E43 Brabus - anyone tried it?

Hello guys,

I'm sure you can't go wrong with their complete package, but we are considering Brabus front lip spoiler, exhaust and rear diffuser (they have to go together).

Also looking into E43 Supersprint exhaust as its sound is similar to stock, but we are uncertain whether the volume is loud enough to make a difference.
If anyone could share experience with their products it would be greatly appreciated!

Below is the stock E43 at our disposal:

I'm sure the car will be beautiful. However, after you factor in the price of the E43 plus the money for the upgrades, it might be less expensive to get an E63. Brabus upgrades can be quite expensive.

Thank you for your reply. There were several reasons we chose E43 over E63S or E63 as:

1. $50K difference in price where we live;
2. Daily commute with decent mpg without being boring;
3. Proper RWD proper sports car already in the garage; and
4. Only E63S offers switcheable AWD. (Awd only here.. so sad you can't even donut without spending over a 150 grand with E class!)

I've heard a decent Brabus package such as above cost around 8 grand at max; really just wanted to know if there is any drone with Brabus exhaust ( I know supersprint does with low rpm) since that can be a pain to live with.

Your reasons make perfect sense to me, especially the $50K difference in price. I think in the US, the difference is only about $30k. I'm just a little surprised an ECU tune for the E43 (V6 Biturbo) only gains about 15-20hp.

I would not go for the Brabus exhaust. In my opinion it sounds like ****. This is because it has no X pipe as far as i can see , so it actually sounds like 2 3 cilinder engines.
The supersprint exhaust sounds much better and you can get it in different configurations , so you can make it as loud as you want. There is a video on youtube of the supersprint exhaust where it sounds really good.
