will be a material change from that. Still doesn't make sense as your primary motivator though; not enough to trade in on and expect a $$$ difference. There is a bunch of other reasons to consider a trade but IMHO zero of them should be for the exhaust note.

No, there are not many of the 19 coupe reviews specifically at all. I've searched YouTube, internet, forums so I thought I'd ask here, only to have you waste my time with your worthless, presumptuous response as stated earlier.

but if it was me, i would keep the 2019 c63s. just downpipe it, tune it, and change the exhaust system. your should have it louder that stock and lots of crackles. even with the 2020 AMG GTR, GTS, GTC, AMG GTR PRO whatever version there is. its going to sound muted and have less or barley any crackles during down shifts. and this goes for mercedes, audi, lamborghini. i would recommend FI exhaust and down pipes. and personally i believe c63s can have a lot of fun and less worries too. cheaper on insurance, but i think money is not your concern. and its a nice looking rear wheel car.

For the https://www.active-sound.eu/en/merce...-valve-control module ...
I got this for my GTC and I love it. When I start the car, I immediately switch from C to I mode to get the full open exhaust sound. Someone on this forum thought that would be annoying to do, but not annoying to use other exhaust options where you have to push a button on a fob to get full exhaust sound.
This is a great option if you want to keep your mods easily reversible.
