Hi Folks,

I have an 86 300SDL with a hole in the resonator, or center muffler. The
rear muffler is fine. I once had a truck with the same problem, and ended
up just having the resonator removed and running the pipe directly to the rear
muffler. The loudness increased just a tad which I don't mind. Would it
be OK to do this with the Mercedes? Thanks,

You will alter the torque response of the engine... Exhaust is not that
expensive when you buy them online. Mmm... seems like all the exhaust
disappeared from catalogs... call BMA Autoparts up for Ansa or Eberspeacher.

Timevalve is stainless steel... I would only install it if you plan to keep
the car forever. Their exhaust system is quite pricy.
