I can confirm after the break in period in sport +, the 2025 G63 exhaust is too subtle compared to my 2020 G63.

it sucks big time!!!

did anyone try to install the valve controller to keep the valve 100% open? is it any good?

I tried it all. Still doesn’t sound as good as pre 2025.


I contacted asr-component and they confirmed they value controller works with W465.

It's a new thing with MB to make the exhaust quiet on new model AMGs. Maybe the anti-sound lobby got to them. I have a 21 G63 which is not the loudest but the exhaust on 2024 GLS63 and 24 S63 truly sucks. I went the route of downpipes on both. I'm thinking of doing the same on the G63.

Now that I've gotten a few hundred miles after break in and driving S+ exclusively, I see what everybody is saying. It's definitely different but not horrible to me. I like that it seems easier to have it burble and pop, and when it does that on downshifts when braking, I love it.

Yes it's not as loud but not a deal breaker. The improvements in the 2025 to me far outweigh the exhaust changes.

Hi @Hodog16 . I love your new G63 specs and am eagerly anticipating further reviews once you get more miles under you. I agree with 99.9% of all your expertise and comments on this board, but not on the '25 G63 exhaust note. Perhaps my ears are just more sensitive. I had to forgo the trade-in upgrade as, in my humble opinion, the '25 G63 lost a bit of its soul due to its lack of exhaust sound - in spite of all the tech upgrades. Unlike your experience, I couldn't get any "burbles" or "pops" when I drove and pushed the '25. It sounded too much like a sedan which, at least for me, felt weird in a G63... Nevertheless, I totally understand your decision.

My guess is that the '25 exhaust had to be detuned/retuned to meet EU standards, and MB got lazy and made the slightest adjustments on the ones that made it to the US?

ASR is who makes those modules that RENNtech simply put their brand on it per licensing.

not sure if the G-wagen will ever get it, but the flat-plane V8 (if you heard it from the GT 63 Black Series) sounds very muted, unlike say the American flat-planes.

I fully agree downpipes is the way to go, the sound and the roar is what really brings out the character of the G 63 it is almost silly (in a good way).

It should automatically set to powerful whenever you engage sport+ though?

the powerful mode is not powerful enough to enjoy the exhaust note even in race start!

Played with it some today--if you get it up to 5000-6000 RPM that's when I can get it to pop and burble. Usually going from 20 to 50/60 quickly. Then when slowing when downshifting it'll burble a little bit.

It's different but I'm happy with it.

Try hitting that RPM and abruptly cut the throttle by quickly removing the foot off the accelerator, it might create the noises as well.

Yes exactly! It's when I come off the throttle because I'm at the speed I want that it happens.

At the right timing of both RPM and throttle input, it makes a loud bang as well so that was pretty cool.

How did you managed to get them to ship to the USA, I mean they specifically said they respect their licensing and relationship with RENNTech last time in their email when we inquired about why they don't ship to North America.
