The sweet, sweet sound of downpipes + tune

Just got my 2016 GT S back from my tuner (Modern Mercedes Repair in Farmers Branch, TX - highly recommend these guys, they're awesome) and I'm in love with the way this thing sounds 😍

I was trying to find short videos of what the exhaust would sound like with the downpipes and tune all day and had a hard time finding anything other than 15 minute installation videos, so I decided to solve the problem myself. Enjoy!

The sound is nice, the pops and crackles I can do without.

Thank goodness it's not your car, then.

Thanks! I feel the same way, I love them - music to my ears! I can still turn off the active exhaust to not bug the neighbors or draw unnecessary attention around police 😅

Ouch. Thankfully we don't have that issue where I'm at, or I'd get ticketed often.

Cold starts are a bit loud but neighbors haven’t complained yet.

I used project gamma downpipes on my GTR aswell.. they were the only ones that made 4” pipes compared to 3” by renntech and was fraction of the price aswell

Yep, same here. 4” and gorgeous ceramic coating for less than many. Combined with this DME Tune it is a different car.
