How to get Pops & Crackles on New AMG GLE 53 Coupe
Hey everyone, I recent purchased a 2021 AMG GLE 53 Coupe, I have the performance exhaust, but I wanted to know how do I get those nice pops & crackles. I have it in sport + with exhaust on powerful. I hear some muffled crackles, but nothing like in some of the YouTube videos I've seen with other GLE Coupe's. (And yes, I know some people have modified their exhaust, but I'm not talking about those,) My car is spanking new and I just hit 1000 miles so I was able to put it in sport +, but is there something I need to do to get those nice pops and crackles? Im new to this forum but I figured this would be a great place to ask.

Ok great I'm going to try that. But I have also seen videos with the car parked and they would rev the engine and you would hear the pops and crackles then as well so curious why im not getting the same results?

Mine seems to do this in the garage. Are you sure you have the exhaust open? I set it all up so when I select my Individual setting, exhaust is open and I am in Sport + mode.

Yup Im in sport + with open exhaust. Is there a certain rpm I need to be at to hear it more? My car is new, and I only have 1020 miles on it, so not sure if that matters, in regards to breaking in the engine?

I have about the same mileage on mine. I just went out to get groceries and got aggressive with the gas pedal in the garage and it definitely cracks and pops. My neighbor looked over to see what I was doing so it got his attention.

I just spoke to my sales guy at MB and he said Im not aggressive enough. He said I need to get more aggressive with the pedal. I will take it out again and get a little more crazy. I not skilled enough to drive with the pedal shifters so I won't venture in that world yet, don't want to mess up my engine.

Would it be possible to send me a quick video of your exhaust making the pops and crackles while parked? It would be really helpful to compare to mine and if anything I could show this to my dealer for comparison.

Exactly. First make sure the vehicle is in individual-dynamic mode (or sport +) with the exhaust on powerful. Second, drive the heck out of it. The transmission and ECU need to adapt to how you get on the pedal and you actually have to step on it to 4500 rpm’s (in 3rd or 4th) then let off of gas fast to get it to learn. I actually had to redo this after I ran out of fuel and my check engine light went on. I believe the ECU reset or the car had a wtf moment. The vehicle stopped the downshift pops and crackles for 3-4 weeks. After driving the sh** out of it and a few driving (learning) cycles, it came back. Now whenever I rev or downshift in any gear I get the pops and crackles. They never disappeared on the upshift only on the down.

Interesting, I just got my pre-owned 2021 GLE63 (4,000 miles) about 6 weeks ago and the first couple of weeks when I was showing off the exhaust sound, I got the pops and crackles. I was once again showing off to another friend last week and noticed that the cracks and pops weren't there.. I've had the exhaust in powerful mode, but maybe didn't have it in sport. Will have to see if that brings back the crackles. So much fun regardless, I look forward to driving it every time.
