2020 performance exhaust Vs 2018-2019

Has anyone compared performed exhausts between 2020 and earlier versions? Curious what effect new EU regulations made.

I believe an OPF/PPF has been added to EU and North American variants and probably some ECU changes to reduce noise (to all variants) to comply with WLTP regs.

I think the 2020 performance exhaust on the 43 is different to the pre-facelift versions. You can see some pictures I took of the facelift exhaust here: https://mbworld.org/forums/glc43-glc...-pictures.html

OP, hold on to your prefacelift model as the sound is noticeably different. Also added in many models an in cabin synthetic sound of engine, which imo is a miserable compromise!
