GLE400 Coupe Exhaust System upgrade

I have a 2017 GLE400 coupe and is looking for an exhaust system upgrade, such as the iPE or Armytrix, basically looking for some deeper tone with pops and crackles like those on AMG series.

I have very little knowledge on exhaust system and how those pops existed on some cars, Would be greatly appreciated if any forum members here can give some advise.

thanks.

I think you need an engine tune to get pops bangs and crackles. It’s additional squirts of fuel that is unburned in the engine and is burned explosively downstream in the exhaust.

For the exhaust system, install an AMG GLE43 coupe system with custom tubes (if needed) to hook up to the manifolds.

Hmm, i wonder if its possible for engine tune to get the pop bangs and crackles... can't seem to find any info on this, and it seems that there aren't many optional exhaust system other than Armytrix, I have also been thinking of fitting an AMG GLE43 exhaust, maybe second hand but not sure if it will give pop bangs and crackles... i remember reading somewhere that its coming from the engine instead of exhaust... but strange thing is that in my country, those motorbikes can shoot really really loud bangs, and that makes me scratch my head

I wish I could get rid of all those crackles and pops and just have a full throated roar or growl

Cheapest is to delete the resinator. For the crackle and pop you need a tune.

Tune with a little more rich mixture of fuel. That is done through the ECU. That why a tune is needed to achieve this.

I saw an add where tuners program the snap, crackle, and pop in the ECU for an extra $200 on top of the G-ball for the performance tune.
