[Tigers] Tigers Digest, Vol 5, Issue 21

[Pointers]

I see (hear) what you mean.
Plenty of owners have posted sound bits on Youtube.
On further Googling:
"When designing the sound, the aim was to create a perfect synthesis of
aggressiveness and the comfort on long journeys that is the hallmark of a
Mercedes. The goal of the developers was to achieve an emotional experience
when accelerating and rev-matching, but unobtrusiveness at constant speeds"
Impressive, given:
"The requirements for the exhaust system were complex: low exhaust emissions,
compliance with country-specific standards and a characteristic AMG engine
sound. "

I'm sure Rootes went to the same trouble

I had the pleasure the other day to do some repairs on a AMG 6.3 in a C class
body,  had I not seen the under side of the car I would have sworn the
exhaust
was modified or aftermarket,  but it wasn't...it was almost as good as a
Cammer with side pipes....The test drive was equally rewarding,  with the
tracs off,  it would not come close to hooking up,  but with it on,  it was
impressive,  Clyde
