e55 and e63 sounds about the same to me.. I think they both sound very good for stock cars.

new C63 best by far

had the chance to drive the new C 63 AMG and the exhaust sound is insane and amazing...

it sounds so different and better than previous models,, like a LION roaring,,
seriously..

every car magazine, and car TV show I have seen in the past month agree as well and comment on the amazing roar sound..

this includes Road and Track, TOP GEAR, MOTOR TREND, MOTOR WEEK,
SUPERCARS,

makes me want to get the mufflers for sure..
I understand from Mercedes and also a dealer mech that they changed the exhaust and muffler alot on the new C 63, and it shows..

the CLK black AMG sounds similiar althought still different and not as good, but my vote for second..

what a beast..

While I haven't heard all of the different AMGs exhaust sounds, I test drove a new SL63 at my local dealer the other day, and it sounds like a 60s muscle car. A real mean loping guttoral sound. I never knew a Mercedes could or would ever sound like that stock. Makes my E63 sound like a honda accord.

if it was the 09 SL 63 that is the new exhaust design they did like the C63 I was talking about, its way more aggressive and has a howl growl to it like a lion pride waiting to eat lol

its great.. I want those new tuned mufflers

the new sl63 is amazing.

I drove a G55K the other day, and as far as 55k engines go that sound the best by far, and N/A 55 engines the SLK 55 wins.

I like the sound of the x63's. I haven't heard a C63 [except on YouTube], but I've heard they sound quite nice.

slk55 gets my vote. My sister crashed at my place last night, and when she started it this mornimg, it sounded so good. Neighbors kids were at the end of my driveway, and when her car started, they jumped and ran back away a bit

2006 s65. Ford Excursion 6.0. Pontiac GTO convertible. Porsche 944 Turbo SCCA car. Wife-E550 and 968
All I know is that there is this 1/4 mile tunnel on the Merritt Pkwy in CT (or is it in NY by then?) and I love slowing down to 40, rolling the windows and the roof, and doing a 40 - 100 run with the car banging off the redline twice... sounds like a top fuel dragster in those conditions and I get thumbs up (and other digits, depending on the observer) every time I do it...

That being said, G55's sound like satan's SUV and SL 65's play a very exotic riff...

4 wheels
C63, SL63 or SL65. Everything else IMO is muted and tamed.
