GLC63 vs GLC63s engine sound

Hello,

does anyone know if the exhaust note is the same between the GLC63 vs the GLC63s?

From what I've seen (and heard), they seem pretty much the same but there might be a difference in the engine tuning that makes the 63s sound more agressive?

Thanks for your input.

The only difference is going to be putting the car in Race Mode. when revving will give it more crackle and pop. Its like revving the car with valves open in comfort and then doing the same in Sport+ mode. You get no pops when in Comfort Mode and valves open but in Sport+ you will get some.

There is a GLC 63S Coupe here in town and we were at Cars and Coffee last weekend together. The vehicles sounded identical in each mode, as we tried to find a difference.

To our ears (I've been in the performance exhaust manufacturing business for over a decade) there was no audible difference at all. No extra pops, no tonal difference, they were sonically identical in every way.
