CLS 63 & 55 Exhaust comparisons

My buddy brought over his 63 today, so I took some pics and did a little exhaust note comparisons... So lets vote what sounds better.

Also for all of the MODS freaks, can you name the differences in the two..






















55



63

63 - black gauges with different script, leather/alcantra steering wheel, newer style shark fin GPS/SAT antenna, factory pedals

55s sound awesome, it's the one thing that really stood out when I test drove a SL55 a while back. I wonder why the 63 sounds so crappy in comparison? The 65 doesn't sound too hot either from what I can recall.

Wow, that is nice...

Not sure which I'd take.

55 interior. 55 wheels. 55 suspension. 55 exhaust note.
63 engine.

The 63's engine is less powerful. It only provides comparable acceleration, particularly on the high end, because it's running through a 7-speed gearbox, as opposed to the 55's 5-speed.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the suspension was improved for the 63.

Very good Robert, only thing your off on is the rear lower valence was just removed instead of painted.

The suspension is the same on the 63, now the 030 package has some minor adjustments to it.
