300E Center Muffler

If one muffler is falling apart, the rest of the system's probably pretty close to. I bought a stainless system (ferritta) for my (late) 300E. Slightly cheaper than stock, but with an awsome sound =) Not louder, but nicer IMHO.

It's hard to argue with the quality of Mercedes OEM (Eberspaecher) exhaust components. Just look how long the last system lasted...

My center muffler and rear silencer died at 150k. Not bad I guess. That includes 4 yrs in Minnesota, some time in Missouri, and the rest of its life here in Colorado. Snow and road grit. I went with MB OEM parts. Sometimes I wish I would have investigated a different setup maybe for better exhaust sound and a few extra horsepower. My exhaust makes almost zero sound with new parts. Nice, in its own tranquil way. I can hear the birds twitter when my car is running.

I just replaced a complete muffler system from the exhaust manifold to the tail muffler and all bolts, hangers, and rubber donuts (1981

I ordered the complete system from a Napa auto parts store for $208.00 (Walker brand) and ordered manifold donut for the header pipe ($15.00 including shipping).

Sounds great, fits great, $130.00 in total labor.

It started as a DIY, but I could not break the exhaust manifold nuts;
