2010 S550 Engine Noise
Does the new tail pipe design increase the engine noise in the cabin? Was on a test drive today on a 2010 S and the engine noise was noticeable when driving at low speeds. The car was loaded with a sport package.

2010 Sport models are specifically designed that way. Luxury's are more sedate.

Would anyone with a '10 S550 Sport be willing to upload a video of what the new exhaust sounds like? I'd be quite interested in hearing the differences.

Yes, I noticed that too. It's funny how when they list the changes that were done for 2010, they always leave things out that we find out later.
