GLE 63 AMG Engine Map
Discussion
Not sure if this is a question for the masses or the specialist tuners (DMS and the like) but....
I have had the use of a GLE63 for the last week and whilst I have decided to order a competitor vehicle the brutish popping and crackling on downshift in S+ mode was awesome.
Now I need to find someone who has accessed the GLE map to see how compatible it is with the SL63 engine etc. I have a SL63 which has already had the DMS treatment but does not behave anything like the GLE on downshift so it needs remapping again to bring the GLE grin back!!

A lot of has to to with the freedom of the exhaust. Example E63 sounds muted vs C63, likewise for some reason Merc decided to give the GLE one hell of a noise, amplified further by a remap.
My C63 is Eurocharged. It was loud before but even more so now, with more aggressive downshifting in M and S+, in turn creating loud crackles and snaps which are louder and more frequent the hotter I gets. I do love the sound (more so the performance enhancement, as it's just that little more eager) but it can be obnoxious sometimes, like when in M or S+ mode and coming to a stop after you've let it hang in gear a little over 3k RPM, it/you can knock down to 2nd or 1st with one hell of a racket. Happened the other day when I came to traffic lights on a NSL dual carriageway, down into 2nd in S+, BIG blip and bang which alerted Mr BMW already at the lights and tripped his "full race mode" switch, and led him to start driving like a bell-end and race-baiting. That can be fun sometimes in this car but the roads are 90% chumps in fast cars who know not how to drive and those who do who have nice passion for cars wouldn't be impressed with my blipping
. This is easily avoided mind you by driving in Comfort mode, by not being hard on brakes in S+, using M mode or just not hanging the gears out like a lazy oaf.
The above is why I like AMG's though, they are very Jekyll and Hyde; drive it how you feel in the mood for. Eurocharged just gave more more of Dr Jekyll, so I suppose if you ignore my drivel above, Eurocharged seems to be what you want and maybe an exhaust mod,
