Sport Exhaust option
I've been looking & considering GLB35 AMG for a while.
Finally, I'm about to pull the trigger and put a order together.

I noticed that "Sports Exhaust" option is not a part of Ordering Guide.

Question:
Wasn't "Sports Exhaust" option there before?
or is it just me falsely remembering it? For my other AMG orders, there's def "sport exhaust" as one of the options.

help~

I might be wrong but I thought it is standard on the GLB 35.

It's a standard. Have you had the chance to drive one yet? They are a ton of fun for what they are.

for some reason, I thought it was one of the options.
on my GLS63 AMG and GT 4 door, it was extra cost options.

Thank you for the info.

Good to confirm that this feature is standard. that's awesome.
I'd love to test drive one before ordering. but no dealers have one in stock, available to drive.
the few GLB35s they have, it's sold already for pre-order. haha. crazy market.

Are you willing to commute, depending on where you are, your nearby states might have some in stock although might be quite a travel.

To be fair I am not surprised you think that way, Mercedes likes to charge for many features/options.

Are you with a dealership in Cincy?
if so, I'd love to pick your brain about GLB35 order.

2021 Glb35 AMG (2013 GLK 350)
I don't know what sport exhaust mode option is, but my base GLK350 with 6 cylinder was louder than GLB35 4 cylinder engine with similar HP. Instead GLB limits the exterior exhaust noise and gives that noise inside with a microphone, which I don't like to hear that inside the cabin. You can check the posts below as some posters are trying to remove the interior sport noise or add exterior exhaust noise I recommend you do a test drive to hear it. Otherwise you can adjust it later... You can check as there are/were couple new GLB35s in Alexandria, Arlington, Bethesda and Germantown dealers...

To be fair, you can't really compare a V6 to an inline 4, an inline 4 can never sound as loud as a V6 in stock form. The previous gen M133 inline 4 (in the C117 CLA 45) did come close though but that is because there were no sound regulations or OPFs.

Does the non-AMG GLB pipe exhaust sound through the speakers? I'm a W204 C63 owner, so whatever "sport exhaust" comes on a GLB would be joke by comparison.

Yes, both GLBs have that with no option to disable it:
