I can't believe MB put it there for no reason and it must cost a ton. The exhaust is not loud so it doesn't seem noise was the reason.

What was your car originally equipped with, the dual 'kidney' resonators, or a single resonator?
It has never been unusual for exhaust 'mods' on the turbodiesels to result in resonance or vibration in the cabin at certain rpms. The original equipment exhaust is designed a certain way for a reason.
Did you weld the new, replacement piece in or did you clamp it?
No the OEM setup does not cost a 'ton', but that depends on what your definition of a ton may be....
