I Bought 2 Old AMGs! Why they‘re BETTER and LOUDER!

UNVEILING MY TWO NEW (OLD) LOUD #MercedesAMG cars!! Welcome back to Remove Before Race guys!! And today is a personal video but one sharing a feeling and fear we all fear: the future of performance cars!
I’ve bought two Old AMGs for my permanent collection, as newer cars are becoming quieter thanks to EU regs imposing emission controls and noise regulations: the dreaded OPF in the New C63S and most new cars as an example!
First car of my permanent collection is the C63 black - the C63 has always been to me the quintessential AMG, taking a standard Mercedes and shoehorning a huge 6.2 litre engine! That engine is the highlight, still used in today’s GT3 racing car so a worthy first entry.
Now To join the collection: the #AMG C63 S Coupé Motorsport Edition 1!! I love the C63S of the 205 gen, and I had always figured another like this would be made which i’d wait for... BUT sadly the C63R or whatever it was to be called has been cancelled! 🤐 And then the news of the next C63 being 4 cylinder... pushed me over. Video on that topic coming soon! I tried the new facelift car, which has better suspension, AMG dynamics, digital interior and updated looks: BUT it’s quieter like all new cars are required to be!
So I bought the Pre facelift Edition 1 inspired by the insane C63 DTM racing car. It’s a loud one with sound near on GT R levels! Unlike the 204 series, this is a much more dynamic car thanks to dynamic engine mounts as seen in the GT R, & the engine is the same family as the AMG GT R with the Hot V engine producing 510BHP! Before it came out we all worried the shift to turbo would mean bad sound, but this incredible and unhindered 4.0 V8 is louder than the black in most situations! Like the the black, it has a unique front and rear wide body vs the normal.
Next is the original A45: every stable needs a great hot hatch: and while the A45S is a sports car in the compact segment, that’s not necessarily what makes a great hot hatch! The A45 was a disruptive product, one that worries AMG customers as it was new territory, but one that eventually became one of the most fun and loud cars they’ve ever made!
Full review is coming soon, on both!! Today we explore:
- New cars are quiet! Old GLC63S vs New GLC63S with OPF filter
- Unveil of my Two New AMGs!
- What makes a great AMG?
- The C63 AMG Black Series 204
- Black Series Stock Sound
- C63S Edition 1 Motorsport w205!
- C63S Facelift OPF Exhaust is quiet
- C63S wide body and tech
- Shared tech with AMG GT R
- M177 Engine in the C63S
- Sound of the pre facelift C63S!
- Restoration and mods
- Gen 1 Original A45 AMG
- Loud SOUND of the A45 AMG!
- Mods - A45S wheels
- Conclusion

How nice to these two sound?! C63S is on GT R levels! Hope you all enjoyed! My shadow clone at the end is the one who does all the editing: talented dude. 😂 Any of you share this fear many of us in the industry have of future performance cars? What is in your ideal garage? Many of you asking: why not aftermarket exhaust? Some unfortunate facts of the future: sale of aftermarket systems will soon be banned in the EU, it's been proposed many times already and the tuners are shitting it. Removal of OPF is really needed for better "stock" sound, but this voids MOT and thus car is illegal. Also, good luck making your 2024 AMG GT 4 cylinder sound anything but a shit-box with an aftermarket exhaust. 😅

[@daniel3257]

You're missing a significant issue: it's not About the exhaust in itself, it's About the OPF which as soon as a car is fitted with one you cannot legally remove and which eats A LOT of the Sound. With an OPF built in the makers themselves IMO are already doing everything they can when it Comes to exhaust notes, there's a ton of Clips showing that Akrapovic et al only Change tone but not loudness. Which - to top it all of - would be illegal as well nowadays. Basically if you're a fan of Sound, don't buy an OPF car :)

[@MusashiSamurai]

Too bloody true...! I still haven't recovered from when F1 cars went from V10s to V8 to V6s and now they're 4 Cylinders! Such a large part of the passion of driving stems from the sound of the engine and the feeling that it is _alive_. I test-drove a Tesla a few years ago; and it left cold. Sure the performance is pretty impressive; but feels too digital...

Gary_LB good job man, it’s a great car

[@waynehunt4327]

I have recently bought the current E63s, fully optioned up here in Australia where the tighter Exhaust Laws are yet to come in. Like you, I agree that Exhaust notes as we have known them (and even the V8 Engine) will become ‘memories’ in the not too distant future; so applaud your ‘buying spree’. As to whether you should update the Bodies? You bought them for what they are; not sure adding ‘bits & pieces’ will do any justice to your original thought process - Classics are there to be enjoyed for what they were at the time they were released, in all their original Glory. Keep up your wonderful Vlogs - some of the VERY BEST out there.

New isn't always cool as we see with today's developments. With the A45 I'm sure a little bit more power wouldn't hurt anybody...😁

[@waverleyjournalise5757]

Raz, can we have 40 minute videos on both of these... they deserve it! Swap out the grille and bumper, it may be sharing the grille with the GLB but that car could never look as good as this. I see you sneaked in a shot of your Solarbeam GT R Pro there... hehehe I was wondering what had happened to the C 63 R, saw the track photos with the wing and wanted to see what was going on... shame to hear it was cancelled. And out of interest, I saw the Audi R8 reviews from both you and The Straight Pipes... the difference in sound between Euro and US exhaust specs should be made illegal.

[@spenkew]

Exactly what I'm thinking. I've already started to look for a 2017 AMG C63 S. And the good thing is, the prices for the w205 is really affordable now, it's like half of what it was when it got released. Was really looking forward to the 2019/2020 versions because of all the new tech, virtual cockpit, dials on the steering wheel, and was SO disappointed when the face lifted C63S that has everything I've wanted... except for the engine and exhaust noise, which is what defines an AMG!!! I was so looking forward to the 2019 C63S after watching your review of the matte black one you tested in your previous videos and then to only find out of the new EU regulations Don't even want to imagine what a 4 cyl AMG would sound like.

[@andyp8464]

Spent an hour at mb world in a c63s facelift .pops and bangs are numerous but not as loud as the the pre facelift and no whip crack up shifts. But otherwise the car was very complicated with all its modes etc but definitely a step up from the pre facelift in many ways except character , the pre facelift felt slightly more analogue. Gotta love a 45, their upshift whip crack shifts and down shift crackles and pops are unbeatable . Couple that with poor cabin sound insulation and you get one of the best aural experiences out there
