AWE Tuning confirms fitment for AMG C43 Coupe
AWE Tuning announced today the introduction of their new W205 AMG C43 Coupe Exhaust application.
“With the success of the 3.0T C-Class platforms it only made sense to extend the offerings to the new, popular Coupe. Now the car has exhaust options readily available that are just as appealing as the car itself," stated Jesse Kramer, VP of Marketing at AWE Tuning.
Details on the AWE Tuning Mercedes-Benz W205 AMG C43 / 400 / 450 AMG Exhaust Suite are as follows:
Fits W205 AMG C43 Coupes and Sedans, as well as C450 AMG and C400 models
Max gains of 7 hp and 13 ft-lbs of torque to the crank
Sophisticated Touring Edition or the more unleashed Track Edition

So if i get AWE Tuning AMG C43 Touring Edition Exhaust and AWE Tuning Electronic Valve Simulators, I will be able to control the valve as I currently do with my AMG PE?

There are not valves in the systems. The simulators are plugged into the the valve connectors.
Hi Josh, Just to confirm- are the Awe exhausts for the sedan and coupe exactly the same? If so, i may stop by this week and pick one up. Also, what are the electric valve simulators?

Hey! Correct, surprisingly. The wheel bases are typically different between sedans and coupes, but MB didn't go that route for this platform. Hit me beforehand as it may have to be built.
The valve simulators or not required or included with the systems. They are optional for those running the factory valved configurations, and they're so you can plug them up and the ECU won't "know" the valves have been omitted.
We met at your corporate office in Horsham on Friday. I have the black c43 coupe. I purchased the track edition exhaust and installed it over the weekend and just wanted to share my experience. Fitment was great mounted up to my Weistec catless downpipes. The sound....LOUD! The sound is actually much deeper with the track exhaust then it sounds on most videos (which is a good thing). There is of course drone without the 180 degree technology in the mufflers found on the touring exhaust, but if you put the car in comfort it does help reduce the drone at cruising speed. Another thing I noticed is that you get a ton of vibration through the center console/ armrest with the exhaust, which was surprising (not sure if this is simply due to noise or if the exhaust may be slightly resting on the lower cross member than runs beneath it. One thing I thought I'd add that I haven't heard anyone mention is that when you add catless downpipes to the stock exhaust you end up with an almost "tin" or high pitched "ping" like sound, on upshifts/down shifts that isn't pleasing; after adding the awe exhaust this sound has completely gone away which is great. Overall i'm very happy with the purchase. The only thing I may do is have a shop weld true quad exhaust tips onto the system, which would stick through the rear valence and I'll remove the fake exhaust tips which mount to the bumper. I like the look of the brabus exhaust with the true quad tail pipes. Great product as always from you guys!

Pleasure meeting you, my man! I would double check and adjust to make sure it's not making contact with anything underneath. Since you're running DPs I am unsure how their units "seat" and connect to the exhaust behind it. Make sure the clamps are tight.
I am happy you're happy! Hope to see/hear a video or too
I just ordered the Track kit for my c450. I'm curious why you engineered your system to hug the driver side of the driveshaft. The C63 and c43 performance exhaust both split after the h pipe and go around the driveshaft.
Either way, I am very much looking forward to the rowdy.

Congrats! I'm not sure I am following your question, I'm afraid. We follow the same route/path as the factory configurations, just with 2 channels vs 1
Here is a pic I found of the OEM performance exhaust for the 43 engine
This is similar to the design of the OEM 63 engine performance exhaust
I noticed you followed the same design with your own AWE 63 exhaust
Yet with your 43 exhaust system you hugged the drivers side

Ah! I see what you're saying. The non-sport configuration for the 43/450 is a single route, which banks left. The 43 and it's sport exhaust option were not available when we did our development -- not to say we would have mimic'd that configuration's route, but for perspective. Things get tricky and tighter when running two pipe paths vs one -- so the further away it is from the moving components the better.
Does this exhaust increase pops/crackles, or just makes exhaust note louder and deeper? I have the sport exhaust and want the pops/crackles...
Exhaust soundtrack is enhanced, and the crackles are too if your vehicle already crackles. The exhaust is not responsible for crackles, that is due to software.
