2017 SL550 EXHAUST IN SPORT+
strange question perhaps but wanted to know if you get burbling popping sound with rev matching as per the sl63 in any of driving modes.
I had a 2014 and it did not but maybe in 2017?

The 2017 has a louder exhaust than the pre-facelift models. Sport plus is louder and deeper (open flaps) but no backfires. That is AMG-specific...

I have the 2017 400 and in S+ the backfires are not massive but are there (loud enough to turn heads) and sound nice & the exhaust is much louder. Probably much better on the 500.
