I honestly wouldn't want a loud exhaust on a V6, even if it was a sports car. They sound like crap IMO, but to each his own, of course. I had a GTR, which had the best V6 sound I've heard, and still sounded like crap to me
. Inline 6s also don't sound good; only marginally better than a regular V6. The only V6 that sounds better than the last 2 is a 90º V6, which is rare, like the new Ferrari (which supplies Alfa Romeo) one. The only good sounding 6 cylinder engine, which also happens to be one of the best sounding engines IMO, is Porsche's flat 6, and on that one you absolutely need sport exhaust; sounds like a race car like that. Very exotic sound, loud enough, but not overly so. I'd leave the exhaust alone if I end up with an E400. And even if I get the C63 coupe, I'd not order the 'performance exhaust'. Sounds too raspy, and unrefined, and just doesn't go with the car IMO. The C63 with the regular exhaust I rented sounded incredible, super refined, with a deep, almost big-block tone. Yeah, not loud enough, but it just doesn't go with a luxury coupe IMO. But again, to each his own. Ha ha. My Porsche with sport exhaust will be my last car with a loud exhaust since I'll have to move 'downgrade' from sports cars to luxury coupes due to my wife not tolerating a stiff ride, excessive cabin noise, and not being able to recline her seat on trips. Oh well, but many things to gain too. And honestly, these coupes have all the performance we really need if we're honest about it. Take care.

I have looked around a lot and this is all I came up with. Looks like art and is pricey.

I don't think people are doing much of anything with these cars. It isn't really a tuner car and they don't handle that well as they are pretty heavy.

Not true, Renntech sells ECU for significant increase of both HP and torque for both engines, E400 and E550. Since mine is 2017 model, I cannot risk the warranty. Changing exhaust will not cause warranty issue. Changing ECU will definitely void warranty!

I will have to go with Flash here. 12.4 stock, 12.0 with just a tune ? Probably a dozen companies that offer a simple tune that makes 500 hp. I would not call these
sports cars, but will say they are luxury muscle cars. And the E coupe is not that heavy like the E sedan.
