GLE 43 AMG Exhaust Sound Difference

Hi there,

Over the last couple of months, I have had two different 2018 GLE 43 AMG’s as loaners while I wait for my car (long story). The first one had 4,000 miles and the second one had 12,000 miles. When I picked up the second one, I noticed immediately that the exhaust was quite a bit louder and it sounded a lot better than the first vehicle. Is this normal? Do these vehicles become that much louder over time?

just curious....

I had a GLC43 and the exhaust note got louder over time and the "burbles" increased, assume it is the same on the GLE. It is one thing I miss on the 450.

Driving in Sport+ will make a difference too. Now that I think about it, I'll see if there's a difference with fuel choice. I use Chevron 94 or Shell V-Power NiTRO+ (91 Octane). I recently filled with Chevron and it seemed to sound more hardcore with Chevron, but that could just be in my head.
